Exegesis
Finally, the emphatic order of touto egō katangellō hymin {τοῦτο ἐγὼ καταγγέλλω ὑμῖν | toû-to e-gṓ ka-tang-gél-lō hy-mîn} ‘this I proclaim to you’ climactically shifts the focus from their quest to Paul’s proclamation, mirroring Greek emphasis in the English rendering.
In context — Acts 17:23
For as I was passing through and carefully observing the objects of your worship, I also found an altar on which had been inscribed: “To an Unknown God .” Therefore, what you worship without knowing , this I proclaim to you.
