Re: The follow up and discipleship.

And btw, Jesus did come for Israel but also included the Gentiles...for example: Matthew 15 has him going to Tyre and Sidon and saving a Gentile(read starting with vs 21) and proceeding to an area primarily Gentile(read 29-31 and following which was probably Decapolis...a Greek/Gentile stronghold...cross referenced by Mark 7:31. Mark 5:20 also is an example Jesus was not just pro-Jew in His ministry.).
