Men, brethren, and fathers - A Hebrew form of expression for brethren and fathers: for two classes only are addressed. See the note on Act 7:2. Hear ye my defense - Μου της απολογιας, This apology of mine; in this sense the word apology was anciently understood: hence the Apologies of the primitive fathers, i.e. their defenses of the Christian religion. And this is as proper literal meaning; but it is now used only as implying an excuse for improper conduct. That this is an abuse of the term requires no proof.

(Acts 22:1-30) when they heard . . . the Hebrew tongue--(See on Act 21:40). they kept the more silence--They could have understood him in Greek, and doubtless fully expected the renegade to address them in that language, but the sound of their holy mother tongue awed them into deeper silence.
Quelle öffnen ↗Men, brethren, and fathers,.... A common form of address used by the Jews; see Act 7:2 but that the apostle should introduce his speech to these people in this manner, after they had treated him so inhumanly, as to drag him out of the temple, and beat him so unmercifully, is remarkable, and worthy of observation, when they scarcely deserved the name of "men"; and yet he not only gives them this, but calls them "brethren", they being his countrymen and kinsmen according to the flesh; and fathers, there being some among them, who might be men in years, and even members of the sanhedrim, and elders of the people, that were now got among the crowd: this shows how ready the apostle was to put up with affronts, and to forgive injuries done him: hear ye my defence, which I make now unto you; in opposition to the charges brought against him, of speaking ill of the people of the Jews, the law of Moses, and of the temple, and in order to clear himself of these imputations, and vindicate his character and conduct.

With what an admirable composure and presence of mind he addresses himself to speak. Never was poor man set upon in a more tumultuous manner, nor with more rage and fury; and yet, in what he said, 1. There appears o fright, but his mind is sedate and composed. Thus he makes his own words good, None of these things move me; and David's (Psa 3:6), I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against me round about. 2. There appears no passion. Though the suggestions against him were all frivolous and unjust, though it would have vexed any man alive to be charged with profaning the temple just then when he was contriving and designing to show his respect to it, yet he breaks out into no angry expressions, but is led as a lamb to the slaughter. II. What respectful titles he gives even to those who thus abused him, and how humbly he craves their attention: "Men, brethren, and fathers, Act 22:1. To you, O men, I call; men, that should hear reason, and be ruled by it; men, from whom one may expect humanity. You, brethren of the common people; you, fathers of the priests." Thus he lets them know that he was one of them, and had not renounced his relation to the Jewish nation, but still had a kindness and concern for it. Note, Though we must not give flattering titles to any, yet we ought to give titles of due respect to all; and those we would do good to we should endeavour not to provoke. Though he was rescued out of their hands, and was taken under the protection of the chief captain, yet he does not fall foul upon them, with, Hear now, you rebels; but compliments them with, Men, brethren, and…
Quelle öffnen ↗22:1-21 Paul’s premier defense of his life and faith before his own people in Jerusalem illustrates his flexibility as a missionary, just as his speech to the Greek philosophers in Athens had done (17:22-31; see 1 Cor 9:20-23). Paul begins by recognizing his kinship with his people, explaining his Jewish background and training under the noted rabbi Gamaliel the Elder and describing his zealous desire to honor God in everything, which they shared (Acts 22:1-3). Paul then describes his persecution of Christians (22:4-5), the revelation of Jesus to him on the way to Damascus (22:6-10), and his conversion (22:11-16). Paul ends his speech by describing his conversation with the Lord in the Temple. The Lord had predicted the Jews’ rejection of the message and had sent Paul to the Gentiles (22:17-21).

Er aber sprach: Ihr Männer, Brüder und Väter, höret! Der Gott der Herrlichkeit erschien unserm Vater Abraham, als er in Mesopotamien war, bevor er in Haran wohnte, und sprach zu ihm:
Bei meiner ersten Verantwortung vor Gericht stand mir niemand bei, sondern alle verließen mich; es sei ihnen nicht zugerechnet!
Da sah Paulus den Hohen Rat fest an und sprach: Ihr Männer und Brüder, ich habe mit allem guten Gewissen Gott zu dienen gesucht bis auf diesen Tag.
Ihr Männer und Brüder, Söhne des Geschlechtes Abrahams, und die unter euch Gott fürchten, an euch ist dieses Wort des Heils gesandt.
Da aber Paulus wußte, daß der eine Teil aus Sadduzäern, der andere aus Pharisäern bestand, rief er in die Ratsversammlung hinein: Ihr Männer und Brüder, ich bin ein Pharisäer und eines Pharisäers Sohn; wegen der Hoffnung und der Auferstehung der Toten werde ich gerichtet!
Es begab sich aber nach drei Tagen, daß er die Vornehmsten der Juden zusammenrief. Und als sie versammelt waren, sprach er zu ihnen: Ihr Männer und Brüder, wiewohl ich nichts wider das Volk oder die Gebräuche der Väter getan habe, bin ich gefangen von Jerusalem aus in die Hände der Römer überliefert worden.
Paulus aber gab auf den Wink des Landpflegers folgende Antwort: Da ich weiß, daß du seit vielen Jahren unter diesem Volke Richter bist, so verteidige ich meine Sache guten Mutes,
jene aber, die es aus Parteisucht tun, verkündigen Christus nicht lauter, da sie beabsichtigen, meinen Banden noch Trübsal hinzuzufügen.
