And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.

6

And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.

11

Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.
