Mark 6:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:10

And he said unto them
He continued giving orders and directions to them, saying,

in what place soever you enter into an house, there abide till ye
depart from that place:
that is, in whatsoever city or town they should come to, the first house they went into, they should continue in, during their stay in that city or town, and not shift from house to house; (See Gill on Matthew 10:11).

Mark 6:10 In-Context

9 but to wear sandals; and He added, "Do not put on two tunics."
10 And He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.
11 "Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."
12 They went out and preached that men should repent.
