ACTS 21:28

Q: The Jews are upset because they believe that Paul brought Greeks into the temple.” Were

 Greeks considered a lower class by the other Jews?

 

They were considered to be ritually unclean. They could go as far as the Court of the Gentiles in the

 temple, but no further. And there was a warning sign posted there. The Roman government actually

 approved Sanhedrin death sentences for trespassing by a Gentile even if he was a Roman citizen.
