Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 10:11

"And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth." — Matthew 10:11 (ASV)

Seek out people fit to be associated with you in holy service. Whatever their circumstances may be, regard chiefly their character. For the best work, seek out the best people.

Do not compromise your Master by lodging with persons of evil repute. But do not shift your accommodations or run from one to another, so that you do not seem like mere beggars, begging from door to door. Keep to those good people with whom your mission begins. It may be that richer people will appear, but never forget the worthy men and women who first hosted you.

Wise rules, these. This is not the method to be followed among unbelievers, where none can be called “worthy.” There we seek the sinful and feel ourselves sent to the most degraded.
