Acts 8 first gentile....
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
[SUP]31 [/SUP]And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
[SUP]33 [/SUP]In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
[SUP]36 [/SUP]And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
[SUP]37 [/SUP]And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Matthew 10:5
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
The Samaritans were not considered Jews....and the gospel was preached to them before Acts 10...
Acts 8:25King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]25 [/SUP]And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
