5And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
6And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.
7And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,
11Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh.

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And into whatsoever city ye enter, etc.] Into whatsoever house in it ye go, and apply to for lodging and entertainment, and they receive you, readily and cheerfully, eat such things as are set before you; though ever so mean, accept of them, and do not object to them on that account, lest it should be thought you serve your own bellies, and seek to gratify your appetites; nor, on the other hand, do not think anything too good for you, or that you are burdensome and chargeable, but eat as if it were your own; nor ask questions about the cleanness and uncleanness of it, or whether it has been tithed or not; but feed upon it without any scruple.”
