‏ Luke 10:7

In that same house ( εν αυτη τη οικια ). Literally, in the house itself, not "in the same house" ( εν τη αυτη οικια ), a different construction. A free rendering of the common Lukan idiom is, "in that very house."

Eating ( εσθοντες ). An old poetic verb εσθω for εσθιω that survives in late Greek.

Such things as they give ( τα παρ' αυτων ). "The things from them."

For the labourer is worthy of his hire ( αξιος γαρ ο εργατης του μισθου αυτου ). In Mt 10:10 we have της τροφης αυτου (his food). 1Ti 5:18 has this saying quoted as scripture. That is not impossible if Luke wrote by A.D. 62. Paul there however may quote only De 25:4 as scripture and get this quotation either from Lu 10:7 or from a proverbial saying of Jesus. It is certainly not a real objection against the Pauline authorship of First Timothy.

Go not from house to house ( μη μεταβαινετε εξ οικιας εις οικιαν ). As a habit, μη and the present imperative, and so avoid waste of time with such rounds of invitations as would come.
