Preached to all the gentiles

Submitted by Kurt Lindblom on Sun, 06/14/2009 - 21:16

On page 29 of Ulysses, Joyce mentions that the 12 apostles preached the Gospel to the Gentiles.

The beginning of this ministry is described in Acts 10-11.

This seems to contradict Jesus' instructions in Matthew 10:

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9 Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10 take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.
