Exegesis
The verse opens with the dative phrase humin proton {ὑμῖν πρῶτον | hy-mîn prô-ton}, which frontloads the indirect object and the adverb “first,” emphasizing that the hearers are the initial recipients of the Servant’s ministry and highlighting Israel’s priority in the unfolding of salvation history.
In context — Acts 3:26
To you first, God , having raised up His servant , sent Him to bless you by turning each of you away from your evil deeds .
