Lucas 10:11

11 "Hasta el polvo de vuestra ciudad que se pega a nuestros pies, nos lo sacudimos en protesta contra vosotros; empero sabed esto: que el reino de Dios se ha acercado."

Lucas 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.

Lucas 10:11 In-Context

9 sanad a los enfermos que haya en ella, y decidles: "Se ha acercado a vosotros el reino de Dios."
10 Pero en cualquier ciudad donde entréis, y no os reciban, salid a sus calles, y decid:
11 "Hasta el polvo de vuestra ciudad que se pega a nuestros pies, nos lo sacudimos en protesta contra vosotros; empero sabed esto: que el reino de Dios se ha acercado."
12 Os digo que en aquel día será más tolerable el castigo para Sodoma que para aquella ciudad.
13 ¡Ay de ti Corazín! ¡Ay de ti Betsaida! Porque si los milagros que se hicieron en vosotras hubieran sido hechos en Tiro y Sidón, hace tiempo que se hubieran arrepentido sentados en cilicio y ceniza.
