Luke 9:5

9:5 Wherever ¹  they do not receive you, ²  as you leave that town, ³  shake the dust off ⁴  your feet as a testimony against them.”

Luke 10:39

10:39 She ⁵  had a sister named Mary, who sat ⁶  at the Lord’s feet ⁷  and listened to what he said.

¹ tn Grk “And wherever.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “all those who do not receive you.”

³ tn Or “city.”

⁴ sn To shake the dust off represented shaking off the uncleanness from one’s feet; see Luke 10:11; Acts 13:51; 18:6. It was a sign of rejection.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ tn This reflexive makes it clear that Mary took the initiative in sitting by Jesus.

⁷ sn The description of Mary sitting at the Lord’s feet and listening to him makes her sound like a disciple (compare Luke 8:35).
