John 20:19-26

¹⁹In the evening of the same day — the first day of the week — after the doors of the room, in which the disciples were, had been shut because they were afraid of the religious authorities, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you”;

²⁰after which he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Master.

²¹Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me as his messenger, so I am sending you.”

²²After saying this, he breathed on them, and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³if you remit anyone's sins, they have been remitted; and, if you retain them, they have been retained.”

²⁴But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called ‘The Twin,’ was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵so the rest of the disciples said to him, “We have seen the Master!” “Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands,” he exclaimed, “and put my finger into the marks, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.”

²⁶A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas with them. After the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.”
