Commentary on Acts 21:20
The Jerusalem elders' report that 'many thousands' (Greek 'myriades,' literally 'myriads') of Jews believed demonstrated the gospel's powerful impact even in Judaism's heartland. However, these believers remained 'zealous of the law,' creating tension with Paul's law-free Gentile mission. This verse captures the transitional period as God's redemptive program moved from Israel-centered to church-centered.
