Context of Luke 10:4

2Before they went, he said to them, ‘Many people are ready to believe God's message. They are like crops in a field at harvest time. But there are very few workers to bring in the crops. So pray to God to send out workers. The field and the plants belong to him.’ 3Jesus then said, ‘I am sending you out, so go! But listen! You will be like young sheep among wild animals. Do not carry a purse or a bag. Do not take extra shoes. When you meet other people on the road, do not stop to say “hello”. 5In each town, when you go into a house, first say to the people who live there, “We pray that all will be well with you!” 6Someone in the house may accept what you say. If they do, God will bless them. But if nobody accepts your kind words, God will bless you instead of them.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4Purse … scrip … shoes - See the notes at Matthew 10:10. Salute no man by the way - Salutations among the Orientals did not consist, as among us, of a slight bow or an extension of the hand, but was performed by many embraces and inclinations, and even prostrations of the body on the ground. All this required much “time;” and as the business on which the seventy were sent was urgent, they were required not to “delay” their journey by long and formal…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4Carry no purse: Compare 9:3. The disciples of Jesus were to depend on God and on the help of those whom they served. Do not greet anyone along the road: This did not mean being unfriendly, but remaining focused on the task Jesus had given them.Read the comment
