Context of Luke 10:5
3Go! I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4Don’t carry a wallet, a traveling bag, or sandals, and don’t stop to greet anyone on the way. Whenever 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.
