And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of the ones having believed there are among the Jews! And they are all zealots[a] for the Law. 21 And they were informed about you— that you are teaching all the Jews[b] throughout the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not be circumcising their children, nor walking in their customs.
