19 It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week,and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto themPeace be unto you!

20 and, this, saying he pointed out both his hands and his side unto them. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced, seeing the Lord.

21 Jesus, therefore, said unto them, again,Peace be unto you! Just as, my Father, sent me forth, I, also, send you.

22 And, this, saying, he breathed strongly, and saith unto themReceive ye Holy Spirit:

23 Whosesoever sins ye shall remit, they are remitted unto them, whosesoever ye shall retain, they are retained.
