18. Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
19. On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
20. After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
22. And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23. If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
