Matthew 1:18, "She will give birth to a son and you will name him Jesus, because he will save his people [the Jews] from their sins. This immediately follows Jesus' genealogy tracing His Jewish ancestry.

Matthew 2:1-2 "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, “Where is the one who is born king of the Jews?

Matthew 2:6 "And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel"

I am not going to go through the entire New Testament to prove that Jesus and all his followers prior to Paul were all Jews. Even after Paul made his journeys many of those who followed Jesus were Jews.

You cannot, with any justification, attack Jesus' own people. If you attack the Jews you are attacking Him.

As I have said previously, everyone who accepted Jesus as the Messiah prior to Paul's voyages were Jews. All of them!

How did Jesus refer to the Gentiles? Mark 7:27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

I will no longer continue this discussion. Your attitude toward Jesus' people is between you and Him.

The Jews at the time of Jesus did not speak Hebrew. They spoke Aramaic.
