6: πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προς τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλâ€” edit Textus Receptus
6: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.- edit KJV text
6: But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.â€” edit Douay text

But go rather to the lost sheep, etc. 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.
