- 6:10–11 Remaining in the same house as a guest (Mk 6:10) rather than moving to another offering greater comfort avoided any impression of seeking advantage for oneself and prevented dishonor to one’s host. Shaking the dust off one’s feet served as testimony against those who rejected the call to repentance.

5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’[a] 6 If a peaceful person[b] lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.(A) 8 Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,(B) 9 cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’(C) 10 Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say,(D) 11 ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.(E) 12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.(F)
