Commentary on Matthew 10:14

Theological / Devotional

Shake off the dust. Where the disciples encountered an unfriendly reception they were to waste no time, but hasten on to find those who would receive them gladly. This act upon departure from a home or a town was intended to be, not an act of rudeness, but of solemn protest. By shaking the dust from their feet the disciples were simply saying to the people, “You must simply accept responsibility for your decision.”
