Exegesis
Direct address begins with the vocative andres Israēlitai {Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται | Andrés Israēlîtai} ‘Men, Israelites’, followed by kai {καὶ | kaí} introducing a second addressed group, hoi phoboumenoi ton theon {οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν | hoí phoboúmenoi tón theón} ‘those who fear God’, a description that in context likely includes Gentile God-fearers attending the synagogue.
