Matthew 10:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 10:12

10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; ^afor a worker is worthy of his food.

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!
