Engage the Text:

• Notice Jesus’ gift of peace throughout this passage. How might the peace of God go hand in hand with the mission of God?
• In verse 22 it says that Jesus “breathed on them” and gifted them with the Holy Spirit. Where else in Scripture does the Holy Spirit accompany the mission of God? Think both Old and New Testament.
