Matthew 10:11-15
New King James Version
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 (B)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. (C)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 (D)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, (E)shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (F)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

The Message
11 “When you enter a town or village, don’t insist on staying in a luxury inn. Get a modest place with some modest people, and be content there until you leave.
12-15 “When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don’t welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. You can be sure that on Judgment Day they’ll be mighty sorry—but it’s no concern of yours now.
