John 20:21-26

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 amongst them, and said, “Peace be with you.”
