12When you go into the house, say to the people there, “We pray that you will be well.”
Matthew 10:12 in other versions
Context of Matthew 10:12
10Do not take a bag with you, or extra clothes. Do not take extra shoes or a stick. You are working to help people. So people should give you what you need to live. 11When you arrive in a town or a village, look for a good person there. Continue to stay in that person's house until you leave there. When you go into the house, say to the people there, “We pray that you will be well.” 13If the people of that house accept you, then everyone in the house will be well. But if they do not accept you, then take back your kind words. 14Sometimes you will go to some house or town and the people will not accept you there. They will not listen to your message. Then you should leave. Clean the dirt of that place off your feet.
