Exegesis
The imperative akousate {ἀκούσατε | a-koú-sa-te} ‘hear’ functions as the main verb, placing the audience under an urgent command to listen, while tous logous toutous {τοὺς λόγους τούτους | toùs lógous toútous} ‘these words’ specifies Peter’s ensuing message as the object of their attention.
In context — Acts 2:22
Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.
