I send you forth as lambs, &c. As so many defenceless lambs, in the midst of ravenous and cruel wolves. Carry neither purse nor scrip, &c. See notes on Matthew 10:9-10; Matthew 10:16. Salute no man by the way Let not matters of mere compliment detain you, but make all the haste you possibly can. The salutations usual among the Jews took up much time. But these had so much work to do in so short a space, that they had not a moment to spare.
