Exegesis
The phrase eis ta idia {εἰς τὰ ἴδια | eis ta í-di-a} literally ‘into his own things’ is an idiom for bringing someone into one’s own household and sphere of responsibility. In English, word order is slightly adjusted to keep the natural flow of narrative while preserving the close link between Jesus’ command and the disciple’s obedient care.
