ISB ~ Luke 10 v4

no purse … bag … sandals:The disciples must travel light and unencumbered. Traditional hospitality, orchestrated by God’s providence, will supply their daily needs.

salute no one:The urgency of the mission allows for no distractions or delays, especially since customary greetings could be quite elaborate.

• Elisha gave similar instructions when sending his servant on a pressing mission (2 Kings 4:29).
