'Gentlewomen' in the Bible

But the Jews influenced the gentlewomen of rank who worshipped with them, and also the leading men in the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of the district.

Some of the people were won over, and attached themselves to Paul and Silas, including many God-fearing Greeks and not a few gentlewomen of high rank.

As the result many of them became believers, and so did not a few of the Greeks--gentlewomen of good position, and men.
