The gospel preached by Jesus and the twelve apostles was different from the gospel preached by Paul.

Jeremiah 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

2 Samuel 7:16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

David was told of God that his kingdom and throne would be established forever.

Deuteronomy 15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

God has promised Israel will reign over many nations.

Daniel 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Jesus will have dominion over the nations in his kingdom on earth, and the saints, the believing remnant of Israel, will possess this kingdom forever.

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel during his earthly ministry. Jesus did not go to Gentiles (Matthew 10:5) although Gentiles could come to God through Israel (Exodus 12:48 Acts 10:45); Gentiles would be blessed in the kingdom by the Lord Jesus and the remnant of Israel (Isaiah 60:3 Matthew 12:18-21 Luke 2:32).

Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Jesus was sent to save Israel from their sins.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

The believing remnant of Israel is called "little flock" by the Lord Jesus Christ; it is this remnant who will, according to the law and prophets, be given the kingdom on earth (2 Kings 21:14 Isaiah 1:9 Jeremiah 23:2 Psalm 37:9-11 Daniel 7:18 Deuteronomy 4:39-40).

Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Peter preached that Jesus rose again to sit on the throne of David in the kingdom.

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

The gospel of the kingdom was the glad tidings to Israel that their promised kingdom on earth was coming.

Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

9:2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

That Jesus sent the twelve to heal the sick is significant in identifying the gospel they were sent to preach. God was speaking to Aaron in Leviticus 21:17-24 and told him that no seed of his could perform priestly duty if blemished by physical infirmity. The twelve were preaching the gospel of the kingdom to prepare a kingdom of priests as prophesied in Exodus 19:5-6. Healing was to prepare priests without blemish; to announce the coming kingdom (Luke 10:9); and for signs (Mark 16:17).

The twelve disciples were sent to preach the same gospel that the Lord Jesus Christ was preaching to Israel, the gospel of the kingdom.

Mark 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

The gospel of the kingdom preached by Jesus and the twelve disciples was the preaching of the kingdom of David, the Davidic kingdom.

1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

The twelve disciples were sent to preach the Davidic kingdom on earth. The kingdom of God includes heaven and earth. The twelve were preaching the earthly kingdom aspect of the kingdom of God.

Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24:3 establishes the subject of inquiry as the coming of the Lord Jesus and the end of the world. The gospel of the kingdom would be preached by the twelve disciples to the nations on earth before the end. The same gospel preached by Jesus at the beginning will be preached at the end.

Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

In verse 18 all power is given unto Christ Jesus in heaven and in earth. Jesus will establish his kingdom in the earth as well as in heaven. The kingdom promised Israel troughout scripture is an earthly kingdom. Jesus is reconciling both heaven and earth to himself (Colossians 1:20); the earth is to be reconciled through Israel and the Davidic kingdom.

In verse 19 Jesus told the eleven disciples to teach and baptize all nations beginning at Jerusalem (Luke 24:47). This would pertain to the Gentile nations that will enter the kingdom along with believing Israel.

Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

The disciples certainly expected the earthly Davidic kingdom when they asked Jesus if the kingdom would be restored at that time to Israel. There is nothing in scripture that demonstrates Jesus or the twelve were preaching any other gospel than the gospel of the kingdom during that dispensation.

Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

God promised Israel would be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests; God has qualified this kingdom as being upon the earth in verse 5 when he said "all the earth is mine".

Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

The remnant, the Israel of God, will be kings and priests in the kingdom as promised.

Jesus and the twelve preached the gospel of the kingdom. The Lord Jesus Christ will come to fulfill the promise to sit on the throne of David in the Davidic kingdom on earth (Isaiah 9:6-7). Israel will posses the kingdom and reign with Christ over the Gentile nations on earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4).

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Peter is referencing Hosea 2:23

The people of God are the believing remnant of Israel.

Your title is ambiguous.

Do you mean Jesus preached a different gospel to the twelve, or that Jesus and the twelve preached a different gospel to someone else?

The twelve were taught by Jesus. Jesus and the twelve preached the gospel of the Davidic kingdom on earth so that makes it a different gospel that what Paul preached.
They were not all preaching the same gospel throughout the Bible.

Paul preached the kingdom of God.

Paul preached "!the gospel of our Lord Jesus" (2Thess 1:8); "the gospel of Christ" (2Cor 2:12)
How is the "gospel of Christ" different to the gospel that Christ taught?

Act 1:1 - Of all the treaties I have made, Oh beloved of God, Of all That Our Savior Began to DO and TEACH until the Day He was taken UP, and after that Gave He Commandments to His Followers by Way of the Holy Spirit!!!
As the Torah [Law] was for all, the Native born and the Gentiles, in the old Testament, so is there only ONE Gospel for all, to the Native born first, and also to the Gentile

Concerning the title of this thread:

If what you say is true, then Jesus and the twelve are all accursed according to the writings of Paul (in Galatians 1:6-9).

Jesus did not come to take over the existing governments of this world but to establish his kingdom.

The gospel of Christ is progressively revealed. Jesus preached that he is the Messiah, the Son of God and his kingdom was at hand. Jesus preached his death and resurrection as being in prophecy and for the new testament for Israel. Jesus did not reveal all that would be accomplished at the cross in reconciling the world to himself; that was revealed to Paul as being mystery.

All said without a single piece of evidence and avoiding the points I made and the question I asked.

The Davidic kingdom is found throughout scripture in passages such as 2 Chronicles 6:16 2 Samuel 7:16 Mark 11:10 Luke 12:32

I certainly am not advocating for replacement theology. Replacement theology says the church has replaced Israel. I am trying to establish that there is a difference between God's program for Israel and the church.

Jesus preached far more than that. You are simply ignoring a large portion of the Gospel. There is only one all-encompassing Gospel.

Indeed! I saw the same problem with the title and it sure muddied the waters for me when I tried to understand his point in the lengthy OP.
