Luke 10:10-11

[10] But  into  whatsoever  city  ye enter,  and  they receive  not,  go your ways out  into  the streets  of the same,  and say,  [11] Even  the very dust  of  city,  which  cleaveth  we do wipe off  notwithstanding  be ye sure  that  the kingdom  of God  is come nigh 

What does Luke 10:10-11 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The Seventy were to declare publicly two things to the towns (i.e, the people of the towns) that rejected them and their message. They were to pronounce a symbolic rejection for unbelief (cf. Luke 9:5; Matthew 10:14; Mark 6:11), and they were to remind the rejecters of the reality of the kingdom offer that they had spurned. This second action was a virtual sentence of judgment.
