Bible Dictionary
Greek
In the New Testament, “Greek” may mean a person of Greek ancestry or, more broadly, a Gentile in contrast with a Jew. It is distinguished from “Grecian,” which commonly refers to a Greek-speaking foreign Jew.
Biblical Usage
The word identifies Greeks by race and Gentiles generally. In Acts 11:20, the supplied material indicates that “Greeks,” rather than “Grecians,” is the appropriate sense for the heathen Greeks of that city.
