Who is a Gentile?

• A. A Jewish priest
• B. A Greek philosopher
• C. A follower of Jesus
• D. A non-Jewish person

Answer: (D)

Gentile is the term used in the Bible to describe someone who is not Jewish; it designates a non-Israelite person or nation. The best answer is describing a non-Jewish person because that captures the exact meaning of Gentile. A Jewish priest is part of the Jewish people, so not a Gentile. A Greek philosopher is non-Jewish in identity, which would make them a Gentile by definition, but the term isn’t about what someone does or believes (like a philosopher); it’s about ethnic or religious identity. A follower of Jesus could be either Jewish or Gentile, since early Christians included both groups, so following Jesus doesn’t inherently determine Gentile status.
