John 14:27King James Version (KJV)
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
In the verse above, we see Jesus Christ consoling His disciples as He is about to leave them. The disciples are troubled... troubled because they had found courage, comfort, and happiness in the time shared with Jesus Christ. They could not imagine how to continue keeping the faith while Jesus Christ was gone. So they had to question him so much in order to clear their worries. Jesus, being the son of the Almighty God already knew what His disciples were going through from the moment they knew he was going to live their side. So he said unto them " Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." This peace was all the the disciples needed at the moment to move on and it came to them through the Holy Spirit. From then hence, they had the Grace and power to evangelize fearlessly to all the clans and nations they could reach.
