... and just for fun... The words Jew and Gentile are never in the Bible in the Hebrew or Greek texts. In the old testament it is Judah as in the tribe and The House of Judah. In the new testament it is always Judea, as in country. The House of Judah is separate from the The House of Israel. The word Gentile is really just nations. The context determines the who. Many times those Gentiles are in fact those of the House of Israel who were divorced by God. This is true in Romans 2:14-15, 9:24-26 and Ephesians 2:11 for examples. Gentile does not mean "non Jew". The modern day Jews have changed it to that meaning. There were two groups in the new testament. Israelites who were "Those who heard him gladly" and then those who were Edomite Jews who saw to His crucifixion. Esau is Edom, Genesis 36. "Edom is in modern Jewry", The Jewish Encyclopedia.
