Matthew 10:11 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Inquire who in it is worthy— Anciently they had no houses of entertainment for the accommodation of travellers, but only houses for lodging them, called in modern language caravanseras, into which travellers brought their own provisions and accommodated themselves in the best manner they could; but it was common for persons of humane dispositions, such as our Lord here calls αξιοι, worthy persons, to entertain strangers according to their ability. See Judges 19:15; Judges 19:21.

Matthew 10:11

11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
