{These twelve Jesus sent forth} (	outous tous d(9364)eka
apesteilen ho I(8873)ous). The word "sent forth" (apesteilen) is
the same root as "apostles." The same word reappears in  10:16 .
{Way of the Gentiles} (hodon ethn(936e)). Objective genitive, way
leading to the Gentiles. This prohibition against going among the
Gentiles and the Samaritans was for this special tour. They were
to give the Jews the first opportunity and not to prejudice the
cause at this stage. Later Jesus will order them to go and
disciple all the Gentiles ( Mt 28:19 ).
