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.^{(D) 21} They have been told about you that you teach all the Jews living among the gentiles to forsake Moses and that you tell them not to circumcise their children or observe the customs.
