Contextual Overview

⁵ Jesus sent out these twelve men with the following order: "Don't go to the non-Jewish people or to any town where the Samaritans live. ⁶ But go to the people of Israel, who are like lost sheep. ⁷ When you go, preach this: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.' ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead to life again, heal those who have skin diseases, and force demons out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help other people freely. ⁹ Don't carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper. ¹⁰ Don't carry a bag or extra clothes or sandals or a walking stick. Workers should be given what they need. ¹¹ "When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in that home until you leave. ¹² When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.' ¹³ If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don't welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them. ¹⁴ And if a home or town refuses to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake its dust off your feet.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. To whom he himself was sent, Matthew 15:24. By "the house of Israel" is meant the whole Jewish nation; for though this phrase, when distinguished from the house of Judah, designs only the ten tribes; yet here it intends all the Jews, then living in the land of Judea, among whom there were some of all the tribes: and by "the lost sheep" of this house, are meant either all the people of the Jews in general, who were wandering, and were lost in error and sin, and to whom the external ministry of the Gospel came; or rather the elect of God among them, for whose sake particularly the apostles were sent unto them. These are called "sheep", because they were chosen of God, and given to Christ to be redeemed, looked up, sought out, and saved by him; and "lost" ones, not only because lost in Adam, and by their own transgressions, so that neither they themselves, nor any mere creature, could save them from eternal ruin and destruction; but also, because they were made to go astray, and were lost through the negligence and errors of their pastors, the Scribes and Pharisees: and this character is the rather given of them, partly to reflect upon the characters of the shepherds of Israel: and partly to magnify the grace of God, in having regard to such ruined and miserable creatures; and also to excite the compassion and diligence of the apostles, to preach the Gospel to them: respect seems to be had to Jeremiah 1:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But go rather to the lost sheep ... - That is, to the Jews. He regarded them as wandering and lost, like sheep straying without a shepherd. They had been the chosen people of God; they had long looked for the Messiah; and it was proper that the gospel should be first offered to them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 10:6. But go rather to the lost sheep, c.] The Jewish Church was the ancient fold of God but the sheep had wandered from their Shepherd, and were lost. Our blessed Lord sends these under-shepherds to seek, find, and bring them back to the Shepherd and Overseer of their souls.
