Peace be to this house - See on Matthew 10:12 (note).

And into whatsoever house ye enter,.... When ye come into any city, town, or village,
first say, peace be to this house: salute the inhabitants in the usual form, saying, peace be to you; wishing them all happiness and prosperity, temporal, spiritual, and eternal. This shows our Lord did not disapprove of civil salutations.
