Mark 7 is the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It explores Jesus' relationships with both fellow Jews and Gentiles. Initially Jesus speaks with the Pharisees and scribes, and then with his disciples, about defilement. Later in the chapter Jesus heals two gentiles, one in the region of Tyre and ...
Acts 10 is the tenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke. [1] [2] This chapter records the vision of Saint Peter and his meeting with Cornelius in ...
The book tells of a "Gentile" (in this case a Pagan) who speaks with "three wise men," each representing one of the three main Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. [2] Each of these three men presents his religion, and the Gentile makes his choice. When it might be expected of a Christian polemicist such as Llull to establish ...

Israel must be identified rather with the confession of the “we” group, which can hardly refer to the Gentile nations, since the Gentiles have no “report” to proclaim, as in 53:1 (ἀκοὴ ἡμῶν). Nor are the Gentiles healed by his “wounds” or “bruises” (53:5: μώλωψ); this can only apply to the people of God.
Paul's statement that "both Jews and Greeks are under the power of sin" (verse 9) exposes the impossibility of either Gentile or Jew, unaided by God, being able to become righteous (contra Romans 2:7,13, etc.; consistent with Romans 7:7–24), as supported by a compilation of citations from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament texts) in verses 10 ...
Carol Meyers notes that "unlike virtually all women in biblical narratives, she is not presented as the 'wife' of someone". [2] Claudia Camp says that the woman is "both independent and maternal, powerful and pious." [3] The proposal to build a room for Elisha originates with the woman and is supported by her husband (2 Kings 4:9–10).
