| Acts 9:29
| He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Grecians: but they sought to kill him.
| He spoke also to the Gentiles,{ Ver. 29. Loquebatur quoque Gentibus, et disputabat cum Graecis. In almost all Greek copies, there is nothing for Gentibus, and we only read, he spoke and disputed with the Grecians, or Hellenists; pros tous Ellenistas. See Acts 6:1.|} and disputed with the Grecians, or Hellenists. See Acts 6:1. By the Gentiles, many understand those who had been Gentiles, and were become proselytes or converts to the Jewish religion, and not those who still remained Gentiles. And by the Greeks, or Hellenists, they understand Jews, who had lived in places where they spoke Greek, or Hellenists, they understand Jews, who had lived in places where they spoke Greek, not Syriac, whom St. Paul endeavoured to convert to the Christian faith.
