# I was not sent to anyone

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "God did not send me to anyone" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# to the lost sheep of the house of Israel

This is a metaphor comparing the entire nation of Israel to sheep who have gone away from their shepherd. See how you translated this in [Matthew 10:6](../10/06.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
