No, there is no contradiction. Jesus' initial instruction to the Apostles was specific to their mission at that time, focused on the people of Israel.

To whom did Paul say the Church would not preach since the Jewish leaders rejected the teachings of Jesus?

Paul didn't say "the church" would not preach to a given group; he (and Barnabas) announced their intent to preach primarily to the Gentiles because of the Jews' resistance to the gospel of Christ.Acts 13:46 - Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles."This statement was made to an audience in Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13:14).
