Twenty — the cardinal number twenty, in counts of people, distances, and apocalyptic imagery
The cardinal numeral εἴκοσι (eikosi) means 'twenty' and appears eleven times across diverse counting contexts. Jesus uses it in the parable of the king calculating whether ten thousand can face twenty thousand (Luke 14:31). The disciples row about twenty-five stadia when Jesus walks on the water (John 6:19). Acts records 120 believers in the upper room (Acts 1:15) and a depth sounding of twenty fathoms (Acts 27:28). In Revelation, the twenty-four elders appear repeatedly around God's throne (Rev 4:4, 10; 5:8; 11:16; 19:4). Spanish 'veinte' and French 'vingt' render it directly.
