"NIV Matthew 10:5-6
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.
"

Yup. That's what Jesus said. Later on...much later on, the Gentiles were added to the New Testament. There's support for it in the Old Testament, but not in the Gospels.

It's a puzzlement for some. Not for me.

NIV Matthew 10:18
On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

This doesn't count; in your opinion?
