21“May you have peace!” Jesus told them again. “In the same way the Father sent me, so I'm sending you.”
22Saying this, he breathed on them, and told them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you hold them unforgiven, unforgiven they remain.”
24One of the twelve disciples, Thomas, who was called the Twin, wasn't with them when Jesus came.
25So the other disciples told him, “We've seen the Lord.” But he replied, “I won't believe it unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger in them, and put my hand in his side.”
26One week later the disciples were together inside the house; and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, and Jesus came and stood among them. “May you have peace!” he said.
