Context of Luke 10:8

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. 7Stay 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. The 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.

You should then go into the streets of that town and you should say to the people,
