Exegesis
The double vocative andres adelphoi {ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί | ándres adelphoí} combines respectful address with fraternal solidarity, underscoring shared identity. In translation, the temporal participial clause is rendered as “when they heard this,” the passive aorist as “were pierced” or “were deeply cut,” and the interrogative clause as a direct question to preserve the rhetorical force of urgent response.
