Matthew 10:14
Compare all
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!  

Persecutions Are Coming

16 a“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. bTherefore be wise as serpents and charmless as doves.  
17 But beware of men, for athey will deliver you up to councils and bscourge you in their synagogues.

Matthew 10:14

Shake off the dust from your feet - The Jews thought the land of Israel so peculiarly holy, that when they came home from any heathen country, they stopped at the borders and shook or wiped off the dust of it from their feet, that the holy land might not be polluted with it. Therefore the action here enjoined was a lively intimation, that those Jews who had rejected the Gospel were holy no longer, but were on a level with heathens and idolaters.
