As you enter the home This phrase reflects the practice of hospitality in the ancient Near East, where welcoming travelers was a common custom. Homes were often simple structures, and entering a home signified a willingness to engage in fellowship and share in the life of the household. This instruction is part of Jesus' sending out of the Twelve Apostles, emphasizing the importance of personal interaction and the spreading of the Gospel through direct contact.
