5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.'
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
5 Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!'
5 "When you enter a home, greet the family, 'Peace.'
5 But whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.'
5 "Whenever you enter someone's home, first say, 'May God's peace be on this house.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 10:5
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.
