King James Version
4 I sought the Lord,
and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
What could be better than peace, from all our fears?
Who could give us the peace we seek?
What gives lasting peace?
Only JESUS, the PRINCE of PEACE, can give us peace.
Scripture testifies of it.

The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
Here's what the LORD told us:

for your heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.

30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.

Peace, be still.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth;
It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart,
I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me:
for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I,
that he shall take of mine,
and shall shew it unto you.

that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said,
he shewed unto them his hands and his side.
Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord.

Peace be unto you:
as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.

he breathed on them,
and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
