Ê pe-RI mi-AS TAU-tês phō-NÊS hÊS e-KE-kra-ksa en au-TOIS he-STÔS HO-ti pe-RI a-na-STA-se-ōs ne-KRÔN e-GŌ KRI-no-mai SÊ-me-ron eph hy-MÔN
Exegesis
Finally, the independent clause ego krinomai semeron eph hymon {ἐγὼ κρίνομαι σήμερον ἐφʼ ὑμῶν | e-gō krí-no-mai sḗ-me-ron eph hy-môn} front-loads ego for emphasis, uses the present passive krinomai to depict an ongoing judicial process, introduces semeron to define the timing as “today,” and employs eph hymon to situate the trial “in your presence,” identifying the listeners as the official judges. The clause sequence thus binds Paul’s legal predicament directly to his public proclamation about resurrection.
In context — Acts 24:21
Unless it is about this one voice that I cried out while standing among them , I am being judged today by you concerning the resurrection of the dead.
