The term "Chinese" does not appear in the Bible, as the text is primarily focused on the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world. The Bible was written in a historical context that does not directly reference the Chinese civilization, which was developing independently in East Asia during the same period. Consequently, there are no specific biblical passages or references pertaining to China or its people.However, some biblical scholars and theologians may draw connections between the spread of the Gospel and the eventual reception of Christianity in China, especially in light of passages like Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations. This has been interpreted to include all peoples, including those in China. Additionally, some ancient texts and traditions, such as the "Scythian" reference in Colossians 3:11, have been speculated to connect to various distant peoples, although this remains largely speculative and not explicitly tied to the Chinese context. Thus, while "Chinese" is not a term found in the Bible, the implications of the Gospel's universality can be seen as extending to all nations, including China.
