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!”
27. Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe!”
28. Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29. Yeshua said to Him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed? Blessed are the ones who have not seen and yet have believed!”
