The Gospel this Sunday includes one of the hard sayings of Jesus. It corresponds to another of the hard sayings that we heard from him a few weeks ago, i.e., that the disciples were to go only to the lost sheep of Israel. (The people who believed they were not saved because they could not fulfill every rule of the law.) One of the themes of Matthew was the importance of the Jewish community hearing that Jesus was the Messiah. From the beginning of his [public ministry, he was focused on the people of his community and did not travel outside his own country. Interestingly, where he lived was close to an intersection of many countries and commerce. It would have been natural for him to see many people from other lands. However, the project started locally, like his mustard seed example, namely the twelve apostles and the disciples.
