Where did Jesus tell the twelve disciples to go in Matthew 10?
In Matthew 10:5-6, Jesus commanded the twelve not to go into the way of the Gentiles or any city of the Samaritans, but rather to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, God's earthly people.
Les teaches that in Matthew chapter 10, Jesus had just called out the twelve disciples, or apostles. In verse 5, He sent them forth and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, God's earthly people." Les explains that Christ's earthly ministry was confined to His earthly people, Israel, with only two exceptions, such as the account in Matthew 15:21 where Jesus departed into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, the area now known as Lebanon.
