Its most likely that because the Jews and Gentiles would of ignored Jesus when he claimed to be the son of God and to be the messiah so in other words, Jesus was fed up of preaching to them. Jesus told Paul the apostle to preach unto the Gentiles and Jews because to tell them "the good news".
yes, Jesus contradicted himself.
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. The command to Paul to preach to the Gentiles came later as part of the broader plan to spread the Gospel to all nations. This shows the progression and expansion of the mission rather than a contradiction.
The Apostle of the Gentiles refers to the Apostle Paul in the Christian tradition. Paul played a significant role in spreading Christianity among non-Jewish communities, hence earning him this title. He is known for his missionary journeys and writings that form a significant part of the New Testament.
Saint Paul was known as the apostle of the gentiles because he played a significant role in spreading Christianity to non-Jewish populations. He focused on evangelizing to the gentiles and made efforts to include them within the Christian community, breaking down the traditional barriers that separated Jews and gentiles in religious practices.
Acts 1: 26 says this: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles." Thus quite clearly Matthias was the replacement for Judas who was already dead before Jesus as he hanged himself in despair as recorded.
God entrusted Paul with the stewardship of the gospel, to proclaim the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ to both Jews and Gentiles. Paul saw himself as a servant of God chosen to spread the good news of redemption and reconciliation to the world.
Yes, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas as one of the twelve apostles after he hanged himself. This is described in the Book of Acts in the New Testament.
In Matthew's Gospel, Judas returned the money to the priests and then hanged himself. They bought a piece of land for the burial of Gentiles. In Acts of the Apostles, Judas did not return the money, but bought himself some land.
He called himself the Apostle to the Gentiles.
Jesus himself found and selected the 12 apostles.

The Gentiles
Jesus felt that He was praying by Himself. He was with a few of His apostles but He asked them to stay back and He went to pray by himself. Then when He returned to His apostles He found them sleeping. So, He was praying by himself.
None of the 12 apostles, as far as we know, were Gentiles. All except Judas Iscariot (who was from the region called Iscaria) were Jews from Galilee. Paul, sometimes modestly referred to (by himself) as the 'least' of the apostles, who was not one of the 12 was also a Jew but also a Roman citizen. The only major character in the new testament who was a Gentile was Luke - the writer of the third Gospel and the Book of Acts, and a companion of Paul on his Missionary journeys. He was a Greek born in Antioch, and a physician.

He says that he is, however, he is always contradicting himself. A pacifist is someone who believes in peace and not fighting, yet he started a big fight with Stradlater.
The meaning of Peter's dream in the Bible (Acts 10) was to show him that God's message and salvation were not only for the Jewish people but for all nations. It was a revelation for Peter to understand that he should not consider any person unclean or unworthy of receiving God's grace based on their ethnicity or background.
