Acts 21:20

When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to him,
"You see, brother [Paul], that there are tens of thousands (many myriads, an innumerable number) of Jews who have come to believe [here in Jerusalem or throughout Jude], and they all strictly (devotedly, fanatically – Gk. zelotes) to the law [Torah].
[This meeting probably took place in the spring of 56 or 57 CE, a time characterized by Jewish nationalism with many revolts and strong opposition to Gentiles. Literally "many myriads." A myriad denotes the highest numerical value in Greek, which is 10,000, but is also used to describe a very large number in general terms, see 1 Cor. 4:15; 14:19. The congregation has grown, see Acts 2:41; 4:4; 5:14; 6:7. The total population of Jerusalem at this time is estimated at several hundred thousand inhabitants. Three times a year, the population grew dramatically to double or triple that number, as pilgrims visited the city for a few weeks during the feasts, see Acts 2:9–11; 20:16.]
