Context of Luke 10:7
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. Stay in the same house there until you leave that town. Accept the food and drink that the people in the house give to you. You are working to help them. So they should give you what you need to live. Do not visit different houses to get food. 8The people may accept you well when you go into a town. Then eat the food that those people give to you. 9Make the sick people well who are there. Give this message to all the people there: “The kingdom of God has now come near to you.”
