Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Jesus, in his earthly ministry, ministered only to the house of Israel. Jesus, throughout the gospels was fulfilling the law and the prophets. There was a wall of partition between the Jews and Gentiles at this time. Only Israel is the lost sheep. Romans 15:8 Luke 24:44 Ephesians 2:14 Jeremiah 50:6

10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

This gospel of the kingdom was only to be preached to Israel at this time. This is the earthly kingdom promised to Israel. Matthew 3:2 Matthew 4:17

10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

In Matthew 10:9 and 10:10 they were commanded not to take purses or scrip, but in Luke 22:36 below, they were now commanded to do so. We can learn that there are divisions in the word of God that must be discerned. God has differing instructions and dealings with mankind throughout time; we must rightly divide God's word to know them.

Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Do you derive a lesson from the observations that you've made? If you do then what is it and how do you propose to apply it to today?

I am taking topics and verses that are misunderstood or misapplied, and giving my understanding of them to anyone who wishes to give them consideration; and to prompt further investigation and study of scripture.

My aim is to show how right division clarifies a lot of the Bible.

My aim is to expound right doctrine. While all of scripture is profitable, we today are not the subject of all scripture; nor are we today commanded to obey all of it. Our doctrine for the church today stems from Paul's epistles. Misapplying other Bible passages to us today can cause confusion and error.
