8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you.
8 "When you enter a town and are received, eat what they set before you,
8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.
8 "If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 10:8
Commentary on Luke 10:1-16
(Read Luke 10:1-16)
Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they might strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel calls men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them, will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.
