But didn't Jesus told them in Matthew 10:5 not to go to the gentiles?
And even after he resurrected, at no point of time did he tell them that the Law of Moses was done away with.
He even reminded them in Matthew 28 to teach others to obey everything he commanded them.
So if you are Peter, and you were taught by Jesus all those 3 years, given what the scripture has recorded in the 3 instances I have stated above, why do you think he had misconceptions?
Would it be possible, instead, that they were never meant to be sent to Gentiles with the gospel that they were given in Matthew to John?

Did Scripture record anyone from the 12 going to the Gentiles to preach?
And for that one off Cornelius event, it was only after the Holy Spirit specifically shown Peter with a vision 3 times, before Peter was willing to go. Yet he had to remind Cornelius that it was against the Law for him to be there.
So yes, you are right, they never did go to the Gentiles.

I already said, he was going to Jerusalem to worship vs 27. That is the clearest indication that he is Jewish.
Jews scattered abroad do make it a point to visit Jerusalem a few times a year during important Jewish festivals. Acts 2:5 indicated that, at Pentecost which is an important festival of the Jews,
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
In fact, Acts 2:5 forms the foundation of my belief that what Jesus meant when he said "all nations" in Matthew 28, is Jews of all nations. This is also reinforced by what Mark 13:10 stated

You could make the argument that he was Jewish based off that passage, but I don’t think there is enough to support that theory. He may have been a Gentile that worshiped the God of Israel. They did exist as well.
Again, you adhere to the 2 gospel doctrine and I do not. You’re leaving out historical evidence and writings that the Apostles did indeed preach to the Gentiles.

Okay, if you are relying on evidence other than scripture for your doctrine, we can agree to disagree here.
However, I can agree with you that, after the events in Acts 28, the 12 could have ended up preaching to the Gentiles, once they realized for themselves that the Jewish nation have rejected their Messiah.
