Exegesis
The double vocative andres adelphoi {Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί | Án-dres a-del-PHOI} combines a formal address (“men”) with a familial one (“brothers”), rhetorically aligning Paul with his hearers as fellow members of Israel.
In context — Acts 23:1
But Paul, having looked intently at the council, said, “Men, brothers, I have conducted myself with all good conscience before God until this very day.”
