19So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shutwhere the disciples were, for 1fear of the Jews, Jesuscame and stood in their midst and said to them, "a2Peace be with you."20
And when He had saidthis, 3He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciplesthen4rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
