Passages:

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… and he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6:

“It was almost time for the Passover Festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. There in the Temple, he found people selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons, and also the moneychangers sitting at their tables.  So he made a whip from cords and drove all the animals out of the Temple, both the sheep and the cattle; he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins; and he ordered those who sold the pigeons, “Take them out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace! His disciples remembered that the scripture says, “My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire.”
John 2:13-17

“His purpose in this was, by restoring peace, to create a single New Man out of the two of them, and through the cross, to reconcile them both to God in one Body; in his own person, he killed the hostility. He came to bring the good news of peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.”
Eph 2:15b-17

“Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children!”
Matthew 5:9
