Luke 10:5
Douay-Rheims
Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. 35. in Matt.) Peace is the mother of all good things, without it all other things are vain. Our Lord therefore commanded His disciples on entering a house first to pronounce peace as a sign of good things, saying, Into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
