Luke 10:5

5 in quamcumque domum intraveritis primum dicite pax huic domui

Luke 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 10:5

And into whatsoever house ye enter
When ye come into any city, town, or village,

first say, peace be to this house:
salute the inhabitants in the usual form, saying, peace be to you; wishing them all happiness and prosperity, temporal, spiritual, and eternal. This shows our Lord did not disapprove of civil salutations.

Luke 10:5 In-Context

3 ite ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos

4 nolite portare sacculum neque peram neque calciamenta et neminem per viam salutaveritis

5 in quamcumque domum intraveritis primum dicite pax huic domui

6 et si ibi fuerit filius pacis requiescet super illam pax vestra sin autem ad vos revertetur

7 in eadem autem domo manete edentes et bibentes quae apud illos sunt dignus enim est operarius mercede sua nolite transire de domo in domum
