Catena Aurea by Aquinas (397)

(in Luc. 9:5.) The Apostles are not to choose carelessly the house into which they enter, that they may have no cause for changing their lodging; the same caution is not enforced upon the entertainer, lest in choosing his guests, his hospitality should be diminished. When ye enter a house, salute it, saying, Peace be to this house.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter - In the commencement of Christianity, Christ and his preachers were all itinerant. Inquire who in it is worthy - That is, of a good character; for a preacher of the Gospel should be careful of his reputation, and lodge only with those who are of a regular life. There abide till ye go thence - Go not about from house to house, Luk 10:7. Acting contrary to this precept has often brought a great disgrace on the Gospel of God.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew (1856)

This chapter is one of peculiar solemnity. Here is the record of the first ordination which ever took place in the Church of Christ. The Lord Jesus chooses and sends forth the twelve apostles. Here is an account of the first charge ever delivered to newly ordained Christian ministers. The Lord Jesus himself delivers it. Never was there so important an ordination! Never was there so solemn a charge! There are three lessons which stand out prominently on the face of the first fifteen verses of this chapter. Let us take them in order.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

And into whatsoever city or town--town or village. ye shall enter inquire--carefully. who in it is worthy--or "meet" to entertain such messengers; not in point of rank, of course, but of congenial disposition. and there abide till ye go thence--not shifting about, as if discontented, but returning the welcome given with a courteous, contented, accommodating disposition.
