Gentiles
Smith’s Bible Dictionary · William Smith, F. N. Peloubet, M. A. Peloubet
(nations). All the people who were not Jews were so called by them, being aliens from the worship, rites and privileges of Israel. The word was used contemptuously by them. In the New Testament it is used as equivalent to Greek. This use of the word seems to have arisen from the almost universal adaption of the Greek language.
