What about this? 
 
Matthew 15:22-26
"And behold a woman of Canaan came . . .  but he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel . . . It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs."
 
Do you not believe your Bible?  Here He actually stated in so many words his mission was to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL only.  The woman from Caanan, although a Gentile,  was an exception because of her great faith. 
 
His mission to the Samaritans was due to the large amount of the blood of Israel in that group of people.  The Samaritans were a mixture of Israelite bloodlines and Babylonian bloodlines--they were descendants of those Jews who were not taken captive in the Babylonian Captivity, and who intermarried with the Babylonians who were sent from Babylon to occupy the land.  Because the Jews would not recognize their Israelite heritage, they even had a separate temple, alter, priests, etc.  But Jesus, knowing all things, knew many of them were also Israelites.  This was not a contradiction to his stance that he was sent "but to the House of Israel."
Not only that, but if his mission was  "but to the House of Israel," what about those Israelites--ten tribes of them--who had already been taken captive many years earlier into the "Northlands"  by Assyria?   How was he to minister to them?  The Jews were basically two tribes only--Judah and Benjamin--and parts of a third tribe, Levi.  The other ten tribes had been taken captive years earlier and were never heard from again.  They are even today referred to as the "Lost Ten tribes."   So what about them?  Did THE SAVIOR NOT CARE ABOUT THEM?

cd: I see no contradictions of my original statement Blain-The Gospel was first preached to the Jews and later given to the sheep of another fold(gentiles). You also failed to explain the gospel being given to the Samaritan women-please do so??

cd: Jesus didn't stay he wasn't here for the Gentiles-He said that he was here first for the Jews-and later the gentiles upon the Jews rejection. Jew spoke to and healed many gentiles. The Samaritan woman at the well was one of those he preached to-there were many others.The other sheep mentioned were gentiles
Your total lack of understanding of the NT record is showing Deano, buddy. 
 
 
Jesus sent ONLY to the House of Israel--  see Matthew 15:22-26
"And behold a woman of Canaan came . . .  but he answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel . . . It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs."
 
Gentiles given the gospel
Peter receives a vision to preach to the Gentiles: (Read entire chapter 11 in Acts)  "
When they heard these things, they held their peace, , and glorified god, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life."    Acts 11:18 
 
The Jews were to actually hear his voice, but the Gentiles were to receive the gospel via the Holy ghost and the preaching of the Apostles--
