Context of Acts 21:18
16And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge. 17And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us. And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there. 19And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry. 20And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.
