Acts 13:46, 47 - 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. For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.' "

That was Saint Paul, who believed that God had given him the authority to be an apostle even though he was not one of the original 12 and had never known Jesus. Saint Paul believed that the message of Jesus was for all people, so he converted Gentiles into the Christian community. This angered some Palestinian Christians.Paul the Apostle was known as the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.' He undertook a number of missionary journeys in which he preached to the gentiles.
He preached the core message of Jesus - the Kingdom of God.
Definitely not. Paul preached his message to Jews and Gentiles. His letters to the congregations were addressed to Christians, but Paul himself traveled widely in order to spread Christianity to non-Christians.
To spread Christianity to the gentiles.
In Perga, Paul and his companions preached the Gospel to the people in the synagogue. Paul delivered a powerful sermon, but faced opposition from some Jews, leading him to turn his focus towards sharing the message with the Gentiles instead.
It was the apostle Paul .
To spread Christianity to the gentiles.
Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10,000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire's most important cities. Although places like Ephesus, Philippians, Corinthian and Athens looked magnificent, they were also home to tens of thousands of poor, desperate people who were the perfect audience for the Christian message of eternal life. Like Jesus, Paul spoke to people in their homes and synagogues. But he went beyond Jesus, who had only preached to Jews. Paul believed his message should also be taken to gentiles - the non-Jews.
After his conversion, Saul of Tarsus, who later became known as the apostle Paul, dedicated his life to preaching the teachings of Jesus Christ. He traveled extensively, establishing churches and spreading the message of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. He wrote many of the letters, or epistles, that are now part of the New Testament.
Down through the centuries there have been many people who are followers of Jesus, who have preached to both Jews and Gentiles. In the Bible we have the apostle Peter, who usually preached to Jews, but in Acts 10:34-43 he preached to a Gentile family of a Roman soldier, Cornelius. Also in Acts 8:26-40 we see the account of Philip, known as the evangelist in later times, preaching to the Ethiopian. Then of coarse the apostle Paul preached to Jews and Gentiles as we see in his epistles in the Bible.
But they most certainly were and Paul was their specially appointed Apostle by God.
