“And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.”
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near — the allusion to Isaiah 57:19 ('peace to the far and near') applies to Christ's gospel proclamation: euangelizō eirēnēn ('preached peace') to Gentiles and Jews alike, universalizing the promise.
