AUV(i)
4 Do not carry a money belt, or a traveling bag [for personal belongings] or shoes; and do not extend [elaborate] greetings to anyone along the way.
5 And whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Let peace be upon this household.’
6 And if a son of peace is there [i.e., a peace-loving person], your [request for] peace will rest upon him. But if he is not [a peace-loving person], your [blessing of] peace will return to [rest on] you.
7 And you should remain in that same house [i.e., the peace-loving one], eating and drinking whatever they serve you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move from house to house [i.e., wasting time].
8 And into whatever town you enter and are welcomed, eat whatever is placed in front of you,
9 and heal the sick people who live there. Say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
10 But whatever town you enter that does not welcome you, go out into its streets and say [to them],
11 ‘We are wiping off even the dust of your city that has stuck to our feet [in protest] against you. Yet you should know this, that the kingdom of God has come near [to you].’
12 I tell you, the people of Sodom will be shown more leniency on that day [i.e., the day of judgment] than that town will receive.
