John 20:21

¹⁹ It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.

²⁰ After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

²² When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

²³ If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
