Our Lord by these words doth not deny but that he was sent as a Redeemer to more, but not as a minister, or as an apostle, as he is called, Hebrews 3:1. The apostle, Romans 15:8, saith, that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. Our Lord's ministry was confined to the Jews; so was the apostles, Matthew 10:5. Till some time after our Saviour's ascension the gospel was not preached generally to the Gentiles, though some particular persons might and did, both in Christ's time and in the time of the apostles, before they did go to the Gentiles, hear, receive and embrace the gospel, as we shall hear this woman did.
