{My peace} (eir(886e)(886e) t(886e) em(886e)). 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  2Jo 1:3  3Jo 1:14 , but here
and in  16:33  in the sense of spiritual peace such as only
Christ can give and which his Incarnation offers to men ( Lu
2:14 ). {Neither let it be fearful} (med(8820)deiliat(935c)). Added to
the prohibition in verse  1 , only N.T. example of deilia(935c)
(rare word in Aristotle, in a papyrus of one condemned to death),
common in LXX, like palpitating of the heart (from deilos).
