The apostles did not thoroughly understand their mission.

Explanation: When they heard Gentiles in Antioch had believed, those in Jerusalem criticized Peter and Barnabas for associating with uncircumcised men (Acts 11:1–3). Their surprise and objection show they hadn’t yet grasped that the gospel was meant for Gentiles as well.
