“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:”
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say — Peter's standing (anestē, rose up) shows leadership and apostolic authority. His voice is raised (ephonesen) not in anger but to ensure hearing and command attention. The address to Jews (hoi Ioudaioi) and Jerusalem residents grounds the message in the covenant community's own theological tradition.
