In the context of the Last Supper, Jesus is preparing His followers for His imminent departure. The concept of peace (shalom in Hebrew) is deeply rooted in Jewish culture, representing not just the absence of conflict but a holistic sense of well-being and harmony. This peace is a legacy Jesus imparts, contrasting with the turmoil of the world.My peace I give to you. Jesus emphasizes that the peace He offers is His own, distinct from any peace the world might offer. This peace is rooted in a relationship with God and is a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>). It is a peace that surpasses all understanding (<a href="/philippians/4-7.htm">Philippians 4:7</a>), grounded in the assurance of salvation and eternal life through Christ.I do not give to you as the world gives. The world's peace is often temporary and conditional, based on circumstances or human agreements. In contrast, Jesus' peace is unconditional and eternal, not subject to the changing tides of worldly events. This reflects the biblical theme of God's ways being higher than human ways (<a href="/isaiah/55-8.htm">Isaiah 55:8-9</a>).Do not let your hearts be troubled; This is a direct command from Jesus, encouraging His disciples to trust in Him despite the impending challenges. The Greek word for "troubled" (tarassō) implies agitation or disturbance. Jesus reassures them that His peace can calm their inner turmoil, echoing His earlier words in <a href="/john/14.htm">John 14:1</a>.do not be afraid. Fear is a natural human response to uncertainty and danger. Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard of faith, trusting in His sovereignty and love. This echoes the frequent biblical exhortation to "fear not," found throughout Scripture, reminding believers of God's constant presence and protection (<a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this verse, offering His peace to His disciples.

Men said to each other when they met and parted, "Shalom! Shalom!" (Peace! Peace!) just as they say the "Salaam! Salaam!" in our own day. (See <a href="/1_samuel/1-17.htm" title="Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you have asked of him.">1Samuel 1:17</a>; <a href="/luke/7-50.htm" title="And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.">Luke 7:50</a>; <a href="/acts/16-36.htm" title="And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.">Acts 16:36</a>; <a href="/james/2-16.htm" title="And one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?">James 2:16</a>; <a href="/ephesians/6-23.htm" title="Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.">Ephesians 6:23</a>; <a href="/1_peter/5-14.htm" title="Greet you one another with a kiss of charity.

Our friends salute you. Greet the friends by name.">3John 1:14</a>.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 27. - "Then follow the last words as of one who is about to go away, and says 'Good night,' or gives his blessing" (Luther). Peace I leave with (or, to) you. Peace (dρήνη) answers to the (שָׁלום) shalom of ordinary converse and greeting, and signifies prosperity, health of soul, serenity, farewell. This is the sacred bestowment and Divine legacy of the Lord. "Peace" is always the result of equilibrated forces, the poise of antagonistic elements, held in check by one another. Of these the most placid lake, hidden in the hills and reflecting the sunshine and shadows, is a remarkable illustration. So the peace Christ leaves is power to hold the wildest fear in pause, to still a clamor or hush a cry - it is the coming of mercy to a sense of sin, of life to the fear of death. But when he added, The peace that is mine I give to you, we are reminded of the tremendous conflict going on in his own nature at that very moment, and of the sublime secret of Jesus, by which the will of man was brought, even in agony and death, into utter harmony with the will of God. The ἀφίημι, and δίδωμι of this verse show how the ordinary salutation may become invested with immense significance. There are moments when into one human word may be condensed the love of a lifetime. Christ does but pour through these common words the fire of his eternal and infinite love. Not as the world giveth, give I to you, both as to manner and matter and power. The mode of giving is real, sincere, neither formal nor hypocritical. "I say it, and I mean it." (Meyer, in opposition to Coder, thinks this unworthy of the Savior at this moment; but Godet is right.) The matter, substance, and value of the prosperity and peace I give stretches out into eternity; and I give it, I do not merely talk of it or wish it. "Christ's farewell greeting is forerunner of the beatific salutation which shall accompany the eternal meeting" (Lange). Then, returning to the Divine words of Ver. 1, he seems to say, "Have I not justified all that I have said?" - Let not your heart be troubled, harassed by these mysteries or by my departure, neither let it be terrified (δελιάτω). This is the only place in the New Testament where the word occurs, though it is found in the LXX.; δειλός and δειλία, in the sense of timidity from extrinsic fear, may frequently be found. He must have seen some rising symptoms of the carnal weakness which would prostrate them for a while. <a href="/commentaries/john/14-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Peace Εἰρήνην (Eirēnēn) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1515.htm">Strong's 1515: </a> Probably from a primary verb eiro; peace; by implication, prosperity.
