Luke 10:10 presents the opposite scenario — when not received, shake off dust — contrasting with the instruction to eat when received.

Luke 9:48 teaches that receiving a child in Jesus' name is receiving Christ — adding theological depth to the hospitality commanded here.

Matthew 10:40 explicitly states that receiving the apostles is receiving Christ — directly echoing the principle behind this instruction.

John 13:20 parallels this by saying whoever receives the one I send receives me — reinforcing the divine connection in mission.

Matthew 10:11 instructs to find a worthy person in the town and stay — a parallel command about reception during mission.

Mark 6:10 commands staying in one house when received — a parallel instruction to remain, not moving from house to house.

1 Corinthians 10:27 gives a similar instruction to eat whatever is set before you without questions, though in the context of idol food.
