Exegesis
The relative clause peri hes elpidos {περὶ ἧς ἐλπίδος | pe-rì hēs el-pí-dos} ‘concerning which hope’ shifts the focus from Israel’s service to Paul’s legal situation, with the passive verb enkaloumai {ἐγκαλοῦμαι | en-ka-loû-mai} ‘I am accused’ and the agent phrase hypo Ioudaiōn {ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων | hy-pò Iou-daí-ōn} ‘by Jews’ naming the source of the charges.
In context — Acts 26:7
To which our twelve tribes , serving with earnest devotion night and day, hope to attain; concerning which hope I am accused by Jews, O king.
