Did Jesus ever minister to Gentiles during His time on earth?
Jesus did not minister to Gentiles during His earthly ministry, except for one or two possible exceptions. The scriptural record shows no concerted outreach to Gentiles by Jesus during His time on earth, a point that many find difficult to accept.
Les explains that people get shook up when he tells them Jesus never ministered to Gentiles with one or two exceptions, and they can't swallow that. They try to find all kinds of excuses that He must have gone to Gentiles. Les always says, show me in the Scripture where He had any concert with Gentiles. In the passage, the Lord Jesus speaks from heaven to Ananias in Damascus, saying that Saul of Tarsus is a chosen vessel to bear His name before the Gentiles, indicating a shift in ministry focus.
