John 20:19-25
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19So while it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and while the doors were shut where the disciples were, for afear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “1,bPeace be with you.” 20And when He had said this, aHe showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then brejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21So Jesus said to them again, “aPeace be with you; bas the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22And when He had said this, He abreathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23“aIf you forgive the sins of any, their sins 1have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
24But aThomas, one of bthe twelve, called 1,cDidymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in aHis hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, bI will not believe.”
