Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 10:13

_ _ And if the house be worthy — showing this by giving you a welcome.

_ _ let your peace come upon it — This is best explained by the injunction to the Seventy, “And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house” (Luke 10:5). This was the ancient salutation of the East, and it prevails to this day. But from the lips of Christ and His messengers, it means something far higher, both in the gift and the giving of it, than in the current salutation. (See on John 14:27).

_ _ but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you — If your peace finds a shut, instead of an open, door in the heart of any household, take it back to yourselves, who know how to value it; and it will taste the sweeter to you for having been offered, even though rejected.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 10:5-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 10:13

If the house be worthy — of it, God shall give them the peace you wish them. If not, he shall give you what they refuse. The same will be the case, when we pray for them that are not worthy.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 10:13

And if the house be worthy, let your (e) peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

(e) It is an idiom taken from the Hebrews, by which they meant every type of happiness.
