John 20:21-23
The Voice
Jesus: 21 I give you the gift of peace. In the same way the Father sent Me, I am now sending you.
22 Now He drew close enough to each of them that they could feel His breath. He breathed on them:
Jesus: Welcome the Holy Spirit of the living God. 23 You now have the mantle of God’s forgiveness. As you go, you are able to share the life-giving power to forgive sins, or to withhold forgiveness.
John 20:21-23
New International Version
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!(A) As the Father has sent me,(B) I am sending you.”(C) 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.(D) 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”(E)
