Jesus speaking: "Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel." -- Matthew 10: 5, 6
The better translations don;t use the term pagans, and there is no negative conatation to Samartians; they were known to not like Jews, is all, since the Babylonian Jews were oppressive and heavily discriminated against all Jews who weren't exiled, and liked to murder them on occasion, so the Apostles would not have been well received at that time.
