Before concluding, the reassuring statement is added that: In all such troubles you are to have the less hesitation in claiming to be entertained and supported by believers; the holier the deeds and the greater (in the Messianic kingdom) the reward of those will prove to be who so receive and maintain you. Euth. Zigabenus appropriately observes:

εἶπεν
ἀνοίγων
τοῖς
μαθηταῖς
τὰς
οἰκίας
τῶν
πιστευόντων
