John 20:17-25

¹⁷Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

¹⁹At 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!

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

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

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

²³Any 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.

²⁴Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.
