Paul tells us that he realised at the time of his conversion that his mission was to preach to the Gentiles and Greeks (Galatians 1:15-16): "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ..."
An alternative account is in Acts of the Apostles, written some decades after the time of Paul. It says that Paul originally preached only to the Jews, until after Peter proposed to the Council in Jerusalem that the Christians should preach to the Gentiles. On this account, Paul was sent to convert the Gentiles because of Peter's vision.

Paul's encounter with the unknown god in Athens, as well as the vision he received urging him to preach to the Macedonian people, both played a significant role in motivating him to preach to the Greeks. Additionally, his understanding of the universality of the gospel message and his desire to spread Christianity beyond traditional Jewish boundaries inspired him to reach out to the Greek-speaking world.

∙ 8y agoBeginning in Acts 9:3, we read of Paul's conversion, enlisting him into God's work. The Apostle Paul was to be specially called to go to the Gentiles as Acts 9:15 clearly states, 'But the Lord said unto him (Ananias), "Go thy way: for he (Paul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles (many Greek cities), and kings, and the children of Israel (all 12 tribes)…"' It is the Apostle Paul, solely who is to go to the Gentiles, as well as Kings and the lost 10 tribes.

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.
