Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again,“Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22 And after he said this, he breathed on them and said,“Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.” 24 The Response of Thomas Now Thomas(called Didymus), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples told him,“We have seen the Lord!” But he replied,“Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!” 26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said,“Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas,“Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.” 28 Thomas replied to him,“My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him,“Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people who have not seen and yet have believed.”
