King James Version (KJV)


“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”

20:21 Peace be unto you - This is the foundation of the mission of a true Gospel minister, peace in his own soul, #2Cor 4:1|. As the Father hath sent me, so send I you - Christ was the apostle of the Father, #Heb 3:1|. Peter and the rest, the apostles of Christ.
Joh 20:21 Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. This is the Great Commission, more fully developed in Galilee a little later (Mt 28:16-20), and finally completed on Mt. Olivet (Ac 1:4-9), just before the Lord ascended. The Lord had trained the apostles for three years in order to fit them for this important work.
Then said Iesus to them againe, Peace be vnto you: As my Father hath sent me, euen so send I you.
