The role of the gentiles was a pretty messed up job. From my research, THey were basically pedophiles, Jesus did not like their role and personally, I don't think anyone nowadays would either. So even though The Bible doesn't mention about the fact that normal peasants would be sexually bothered and in some rare cases, raped to death, The Gentiles are a very bad religion.

Why did Jesus acquire a following of Jews at the start of his ministry?
He was a Jew himself, and mostly Jews lived in Judaea at the time. Christianity began as a reform movement within Judaism. Jesus was hesitant to include Gentiles at first.
If Jesus commanded his Apostles not to preach to the Gentiles and later commanded Paul to preach to the Gentiles isn't Jesus contradicting himself?
No, there is no contradiction. Jesus' initial instruction to the Apostles was specific to their mission at that time, focused on the people of Israel. The command to Paul to preach to the Gentiles came later as part of the broader plan to spread the Gospel to all nations. This shows the progression and expansion of the mission rather than a contradiction.
What is the difference between Christians and gentiles?
Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
Was Noah a gentile?

Why do Jews not believe Jesus is God?
No doubt the first-century Jews of Jerusalem and Galilee saw nothing to convince them that Jesus was other than a wandering preacher, like many others of his time. It is only the gentiles who could not have known about Jesus, other than what they were told, who began to believe in Jesus in significant numbers. Aside from that, in the Tanach, it is specified that HaShem (The Creator) is not man or son of man. The idea that a man is HaShem completely violates the teachings of Judaism.

Where was Peter last talked about in the scriptures?
The last time Peter is mentioned by name (outside of his own epistles) is in: Galatians 2:14 - But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?"
What did the Jews do in there spare in Jesus time?
nothing. they didnt have spare time in those days.
Where were the Jews located in the world in Jesus time?

Why only in the New Testament the salvation was extended to the gentiles?
God has His times and seasons. Actually there were a few Gentiles that received salvation in the Old Testament. Rahab in the Book of Joshua was one and Ruth in the Book of Ruth was another. There were more, but this was the exception to the rule. During Jesus' time on earth more Gentiles are mentioned and then finally when the Jewish people rejected Jesus as the Messiah it was time for the Gentile to be accepted by God on a different basis, although Salvation has always come by faith in God, God created a time when mostly Gentiles could come to Him freely and in great numbers. Salvation to the Gentiles was mentioned in the Old Testament a number of times, but the timing was God's.
