This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
4. μὴ … βαλλάντιον. Compare Luk 9:1-6, and notes; Mat 10:1-42. The double λ is best supported by the MSS. though λ is more correct. St Luke alone uses this word (Luk 12:33; Luk 22:35-36). St Mark the Oriental ζώνην, ‘girdle.’
μὴ ὑποδήματα. The verb βαστάζετε shews the meaning to be that they were not to carry a second pair of sandals.
μηδένα κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἀσπάσησθε. A common direction in cases of urgency (2Ki 4:29), and partly explicable by the length and loitering elaborateness of Eastern greetings (Thomson, Land and Book, II. 24).
