There were “gentile “ cities in Galilee near Nazareth and others on Lake Galilee, and to the west of Galilee on the seacoast. Samaria was south of Galilee, between it and Judea. This was, after all, during his Galilean ministry.

Was the command of [Matthew 10:5-6] ever remanded? No! Paul is still emphasizing the separation of evangelistic territories in [Galatians 2:7-8] in 53 A.D. This happens to be twenty some odd years after the resurrection! You folks need to take the blinders off.....right now!

Peter was never in Rome!

The commnad had to do with the Galilean ministry. Why do you insist on applying it to events twenty years later? As for the evangelical dispute, was this not simply because Peter got a warmer reception among the Jews? Paul was a radical and his success was mainly among the gentiles. Division of labor. This is what happens when one attempts to dismiss all evidence except what is contained in the Scriptural record. Scripture gives us only a few hundred pages about events extending over a whole generation and concerning the lives of thousands of people over a region half the size of the United States. Face it: we don’t get anything like a complete history.
