John 20:18-24

¹⁸Mary Magdalene went reporting to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

¹⁹Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

²⁰And having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

²¹Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! Just as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

²²And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

²³If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, the one called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
