Luke 10:4

Do not carry ¹  a money bag, ²  a traveler’s bag, ³  or sandals, and greet no one on the road. ⁴ 

Ge 24:33,56; 1Sa 21:8; 2Ki 4:24,29; Pr 4:25; Mt 10:9,10; Mr 6:8,9; Lu 9:3-6; Lu 9:59,60; Lu 22:35

¹ sn On the command Do not carry see Luke 9:3. The travel instructions communicate a note of urgency and stand in contrast to philosophical teachers, who often took a bag. There is no ostentation in this ministry.

² tn Traditionally, “a purse.”

³ tn Or possibly “a beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

⁴ tn Or “no one along the way.”
