NARRATOR: When it was evening on the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them.
JESUS: Peace be with you.
NARRATOR: After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
JESUS: Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
NARRATOR: When he had said this, he breathed on them and said—
JESUS: Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.
