Discovery BoxActs 2:14 
Context2:14 But Peter stood up 1 with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea 2 and all you who live in Jerusalem, 3 know this 4 and listen carefully to what I say.
Acts 2:22
Context2:22 “Men of Israel, 5 listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, 6 wonders, and miraculous signs 7 that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know –
Acts 2:29
Context2:29 “Brothers, 8 I can speak confidently 9 to you about our forefather 10 David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
1 tn Grk “standing up.” The participle σταθείς (staqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
2 tn Or “You Jewish men.” “Judea” is preferred here because it is paired with “Jerusalem,” a location. This suggests locality rather than ethnic background is the primary emphasis in the context. As for “men,” the Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, where “all” who live in Jerusalem are addressed, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.
3 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.
4 tn Grk “let this be known to you.” The passive construction has been translated as an active for stylistic reasons.
5 tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.
6 tn Or “miraculous deeds.”
7 tn Again, the context indicates the miraculous nature of these signs, and this is specified in the translation.
8 tn Since this represents a continuation of the address beginning in v.14 and continued in v. 22, “brothers” has been used here rather than a generic expression like “brothers and sisters.”
9 sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.
10 tn Or “about our noted ancestor,” “about the patriarch.”
