20:19 meeting behind locked doors: The disciples feared prosecution for following Jesus. • Peace be with you: This was a standard Jewish greeting (see also 3 Jn 1:15), but Jesus was doing more than just greeting his disciples: he was offering the Messiah’s peace (see Isa 9:6; 52:7) and delivering the gift of his Kingdom (see John 14:27; 16:33).
