7And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
8and he charged them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, now money in their purse;
9but [to go] shod with sandals: and, [said he], put not on two coats.
10And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence.
11And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them.
12And they went out, and preached that [men] should repent.
13And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And he said unto them, etc..] He continued giving orders and directions to them, saying, in what place soever you enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place: that is, in whatsoever city or town they should come to, the first house they went into, they should continue in, during their stay in that city or town, and not shift from house to house; (see Gill on “<401011>Matthew 10:11”).”

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“See these verses fully explained in the notes at Matthew 10:9-15. In Matthew 10:5 they were commanded not to go among the Gentiles or Samaritans. Mark omits that direction, perhaps, because he was writing for the “Gentiles,” and the direction might create unnecessary difficulty or offence. Perhaps he omits it also because the command was given for a temporary purpose, and was not in force at the time of his writing. return to 'Top of Page'”
