Neville Goddard on Luke 10:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 10 in context

Scripture Focus

5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.

6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

7And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

Luke 10:5-7

Biblical Context

Jesus instructs to pronounce peace when entering a home; if the people are receptive, peace rests there; if not, it returns to the speaker. Stay in the same house and accept what is offered, acknowledging the value of your own work in the process.

Neville's Inner Vision

Enter the scene as a temple of your own consciousness. You speak, 'Peace be to this house,' not to the walls but to your state of awareness. The 'son of peace' is the inner condition that is ready to receive and recognize you; if that condition is present, your peace rests upon it and the room becomes a mirror of your serenity. If it is not yet present, your peace returns to you, testing your assumption and inviting you to revise your state—your I AM—until it is met. The instruction to remain in the same house is guidance to dwell in one state long enough for its good to take form; wandering to other scenes signals unsettled belief. The line about the labourer being worthy of his hire reminds you that inner work is rewarded by the outer life: by staying with the truth you project, your needs are provided for. In practice, treat every encounter as a ceremony where consciousness is acknowledged and peace is the default.

Practice This Now

Act: In a moment, imagine you enter a room and say, 'Peace be to this house.' Feel the peace resting on the space; if resistance appears, revise your state to I AM and feel it real until the room reflects your serenity.
