Luke 9:4 And whatever house you enter into, there abide, and there depart. When travelling in the East no one need ever scruple to go into the best house of any Arab village to which he comes, and he will always be received with profuse and gratuitous hospitality. From the moment we entered any house it was regarded as our own. There is not an Arab you meet who will not empty for you the last drop in his water-skin, or share with you his last piece of black bread. The Rabbis said that paradise was the reward of willing hospitality. (Schottgen.) Parallel Verses KJV: And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.WEB: Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. |
