Exegesis
Direct speech begins with the double vocative andres adelphoi {Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί | Án-dres a-del-phoí} “men, brothers,” which both acknowledges the male assembly and stresses fraternal solidarity with them as fellow Jews.
In context — Acts 23:6
But when Paul perceived that one part was Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.”
