Rather like Paul, within the Jewish tradition; the clash within, so to speak: Jesus had had no mission to the gentiles after all.
(Don't take my word for it: E P Sanders, The Historical Figure Of Jesus.) Paul, after Jesus, later, created one, clashed with the Jerusalem temple, and Jesus' brother even, over it.
