Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.
Christ orders them to seek out the godly and upright in each city, those who fear God and are ready to learn, so the apostles can labor where hope is highest. Staying in one house until they depart to the next city ensures they move swiftly from place to place, not lingering or burdening any household.
AI summary
The apostles must not go to the Gentiles or Samaritans because Christ Himself had not revealed Himself to them. The Jews must have first offer of salvation; if they refuse it, Christ hides Himself from that place. This restraint was only for their first mission; afterwards all nations were to receive the gospel.
