You are reaidng into it because it's out of context. Christ makes it very clear an unambiguous that he was SENT for the LOST SHEEP of ISRAEL. The sheep that are not in His fold are the lost shep of Israel, not the Gentiles.

Even the Revelation speaks of the 12 tribes. Everything points to the idea that the original Chrstian following had no intentsions or desires to go to any of the Gentiles (non-Semites), or even to Semites whose Torah is believed in "error" (Samaritans).
