Conceptually introduced by Jesus?
This is quite puzzling, and would certainly benefit from a scriptural reference. I assume you don't mean Jesus saying something about some number that, when added to another number, yields that other number. That would definitely be impressive. I assume that, by "conceptually" introduced, you mean something weaker, like saying "There are no Samaritans in the temple". That use of "no" or "none" would certainly be a conceptual reference to zero.
However, Plato's Republic, written about 380 years earlier, says, very near the end of Book VIII:
| “ | So he [a leader] must quietly get rid of all these [former associates] if he is to rule, until not a single one is left, either friend or foe, who is of any use. | ” |
