LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 9:5 wherever they do not receive you. “Receive” is used elsewhere with respect to welcoming and receiving God’s word (Luke 8:13), Jesus (Luke 9:48, Luke 9:53), Jesus’ followers (vv. Luke 9:5, Luke 9:48), and the kingdom of God (Luke 18:17). shake off the dust from your feet (compare Luke 10:11; see notes on Matt. 10:14; Mark 6:11). This visibly illustrates the future judgment of those who reject Christ’s messengers (Luke 10:11).
