Jesus said to not go to the gentiles, but to Israel.
Matthew 10:5-6 - "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
However, the apostle Paul said he is the apostle of the gentiles.
Romans 11:13 - "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:"
Romans 15:16 - "That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost."
Jesus Christ was preaching the gospel of the kingdom.
Matthew 4:23 - "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."
Matthew 9:35 - "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."
Paul wasn't preaching the gospel of the kingdom, Paul was preaching the gospel of Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:14 - "For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:"
We see a clear change in what was going on, they were preaching the gospel of the kingdom to the Jews, and later in the Bible they were preaching the gospel of Christ to both Jews and gentiles.
There was a dispensational change, Jesus said not to go to the gentiles, but Paul said he is the teacher of the gentiles, who is right? if you understand the biblical doctrine of dispensationalism, you know that they are both right, and that there was a dispensational change.
