Here are some biblical verses where Jesus appears to limit his mission to the Israelites:

 

1. Matthew 10:5-6: "These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.'"


2. Matthew 15:24: "He answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.'"


3. Luke 1:54-55 (spoken by Mary, Jesus' mother): "He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors."


4. Luke 1:73-75 (spoken by Zechariah, John the Baptist's father): "He has come to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. You, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins."


However, it's important to note that Jesus' mission expanded beyond the Israelites, as evident in:


1. Matthew 28:19: "Go and make disciples of all nations..."


2. Luke 24:47: "Repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations..."


3. John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son..."


4. Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."


These verses suggest that Jesus' message and mission extended beyond the Israelites to include all nations and people.
