Exegesis
The genitive nouns Ioudaiōn te kai Hellēnōn {Ἰουδαίων τε καὶ Ἑλλήνων | Ioudaíōn te kaí Hellḗnōn}, linked by the enclitic particle te, identify the mixed audience, while polu plēthos {πολὺ πλῆθος | polý plḗthos} emphasizes the size of the response. In English, the infinitival sequence is rendered as finite clauses for clarity, and the result clause is conveyed with “so that” or “so effectively that” to preserve its causal force.
