Compare all
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet aascended to My Father; but go to bMy brethren and say to them, c‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to dMy God and your God.’ ”  
18 aMary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.  

The Apostles Commissioned

19 aThen, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were1 assembled, for bfear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, c“Peace be with you.”  
20 When He had said this, He ashowed them His hands and His side. bThen the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.  
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! aAs the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”  
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 aIf you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”  

Seeing and Believing

24 Now Thomas, acalled the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.  
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”
27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and areach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be bunbelieving, but believing.”  
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him,1 “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. aBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

John 20:19

When therefore it was evening on that day (oushv oun oyiav th hmerai ekeinei). Genitive absolute with oyia (oyiov, late), old word with wra (hour) understood and here for the time from six to nine (John 6:16) and the locative case of time with hmerai (day). John often uses this note of time (John 1:39; John 5:9; John 11:53; John 14:20; John 16:23, John 16:26). The addition of th miai sabbatwn (see John 20:1 for this use of miai like prwth) proves that John is using Roman time, not Jewish, for here evening follows day instead of preceding it.

When the doors were shut (twn qurwn kekleismenwn). Genitive absolute again with perfect passive participle of kleiw, shut to keep the Jews out. News of the empty tomb had already spread (Matthew 28:11). See John 7:13 for the phrase "for fear of the Jews"; cf. John 12:42.

Stood in the midst (esth eiv to meson). Second aorist (ingressive) active (intransitive) of isthmi, "stepped into the midst."

Peace be unto you (Eirhnh umin). The usual oriental salutation as in verses John 20:21, John 20:26; Luke 24:36, here with probable reference to John 14:27 (Christ's legacy of peace).
