If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you hold them against anyone, they are held.”
In context
21Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22With that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you hold them against anyone, they are held.” 24Now Thomas (the Twin), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
