Ephesians 2:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 When his body died on the cross, Christ took away the power of the Jewish laws and rules. In that way, he made the two groups join together as one new group of people. As a result, he caused them to have peace. 16 As a single group, Christ brought Jews and Gentiles back to God. He stopped them from hating each other. He did this by his death on the cross.
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]

- 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.
