# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to instruct his disciples about what they should do when they go to preach.
# As for those who do not receive you or listen
"If no people in that house or city will receive you or listen"
# you ... your
This is plural and refers to the twelve apostles. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
# listen to your words
Here "words" refers to what the disciples say. Alternate translation: "listen to your message" or "listen to what you have to say" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# city
You should translate this the same way you did in [Matthew 10:11](../10/11.md).
# shake off the dust from your feet
"shake the dust off your feet as you leave." This is a sign that God has rejected the people of that house or city. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
