Bible Comments

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. Carry neither purse nor scrip - See on Matthew 10:9 (note), etc., and Mark 6:8 (note), etc.

Salute no man by the way - According to a canon of the Jews, a man who was about any sacred work was exempted from all civil obligations for the time; forasmuch as obedience to God was of infinitely greater consequence than the cultivation of private friendships, or the returning of civil compliments.

Luke 10:4

4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
