In the Gospel of John, where the Apostles, possibly with a few other disciples present, were the only recipients of it as Christ breathed it. You understand the difference between propagation and procession, do you not?

Let's see now, Thomas wasn't there, Matthias wasn't there and Paul wasn't there and they were all Apostles. Paul could lay hands on believers and they received the Holy Spirit just like Peter did. Perhaps the breathing on them had something to do with their being able to patiently wait in the upper room, all 120 of them, until the fulfillment of a portion of Joel's prophecy and the promise of Jesus to send another advocate (that's lawyer for all my despised professional buddies out there)come to fruition at Pentecost. It made tigers out of a bunch of cowering kitties.
