Exegesis
The sentence opens with a stacked vocative series andres {Ἄνδρες | Án-dres}, adelphoi {ἀδελφοὶ | a-del-phoí}, kai pateres {καὶ πατέρες | kaí pa-té-res}, combining a general address “men” with familial “brothers” and deferential “fathers” to signal respect toward a mixed but authoritative Jewish audience.
In context — Acts 22:1
Men, brothers , and fathers, hear my defense that I now make to you.
