Acts 9:29
Next Verse

And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Note 3 at Acts 9:29: As mentioned in note 2 at Acts 6:1, page 599, the term "Grecians" refers to Jews who had Greek as their first language as opposed to the Jews who spoke Hebrew. It is inconceivable that this would be referring to Gentiles. The New Testament church had not yet dealt with the issue of Gentiles becoming Christians as can be see by their reaction to the conversion of Cornelius (Acts 10; 11:1-18). If these Grecians were Gentile believers, then the confrontation of Paul with the apostles in Acts 15 would have been pointless.
