   And Jesus in Matthew 10.5 ordered the apostles not to go into any city   
   of the Samaritans, "but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of   
   Israel." Mathew 10.6.   
      
      
   Furthermore you forgot to explain away the centurion's servant.

   Right after you learn what is written in the Gospels.  Furthermore   
   there is quite a bit of sectarian tension between various groups of   
   Jews, but if a man has a Jewish mother (Reform, Conservative, Orthodox   
   or even atheist) that man is considered to be a Jew by all the   
   religious sects.  That did not apply to the Samaritans, as Jesus   
   himself in Matthew points out; and it certainly did not apply to the   
   centurion or to his servant or to the Canaanite woman.
