Matthew records Jesus' comments about the centurion, who showed great faith, and he also notes the acceptance of gentiles as equal with Jews in God's Kingdom.

10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

Which gospel was written for the gentiles?

John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.


According to Luke's gospel the Magi visited the baby Jesus?

Actually, the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is not recorded in Luke's gospel but in the Gospel of Matthew. The story can be found in Matthew 2:1-12. Luke's gospel includes the nativity story, but it focuses more on the shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth.
