Luke 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:10

But into whatsoever city ye enter
On the other hand Christ here directs how to behave towards other cities they should come to, and be rejected:

and they receive you not;
refuse to admit them into their houses, or provide in any shape for them, nor hear their message:

go your ways out into the streets of the same.
The Ethiopic version reads, "cast the dust off your feet into the streets of it: and say"; aloud, in the most public manner, in the ears of all the people, as follows.

Luke 10:10 In-Context

9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 "But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 'Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'
12 "I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
