To "shake off dust from one's feet against a city or person" implied a solemn refusal to take anything away, even the very dust of their ground, but to leave it to witness against them (Mark 6:11); shaking off all connection with them, and all responsibility for their guilt and consequent punishment for rejecting the gospel.
