if they should not receive you, nor mind your instructions: when ye depart out of that house, or city, shake off the pagan dust from your feet.

wherever they shall refuse to entertain you, or to hear you, at your departure shake off the dust of your feet, as a testimonial against them. I assure you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall be treated with less severity in the day of judgment, than that city.

if any refuse to entertain you, when you leave that city, shake off the dust from your feet, as a sign of their being abandon'd.

and cry, "we shake off the dust, that sticks to our feet, against you: but take notice, the kingdom of God has been near you."

so they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to Iconium.

thus they roar'd, and threw off their cloaks, and scatter'd dust in the air:

nay, but, O man, who art thou, to raise a dust against heaven? shall the pitcher say to him that formed it, "why hast thou made me thus?"

the first man was formed from the dust of the earth: the second man was from heaven.

they will scatter dust on their heads, and cry with tears, and bemoaning, "alas, alas, that great city, which enrich'd all the traders by sea, by the consumption she made: how is she reduc'd to a desert, in an instant!"
