Luke 10:11

11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.'

Luke 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:11

Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us
The Syriac version adds, "to our feet"; and so in Beza's most ancient copy, and the Arabic and Persic versions read, "which cleaves to our feet"; which agrees with ( Matthew 10:14 ) ( Mark 6:11 ) .

we do wipe against you:
for a testimony against them, that they had been with them, and were rejected by them; (See Gill on Matthew 10:14) (See Gill on Mark 6:11)

notwithstanding be ye sure of this;
they might assure themselves of this, and which will be an aggravation of their guilt, and increase their punishment another day:

that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you;
was at their very doors, since the ministers of it, of the Gospel dispensation, the harbingers of the Messiah, who were sent to publish his Gospel, to proclaim him as king, and de clare that his kingdom was at hand, had been with them, and they had despised them.

Luke 10:11 In-Context

9 Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10 But into whatever city you enter, and they don't receive you, go out into the streets of it and say,

11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.'

12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sedom than for that city.

13 "Woe to you, Kora'zin! Woe to you, Beit-Tzaidah! For if the mighty works had been done in Tzor and Tzidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
