Why was Saint Paul known as the apostle of the gentiles?
Paul, in the Bible, was an Israelite and an apostle of Jesus Christ. (Eph 1:1; Php 3:5)Initially, the Christian message was preached almost exclusively to those of the Jewish faith. (e.g. Matt 10:5-6, 15:24; Acts 9:20-25)However, in due course this ministry was expanded to include non-Jews, i.e. gentiles, (Matt 28:19,20; Acts chapters 10,11; 15:7) and Paul took a lead in this new evangelising focus. (Romans 15:15,16; Gal 1:15-17; 2:1-10, especially verses 7, 8)On this basis, Paul accurately describes himself as an apostle to the gentiles. (Rom 1:1, 11:13)Romans 11:13, some translations:Paul said: "I am ...... the apostle to the Gentiles ~NIV... an apostle to the Gentiles ~Moffat, RSV, GNB... a missionary to the Gentiles ~NEB... a special messenger to you Gentiles ~Living Bible... the apostle of the nations ~KJVA:The Apostle Paul wasn't one of the twelve disciples/apostles. Matthew 10:1-10 and Acts 1:21-26. The Apostle Paul is the Apostle of and to the gentiles; our Apostle. He is a distinct Apostle, and he was the first member of the church which is the body of Christ, so the body of Christ started in Acts 9, when he was saved. Paul didn't start it, God did.Acts 9:15 The Lord told Ananias that He had chosen Paul to bear His name before the Gentiles. This is only one reference to Paul and the Gentiles.Additionally:Much of the New Testament is instruction in the laws and ways of God, written by Paul, and addressed to the churches he planted: the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonianswere all GENTILES.So, Paul becoming known as 'the apostle of or to the Gentiles' was not a difficult or all that mysterious of a leap.
What moved Paul to preach to the Greeks?
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.
Was the apostle Peter also called Simon Cephas of Tarsus?
"Peter" is named five different ways:"Peter," in Matthew 14:28"Simon" in Luke 22:31"Simon Peter" in Matthew 16:16"Symeon" at Acts 15:14"Cephas" at John 1:42But it was the Apostle Paul who was from Tarsus.Roman Catholic AnswerTo shed some light on the confusion, his name was Simon, that was his Jewish name in Aramaic. Jesus gave him the name "rock" in Matthew 16:18. The word for "rock" is Kephas or Cephas in Hebrew, and Petros (feminine) or Petras (masculine) (most other languages have gender in their words) in Greek (from which we get the name Peter).
Who said the new apostle needed to be chosen?

How many wives did apostle peter have?
The New Testament indicates that the Apostle Peter was married, as it mentions Jesus healing his mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14-15). However, the Bible does not provide details about the number of wives he had. Traditionally, it is believed that Peter had one wife, but there is no definitive scriptural evidence to confirm this.
Is there a contradiction between Matthew 15 24 and Mark 16 15?
Matthew 15:24: "But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Here, Jesus is explaining his unwillingness to help someone who is not a Jew, in this case, the Canaanite woman who sought help for her daughter.Mark 16:15: " And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Here Jesus takes a contradictory view.Scholars say that the author of Matthew's Gospel did rely on Mark's Gospel for his information about the life and mission of Jesus, but could not have known about any of the material in Mark 16:9-25 (the "Long Ending") because this was not added until long after the gospels were first written. Matthew could not have known that there was a contradiction. In fact, Matthew 15:22-28, the passage that includes Matthew 15:24, has its original in Mark 7:25-30.

[Matthew 15:24]These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans [Matthew 10:5]
Why did Jesus in Matthew 10 v 5-6 contradicted himself in Mark 16 v 15?
Jesus did not contradict Himself in these verses. In Matthew 10:5,6 He was sending His apostles out to preach the gospel at the beginning of His ministry. He originally came for His own people the Jews, to show them a new and better way. He was rejected by them and put to death...When He rose from the dead, as you read in Mark 16:15, the great commission was to preach the gospel to the world. He had moved from His own people before His death, to all who would believe (the world) after He died. The gospel message then became salvation for all mankind, not just His own people.
