<p> Ἓλλην. A native of Greece. For their origin, and reference to them in the O.T., see GRECIA and GRECIANS. In the N.T. we read that some came to [[Jerusalem]] to worship and desired to see Jesus; but He was then just about to be offered up. John 12:20-24 . The [[Greeks]] were an intellectual people and naturally sought after wisdom; and [[Christ]] <i> crucified </i> was unto them foolishness. How could they naturally think of having faith in a man crucified with malefactors? But to the called ones Christ became the power and wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 . In Paul's evangelising among them 'great multitudes ' believed, and lost their proud nationality in Christ. Acts 14:1; Acts 17:4; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11 . </p> | |||
