As the Father sent me, so am I sending you: receive the Holy Spirit.
This reading comprises essentially, the caput given. However, it seems that from the text itself, the caput boundary indicated by the position of the heading might be incorrect. Thus the text break, as indicated by the Sangallen notation, which makes better sense is used. So in the Sangallen notation, it is, 230: 1 – 6, 231: 1 – 3, and 232: 1 – 6. The reading is marked out from John, but heavily infilled using Luke.

CLXXVII. Ubi Ihesus apparuit discipulis suis.
(Where Jesus appeared to His disciples.)


230: 1
Now, whilst they were speaking these things, when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Judeans,
2
Jesus came and stood in the midst of his disciples and said to them:
Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not.
3
But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
4
And he said to them:
Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
5
See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.
6
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands, feet and his side.

231: 1
But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said:
Have you here any thing to eat?
2
And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish and a honeycomb. And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
3
And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.

232: 1
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
2
And he said to them:
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day, and that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
3
And you are witnesses of these things, and I send the promise of my Father upon you:
4
The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
5
He said therefore to them again:
Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
6
When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them:
Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
