[14] The term "poor in spirit" is unique to ...
Christians identify Jesus with the Prince of Peace, described in Isaiah 9 [14] —bringing peace to the hearts of those who desire it. In John 14:27 he says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". [15]
