Exegesis
The phrase pros humas {πρὸς ὑμᾶς | prós hymâs} ‘to you’ explicitly targets the audience, while peri tou patriarchou Dauid {περὶ τοῦ πατριάρχου Δαυίδ | pe-rí toû pa-tri-ár-khou Da-uíd} ‘about the patriarch David’ uses the genitive construction with tou patriarchou to present David as a foundational ancestor for the people being addressed.
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 .
