Jesus appears to his disciples and shows them his hands and his side. He breathes on them and says, &#8220;Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.&#8221; Reading John in Lent&#160;has become&#160;Reading John in Easter&#160;and concludes on Easter Friday.

John 21: 1-14

During the weekdays and Saturdays of Lent, we're bringing you daily podcasts from the Gospel of John - "the disciple whom Jesus loved". Starting with an introduction from Canon Christopher Thomas on Shrove Tuesday, 'Reading John in Lent' starts in earnest on Ash Wednesday with John 1: 1-18, telling us how "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" - Jesus Christ, the only Son from the Father. We then follow the Gospel through all 22 chapters concluding on the Friday of Easter Week. Join us as for 'Reading John in Lent'. Taken from the English Standard Version of the Bible.
