18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.
19. On the evening of that first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
20. When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples were then glad when they saw the Lord.
21. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As My Father has sent Me, even so I send you.”
22. When He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23. If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.”
24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called The Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
25. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand in His side, I will not believe.”
