Exegesis
The genitive mou {μου | mou} is idiomatically dependent on akousate, yielding “hear me,” while the genitive apologias {ἀπολογίας | a-po-lo-gí-as} linked with the article tes {τῆς | tês} and the prepositional phrase pros humas {πρὸς ὑμᾶς | pròs hymâs} expresses “the defense directed to you.”
Root and etymology
zēloōzeta–eta–lambda–omicron–omega
“to be zealous, to be eager”
