Matthew 10:13

11 ^a“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.

12 And when you go into a household, greet it.

13 ^aIf the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. ^bBut if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 ^aAnd whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, ^bshake off the dust from your feet.

15 Assuredly, I say to you, ^ait will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Matthew 10:13

If that house be worthy - If that family be proper for a preacher to lodge in, and the master be ready to embrace the message of salvation.

Your peace - The blessings you have prayed for shall come upon the family: God will prosper them in their bodies, souls, and substance.

But if it be not worthy - As above explained.

Let your peace - The blessings prayed for, return to you. Ϛ , it shall turn back upon yourselves. They shall get nothing, and you shall have an increase.

The trials, disappointments, insults, and wants of the followers of Christ become, in the hand of the all-wise God, subservient to their best interests: hence, nothing can happen to them without their deriving profit from it, unless it be their own fault.
