Context of Luke 10:7
5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ 6If a person of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they offer, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Don’t move from house to house. 8When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you. 9Heal the sick who are there, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near you.’
