Ephesians 2:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible
17 When Christ came, he told people God's good news about peace. He told that message to you Gentiles, who were far away from God. He also told it to us Jews, who were near to God.[a] 18 Now we all have received the same Holy Spirit, because of what Christ has done for us. As a result, we can all come near to God the Father.
19 So now, you Gentiles are not strangers among God's people any more. You belong to the group of God's people that he rules. You belong to God's family, as all God's people do.

- 2:17 The Jews already knew about God. God had given them his Laws. He promised to take care of them if they obeyed him. He promised to send his special Messiah to save them. The Gentiles did not know about those things.
