John 20:19-23

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 Now [when it] was evening on that day--the first [day] of the week--and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace to you."
20 And [when he] had said this, he showed [his] hands and [his] side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced [when they] saw the Lord.
21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you."
22 And [when he] had said this, he breathed on [them] and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain [the sins] of any, they are retained."
