The "peace" being referred to is His Spirit/Comforter which was promised under the New Covenant. The Spirit is likened to a "dove", which is a symbol of "peace".
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 14:27
They didn't quite understand Him while He was alive, but understood more after His death.
When Jesus speaks, you must search out
why He says what He says. For instance, in
John 14:1, Jesus says, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."
He isn't making a division here because, in verse 9 He is responding to Phillip, "...he that has
seen/clearly discerned me, has
seen/clearly discerned the father...
John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."
If they didn't quite understand
Isaiah 9:6, they would later on the Day of Pentecost.
Jesus says in
John 14:16, "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter..."
Again, no division here as we read
John 15:26, "But when the Comforter is come, whom
I will send unto you..."
He is our peace, our Comforter/Advocate/Counselor, our Father, our God, our Saviour.
If He "hung the earth upon nothing"
Job 26:7, why would it be hard to understand that He can be all in all?
