| Summary: | “Peace with you” in John 20 is widely understood as a Jewish greeting. But the context surrounding the Johannine peace salutation seems to suggest that it may have been meant to serve functions other than a greeting.

Translation solutions are proposed for the different contexts in which the phrase occurs in John. |
