Luke 10:4-7

New Living Translation

⁴Don’t take any money with you, nor a traveler’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road.

⁵“Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’ ⁶If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. ⁷Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay.

⁴Do not carry a money belt, a provision bag, or [extra] sandals; and do not ^[a]greet anyone along the way [who would delay you]. ⁵Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘^[b]Peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God] to this house.’ ⁶And if anyone of peace is there [someone who is sweet-spirited and hospitable], your [blessing of] peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. ⁷Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not move from house to house.^(A)
