Compare all
15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one anew man from the two, thus making peace,  
16 and that He might areconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bputting to death the enmity.  
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
18 For athrough Him we both have access bby one Spirit to the Father.

Ephesians 2:17

Translate, "He came and announced glad tidings of peace." "He came" of His own free love, and "announced peace" with His own mouth to the apostles (Luke 24:36; John 20:19, John 20:21, John 20:26); and by them to others, through His Spirit present in His Church (John 14:18). Acts 26:23 is strictly parallel; after His resurrection "He showed light to the people ('them that were nigh') and to the Gentiles ('you that were afar off')," by His Spirit in His ministers (compare I Peter 3:19).

and to them—The oldest manuscripts insert "peace" again: "And peace to them." The repetition implies the joy with which both alike would dwell again and again upon the welcome word "peace." So Isaiah 57:19.
