Matthew 10:10
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.”
ὁδός
Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.

Worker, labourer. Ergates. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. God is looking for workers not spectators. The need is great and the invitation is open.
