Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 10:7

"And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house." — Luke 10:7 (ASV)

Like the Twelve (9:4), the seventy-two are to remain with their original hosts. As the Lord’s servants, they are deserving of support by the Lord’s people (see 1 Corinthians 9:3–18; 1 Timothy 5:18; 3 Jn 5–8).
