Contextual Overview

1And after these things, the LORD also appointed seventy others, and sent them by twos before His face, to every city and place to where He Himself was about to come, 2then He said to them, "The harvest [is] indeed abundant, but the workmen few; implore then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest. 3Go away; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves; 4carry no bag, no leather pouch, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way; 5and into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this house; 6and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, your peace will rest on it; and if not so, it will turn back on you. 7And remain in that house, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; do not go from house to house, 8and into whatever city you enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,9and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come near to you. 10And into whatever city you enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

Micah 5:6
And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, || And the land of Nimrod at its openings, || And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, || And when he treads in our borders.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And into whatsoever city ye enter,.... Into whatsoever house in it ye go, and apply to for lodging and entertainment,

and they receive you, readily and cheerfully,

eat such things as are set before you; though ever so mean, accept of them, and do not object to them on that account, lest it should be thought you serve your own bellies, and seek to gratify your appetites; nor, on the other hand, do not think anything too good for you, or that you are burdensome and chargeable, but eat as if it were your own; nor ask questions about the cleanness and uncleanness of it, or whether it has been tithed or not; but feed upon it without any scruple.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
