Exegesis
The finite verb exapestalē {ἐξαπεστάλη | e-xa-pe-stá-lē} ‘has been sent’ stands in the aorist passive, presenting God implicitly as the sender and highlighting the completed, decisive commissioning of the saving message. In translation, the double vocative was preserved for rhetorical force, the two audience groups were kept distinct yet coordinated, and the dative ‘to us’ was retained in a fronted or prominent position to show that both Jews and God-fearing Gentiles are the intended recipients of the divinely sent message.
In context — Acts 13:26
Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God , to us the word of this salvation has been sent.
