JOHN 20:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.”
Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you' — the repeated blessing intensifies the gift; Jesus establishes the disciples' apostolic mission on the pattern of his own incarnational sending (apostellō). The comparison 'as...so' (kathos...kai) indicates not mere imitation but the identical quality of missional participation. The disciples are now constituted as sent ones in the world, continuing Jesus' reconciling work.
