14:27 Peace. This was a common Hebrew salutation used in greeting or farewell. Jesus gives it a new and deeper sense that reappears in the salutations of the New Testament letters. Jesus’ peace is true reconciliation with God, purchased with His death (Acts 10:36; Rom. 5:1; 14:17; Eph. 2:14–17; Phil. 4:7; Col. 3:15). It is the supreme remedy for all fears (v. 1), and the legacy Jesus left for His heirs.
