Commentary on Luke 10:8

Theological / Devotional

Such things. The disciples were not to be greedy, asking for food their host did not provide; or fastidious, declining to eat what he did provide. Jesus’ admonition here given to the Seventy is sometimes construed as permission for Christians today to eat whatever may be provided by a host, even though it be food specifically forbidden in the Scriptures. It should be remembered, however, that the Seventy did not enter Gentile homes, where forbidden food would be served, but only the homes of Jews and Samaritans, both of which held rigorously to the provisions of the Pentateuch with respect to clean and unclean foods (see on Lev. 11).
