John:14:27
rwp@John:14:27 @{My peace} (\eirnn tn emn\). This is Christ's bequest to the disciples before he goes, the _shalom_ of the orient for greeting and parting, used by Jesus in his appearances after the resurrection (20:19,21,26|) as in strkjv@2John:1:3; strkjv@3John:1:14|, but here and in strkjv@16:33| in the sense of spiritual peace such as only Christ can give and which his Incarnation offers to men (Luke:2:14|). {Neither let it be fearful} (\med deiliat\). Added to the prohibition in verse 1|, only N.T. example of \deilia\ (rare word in Aristotle, in a papyrus of one condemned to death), common in LXX, like palpitating of the heart (from \deilos\).
