Acts 4:4

But many of those who had heard the message (the word) came to believe, and the number of men was now about 5,000.
[From being a group of 120 men and women, see Acts 1:15, the believers increased by about 3,000 on the day of Pentecost, see Acts 2:41. Among these were some visitors, see Acts 2:9–10. Depending on how much time had passed between the day of Pentecost and this event, some may have returned home. At the same time, people were coming to faith daily, see Acts 2:47.
The number 5,000 here in verse 4 probably refers to the total number of male believers in Jerusalem at this time. In a few hours that afternoon (between the healing of the man at three o'clock and the arrest of Peter and John at six o'clock), thousands probably came to faith. The crowd continues to grow, see Acts 5:14. Many priests also come to faith, see Acts 6:7. About 25 years later, Luke refers to how thousands of Jews came to faith in Jerusalem, see Acts 21:20. The total population of Jerusalem at this time in the 30s AD is difficult to estimate, but it was around 40,000-100,000. During the high holidays, it increased to more than double or triple that number.]
