19 Nesse dia, que era o primeiro da semana, à tarde, trancadas as portas da casa onde se achavam os discípulos, por medo que tinham dos judeus, veio Jesus, e pôs-se no meio deles e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.

20 Dito isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se muito ao verem o Senhor.

21 Jesus de novo disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco; como o Pai me enviou a mim, assim eu vos envio a vós.

22 Dito isto, soprou sobre eles e disse-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.

23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados, lhes serão perdoados; e àqueles a quem os retiverdes, lhes serão retidos.

19 At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

20 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21 And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

22 And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

23 Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.
