19. It was evening on that day, the first of the week. When the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Judean leaders, Yeshua came and stood in their midst! And He said to them, “Shalom aleichem!”
20. After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21. Yeshua said to them again, “Shalom aleichem! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
22. And after He said this, He breathed on them. And He said to them, “Receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh!
23. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; but if you hold back, they are held back.”
24. One of the Twelve, Thomas called the Twin, was not with them when Yeshua came.
25. The other disciples were saying to him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But he replied to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand in His side, I will never believe!”
26. Eight days later the disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Yeshua comes, despite the locked doors. He stood in their midst and said, “Shalom aleichem!”
