Jew
(a man of Judea). This name was properly applied to a member of the kingdom of Judah after
the separation of the ten tribes. The term first makes its appearance just before the captivity of the
ten tribes. The term first makes it appearance just before the captivity of the ten tribes. (2 Kings
16:6) After the return the word received a larger application. Partly from the predominance of the
members of the old kingdom of Judah among those who returned to Palestine, partly from the
identification of Judah with the religious ideas and hopes of the people, all the members of the new
state were called Jews (Judeans) and the name was extended to the remnants of the race scattered
throughout the nations. Under the name of “Judeans” the people of Israel were known to classical
writers. (Tac. H. v.2, etc.) The force of the title “Jew” is seen particularly in the Gospel of St. John,
who very rarely uses any other term to describe the opponents of our Lord. At an earlier stage of
the progress of the faith it was contrasted with Greek as implying an outward covenant with God,
(Romans 1:16; 2:9,10; Colossians 3:11) etc., which was the correlative of Hellenist [Hellenist],
and marked a division of language subsisting within the entire body, and at the same time less
expressive than Israelite, which brought out with especial clearness the privileges and hopes of the
children of Jacob. (2 Corinthians 11:22; John 1:47)
