In John's Gospel, Jesus breathed on the disciples on the evening of the day of his resurrection, giving them the Holy Spirit.

The synoptic gospels do not have this episode, and Acts of the Apostles has the disciples receive the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the Day of the Pentecost.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus breathed on his apostles to give them the Holy Spirit and empower them for their mission to spread the good news of salvation. This act symbolized the giving of the Holy Spirit and the commissioning of the apostles to carry out their ministry.
