“And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.”
If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you — the person of peace (hyios eirēnēs, son of peace) is the receptive person within the household who will receive the kingdom's welcome. If no such person is there, the peace returns — it is not wasted but comes back. The kingdom's welcome is personal and responsive, not mechanical.
