Luke 10:5

10:5 Whenever 1  you enter a house, 2  first say, ‘May peace 3  be on this house!’

Luke 10:7

10:7 Stay 4  in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, 5  for the worker deserves his pay. 6  Do not move around from house to house.

1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

3 sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.

4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

5 tn Grk “eating and drinking the things from them” (an idiom for what the people in the house provide the guests).

6 sn On the phrase the worker deserves his pay see 1 Tim 5:18 and 1 Cor 9:14.
