Commentary on Matthew 10:5
Jesus' instruction 'Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not' limits the initial mission to 'the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' This isn't permanent ethnocentrism but strategic sequencing—the gospel must first go to God's covenant people (Romans 1:16). After the cross and resurrection, the mission expands globally (28:19). This also fulfilled prophetic priority: Messiah comes to Israel first.
