21. Yeshua therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the 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 anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Yeshua came.
25. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26. After eight days again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Yeshua came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”
27. Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
28. Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29. Yeshua said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”
30. Therefore Yeshua did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31. but these are written, that you may believe that Yeshua is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
