2. Read verse 4. How should they behave? What timeless principles can we find here? Read verses 5-7. What gift do they bring to the home they enter? In what sense must all Christians be peacemakers? Why not move around?

3. Read verses 8-12. What must disciples do in a town that welcomes them? What is their main message? (Mk 1:15) Why? (1Pe 1:3,4) How did Jesus teach them not to compromise? Why is the message of the kingdom good news for some and bad news for others?

4. Read verses 13-16. What were the cities over which Jesus lamented? Why was he so sorrowful? Why should servants of God not be dismayed when rejected?
