Matthew 10:14

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

And {G2532} whosoever {G3739} shall {G1209} not {G3362} receive {G1209} you {G5209}, nor {G3366} hear {G191} your {G5216} words {G3056}, when ye depart out {G1831} of that {G1565} house {G3614} or {G2228} city {G4172}, shake off {G1621} the dust {G2868} of your {G5216} feet {G4228}.

But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!

And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
