The twelve were all Jews

To hear Gentile believers speak you would think the twelve disciples were of various races—particularly the Gentile races. Gentiles seldom remember that the twelve were Jews, not Gentiles. The original followers of the Lord Jesus were all Jews. It would have been inappropriate for a Gentile, an uncircumcised male, to join with them.

Jesus was a Jewish rabbi, and all His followers—male and female—were Jewish.
