Luke 10:7-8

10:7 Stay ¹  in that same house, eating and drinking what they give you, ²  for the worker deserves his pay. ³  Do not move around from house to house. 10:8 Whenever ⁴  you enter a town ⁵  and the people ⁶  welcome you, eat what is set before you.

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

² tn Grk “eating and drinking the things from them” (an idiom for what the people in the house provide the guests).

³ sn On the phrase the worker deserves his pay see 1 Tim 5:18 and 1 Cor 9:14.

⁴ tn Grk “And whatever town you enter,” but this is more often expressed in English as “whenever you enter a town.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn Or “city.” Jesus now speaks of the town as a whole, as he will in vv. 10-12.

⁶ tn Grk “and they”; the referent (the people who live in the town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
