Greeting: Salām Aleikum

Jesus used to greet his disciples thus... 

(KJV) John 20: 19 
Then the same day at evening, being the first {day} of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace {be} unto you.

(KJV) John 20: 21 
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace {be} unto you: as {my} Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

(KJV) John 20: 26 
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: {then} came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace {be} unto you.

Muslims greet each other with a salutation: "Salām Aleikum" which translates Peace be upon you.  The response he or she receives is "Wa Aleikum Salām" which translates And, Peace be upon you (too).
