John 20:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

²² When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

²³ Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
