Luke 10:4-11

4Don’t carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don’t stop to greet anyone on the way.

5Whenever you go into a house, greet the family right away with the words, ‘May there be peace in this house.’

6If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting will be accepted. But if that’s not the case, your greeting will be rejected.

7Stay with the family that accepts you. Eat and drink whatever they offer you. After all, the worker deserves his pay. Do not move around from one house to another.

8Whenever you go into a city and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve you.

9Heal the sick that are there, and tell the people, ‘God’s kingdom is near you!’

10“But whenever you go into a city and people don’t welcome you, leave. Announce in its streets,

11‘We are wiping your city’s dust from our feet in protest against you! But realize that God’s kingdom is near you!’
