Exegesis
The phrase dia tou stomatos mou {διὰ τοῦ στόματός μου | di-à tou stó-ma-tos mou} identifies Peter as the instrument; formal retains “through my mouth,” dynamic adapts “from my lips.”
In context — Acts 15:7
After considerable contention, Peter stood and said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from ancient days among you God chose that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.”
