Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tois Ioudaiois {ἐν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις | en toîs Ioudaíois} locates the group, and the partitive genitive tôn pepisteukótōn {τῶν πεπιστευκότων | tôn pepisteukótōn} “of those who have believed” specifies the subset among the Jews.
In context — Acts 21:20
But when they heard this, they were glorifying God , and they said to him, “Brother, you see how many myriads of Jews have believed, and all are zealous for the law.”
