Context of Matthew 10:12

10Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a staff, for the worker is worthy of his food. 11When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy, and stay there until you leave. Greet a household when you enter it, 13and if the household is worthy, let your peace be on it; but if it is unworthy, let your peace return to you. 14If anyone does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that house or town.
