And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. The peace that is given to the worthy house rests on it; the peace that is not received returns to the giver. The peace of the kingdom is not diminished by being rejected — it returns intact to the disciples who offered it. The worthy house that receives the disciples' peace becomes a site of the kingdom's presence; the unworthy house that refuses it forfeits the peace that was offered.
