Luke 10:4, Greet no one.<\/i><\/b> The orientals of Yeshua\u2019s day would engage in salutations that to us would seem complicated, tedious and time-consuming. Such greetings would involve the asking of many questions about one\u2019s personal life, family and business. This is why Yeshua instructed his disciples whom he had sent out to preach the gospel to greet no one along the way. For them to involve themselves in such lengthy customs would have sidetracked them from the all important mission (Manners and Customs<\/i>, p. 274). Yeshua isn\u2019t prohibiting here a simple common courtesy of a quick verbal greeting as one is passing by another.<\/p>\n
