Did God breathe on you and you received the Holy Ghost to forgive sins?

Is so, when was that? And who witnessed it?

No he did not, I am aware of what the Catholic answer is to this verse and a discussion would most likely be pointless. However if Apostolic Succession is a real thing I would ask why no other gift is present today? In the Bible we see the Apostles simply declaring something and it was so. They raised the dead, healed, and cast out demons on their first attempt every time. I would further if Apostolic Succession is still happening where was the authority to expand it from the original 12 to thousands?
