where the disciples were for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you.
[20:20]And having said this he showed them both his hands and his side;
then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. [20:21]Then he said
to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent me, I also send
you. [20:22]And having said this he breathed on them, and said to them,
Receive the Holy Spirit. [20:23]Those whose sins you forgive, are
forgiven; and whose you retain, are retained.
4 [20:24]But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with
them when Jesus came. [20:25]Then the other disciples said to him, We
have seen the Lord; but he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the

and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was from Cana in Galilee,
and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
[21:3]Simon Peter said to them, I am going a fishing. They said to him,
