Luke 10:4-11
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) Don't take along a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals. And don't waste time greeting people on the road.[a] 5 As soon as you enter a home, say, “God bless this home with peace.” 6 If the people living there are peace-loving, your prayer for peace will bless them. But if they are not peace-loving, your prayer will return to you. 7 (B) Stay with the same family, eating and drinking whatever they give you, because workers are worth what they earn. Don't move around from house to house.
8 If the people of a town welcome you, eat whatever they offer. 9 Heal their sick and say, “God's kingdom will soon be here!”[b]
10 (C) But if the people of a town refuse to welcome you, go out into the street and say, 11 “We are shaking the dust from our feet[c] as a warning to you. And you can be sure that God's kingdom will soon be here!”[d]

Luke 10:4-11
New International Version
4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages.(A) Do not move around from house to house.
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.(B) 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God(C) has come near to you.’ 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you.(D) Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’(E)
