This definition of the word is about to make a lot more sense when you look at the context of this verse. It can also mean wholeness or peace of mind. The word for peace used here is ‘ eiréné’ which means one, peace, quietness, or rest. To really understand what Jesus means you must know what the word peace actually means. What Does Jesus Mean by ‘Peace Be with You?’ As you will discover, not only was this necessary for the disciples in the moment, but it was necessary for their future as well. As you see in the verses above, Jesus greeted his disciples with the phrase ‘Peace be with you.’ What was the reason? 'Peace be with you' was far more than just a platitude or casual greeting. I think the same thing can be said of the peace of God. There is this old song that says, if we ever needed the Lord before, we sure do need him now.
Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” – John 20:26 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” – John 20:19Īgain Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” – John 20:21Ī week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them.
