They were all Jewish. Jesus was sent only to 'the lost sheep of Israel' (Matthew 15:24), then later he sent his followers to preach to the 'nations'(Acts 1:8)(Matthew 28:19)(Acts 10:1-35) .
Additional Comment:
The Sceptre Promise of a Savior was placed upon Judah (nicknamed Jews) by Israel, his father. At the time of Christ, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was captive and dispersed by the Assyrian Empire in 722-718 BC, never to return until Christ comes again. So Israel was primarily peoples of the tribe of Judah, many of Levi, and many of Benjamin and Simeon.
Jesus did send His Apostles (Jews) to the lost sheep of Israel and perhaps His Father had already made known to these tribes of His birth - thinking Wise Men (Magi). Josephus notes a large mass of people beyond count, living not too far away from Israel and called them the lost 10 tribes. Some scholars say these were the Parthian Empire - ruling people at time of His life. They also believe the Magi came from this Empire.
