Which statement about Gentiles is accurate?

• A. A Gentile is a Jewish Christian.
• B. A Gentile is a non-Jewish person.
• C. A Gentile is a member of the priestly class.
• D. A Gentile is a follower of Jesus.

Answer: (B)

Gentile designates someone who is not Jewish. In biblical usage, it distinguishes the nations outside Israel from the people of Israel, focusing on ethnic and religious identity rather than belief. A Gentile can become a follower of Jesus, and many did in the early church, but being a Gentile itself does not imply Christian status or priestly lineage. The priestly class refers to specific Israelite lineages (like Kohanim or Levites), not to Gentiles. So the accurate description is that a Gentile is a non-Jewish person.
