Lukas 10:7

Listen to Lukas 10:7
7 In dem Hause aber bleibet, esset und trinket, was sie haben; denn ein Arbeiter ist seines Lohnes wert. Ihr sollt nicht von einem Hause zum anderen gehen.

Lukas 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:7

And in the same house remain
Where the sons of peace are, and the peace rests, and into which you are invited, and kindly received and used:

eating and drinking such things as they give;
or rather, "such things as are with them", as the Vulgate Latin renders it; or "of that which is theirs", as the Syriac version; all one, and with as much freedom, as if they were your own; the reason follows,

for the labourer is worthy of his hire;
what you eat and drink is your due; what you ought to have; your diet is a debt, and not a gratuity; (See Gill on Matthew 10:10)

go not from house to house;
as if fickle and inconstant, as if not satisfied with your lodging and entertainment, and as seeking out for other and better, or as if burdensome where they were; (See Gill on Matthew 10:11). The Jews have a proverb, expressing the inconvenience and expensiveness, and the danger of moving from place to place:

``he that goes, (tybl tybm) , "from house to house", (loses his) shirt, (i.e. comes to distress and poverty,) from place to place (his) life F5;''

or he is in great danger of losing his life.

Lukas 10:7 In-Context

5 Wo ihr in ein Haus kommt, da sprecht zuerst: Friede sei in diesem Hause!
6 Und so daselbst wird ein Kind des Friedens sein, so wird euer Friede auf ihm beruhen; wo aber nicht, so wird sich euer Friede wieder zu euch wenden.
7 In dem Hause aber bleibet, esset und trinket, was sie haben; denn ein Arbeiter ist seines Lohnes wert. Ihr sollt nicht von einem Hause zum anderen gehen.
8 Und wo ihr in eine Stadt kommt und sie euch aufnehmen, da esset, was euch wird vorgetragen;
9 und heilet die Kranken, die daselbst sind, und saget ihnen: Das Reich Gottes ist nahe zu euch gekommen.
