If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. And if that house, and so forth that is if it be worthy to receive your peace. In Saint Luke (Calmet. 10, verse 6) it is written, And if the son of peace be there: that is, a lover of peace, or one worthy of peace and prosperity. Thus a son of death means one deserving of death. Menochius.—Your peace shall come upon it. If men will not hearken to your instructions, you have this comfort and peace of mind, that you have discharged your duty. Witham.
