<p>10:3 <i>Go your way. See, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves</i>- As He was the lamb of God sent forth for the salvation of men, so those in Him are sent forth with that same Gospel, as lambs. This was the language of the Jewish teachers about the role of Israel in the world; but the Lord is implying that His preachers are the new Israel, and the Jewish world is as the unbelieving Gentile world. Judah is spoken of as &ldquo;One sheep attempting to survive among seventy wolves&rdquo; (<i>Esther Rabbah</i> 10:11).</p>
