It depends on what you are asking. The New Testament has many verses that discuss the Jews and the gentiles. The early church was comprised of some pagans and a number of Jews who had come to believe that Jesus was the messiah. There were some very real questions in those early days about whether only Jewish believers (Hebrew-Christians) were the authentic members of the church, and whether the gentiles would be saved. Interestingly, in other verses, addressed to Jews who did not accept Jesus, the question was whether a person who remained Jewish and did not accept Jesus could be a member of the new Christian faith. (The conclusion of the church was that they could not; believing in Jesus was essential to salvation, and anyone who did not accept him would not be saved.) The church ultimately rejected Jewish customs and practices like keeping kosher or being circumcised, and moved away from its Jewish roots; it instead decided that it would reach out to the gentiles, since most Jews did not seem eager to embrace the new Christian faith. Thus, there is a verse in Acts 11:17-19, which explains, "So if God gave them [the gentiles] the same gift as those of us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ who was I to think that I could stand in god's way?" When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, even to the Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life."
