And whatsoever house ye enter into, etc.] In any town, or city, they should come to in their journey through Judea, and should enter into for the sake of lodging, during their stay: there abide; do not shift quarters, or move from house to house: and thence depart; the house you come into first, go out of last, when ye leave the town or city. The Vulgate Latin and Persic versions read, and thence do not depart: and so Beza says it is read in a certain copy, but then the sense is the same, as the Ethiopic version renders it, “do not go out from thence, until ye depart”; that is, do not leave the house, till you depart out of the town or city; agreeably to which is the Arabic version, “remain in it until the time of your going out”; (See Gill on “<401011>Matthew 10:11”).
