Exegesis
The prepositional phrase peri mias tautes phones {περὶ μιᾶς ταύτης φωνῆς | pe-rí mi-âs taú-tēs phō-nês} uses peri with a genitive object to introduce “about this one utterance,” with mias and tautes together stressing its singular importance.
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content clause—peri anastaseōs nekrōn {περὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν | pe-rí a-na-stá-se-ōs ne-krôn}—which singles out “the resurrection of the dead” as the theological matter under review.
Root and etymology
peripi–epsilon–rho–iota
“around, concerning”
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.
