'Nations' in the Bible

for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;

for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the nations until the times of the nations be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and rolling waves,

And he said to them, The kings of the nations rule over them, and they that exercise authority over them are called benefactors.

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations beginning at Jerusalem.
