n the words of jesus what does the bible say about standing with israel in the new testament? perhaps the most pointed statement regarding the importance of the jews is from the lips of our lord and savior himself. in his conversation with the samaritan woman, recorded in john 4:1-26, jesus is very definitive: salvation is of the jews (v. 22). with these words he categorically points to the pathway which brings to earth the entirety of gods program of redemption. his persons presence becomes this ultimate path. further, the church at its inception was virtually entirely jewish. and it remained so until the gospel began to spread. ultimately the gospel spread to antioch, where the first gentile congregation began. from there, the gospel spread into all the world.
