THE WORLD
THE NATION OF ISRAEL
John 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew [understand] him not.
HE WAS SENT TO ONE NATION
Matthew 15:24  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
GENTILE NATIONS EXCLUDED
Matthew 10:5-6  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, …  6  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
John 1:10 tell us that Jesus was in the world but we know that he did not travel outside the nation of Israel. In Matthew 15:24 he told a Gentile woman that she was not included in his ministry. In Matthew 10:5-6 Jesus sent his disciples to minister only to the nation of Israel.
