In this episode, we finish chapter 20 of the Book of John. Jesus has been resurrected from the dead. Meanwhile, His disciples are in a locked room hiding from the Jewish leaders because they fear the Jewish leaders will execute them as well. Then, Jesus just appears to them. Jesus tells them that He will be sending them out to preach the gossip of His life, death and resurrection. Jesus breathed on them and said, "'Receive the Holy Spirit.'" This represents that what Jesus did on the cross now makes it possible for them and all believers to receive or to be baptized with the Holy Spirit--though the full indwelling of the Spirit will not happen until Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4). Jesus tells them that those who accept Him will have their sins forgiven. Finally, John tells us why he wrote his book; that is, to focus on Jesus as the Messiah and God, and so those who read it will accept Jesus as Savior.
