ACTS 21:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:”
And when they heard it, they glorified God. Then they said to him, 'You see, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and they are all zealous for the law' — the Jerusalem church is portrayed as law-observant and growing; yet the 'but' implicit in this statement reveals tension. The church's zealousness for Torah may be misunderstood as incompatible with Paul's law-free gospel to Gentiles.
