B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
D
Explanation
In Matthew’s account, the Lord told his twelve disciples to go to the people of Israel. In Matthew 10:5-6, Jesus instructs his twelve disciples, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” However, in Matthew 28:19, Jesus gives a broader commission to his disciples, saying “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This indicates a shift in focus from exclusively ministering to the Israelites to a broader mission of proclaiming the gospel to all peoples.
