Exegesis
The impersonal participial construction exon {ἐξὸν | éx-on} eipein {εἰπεῖν | ei-peîn} ‘it being permitted to speak’ conveys not merely personal boldness but a recognized right or appropriateness to speak openly.
In context — Acts 2:29
Men, brothers, it is permitted for me to speak to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David , that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us until this day .
