Context of Luke 10:6

4Carry neither purse nor scrip nor sandals, and salute no one on the way. 5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not it shall turn to you again. 7And in the same house abide, eating and drinking such things as they have; for the workman is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. 8And into whatsoever city ye may enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
