John 20:22 - trettep - 07-19-2005

Notice the big difference here below - We have in one verse the phrase "he gave them courage" and in the other we have "he breathed on them".

From Lambsa:
John 20:22
And when he had said these things, he gave them courage and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.

From KJV:
John 20:22
Joh 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Why such a big difference. Where did Lambsa get his phrase from? Also, that word in Strongs 1720 I could not find another use of.

Can anyone clarify this?
