My concordance is a piece of garbage so I was unable to find the exact passage but I do remember an account of Paul in danger of losing his life. He was lowered over the city wall at night in a basket so he could flee. Spreading the word of God is one thing, ending that calling needlessly is another.

I just looked for the "shake the dust from your feet" passage. Couldn't find the location of that one either. Time for a copy of Strong's edition.

And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted together to do away with him,

but their plot became known to Saul. And they were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death;

but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.

Acts 9:23-25

MAT 10:14 "And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.

MAR 6:11 "And any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake off the dust from the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

LUK 9:5 "And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

LUK 10:11 'Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

ACT 13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
