Acts 22:2

"“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”"

Key Reflection

Paul addresses both his Jewish companions as "brothers" and those of non-Jewish background as "fathers," emphasizing a unified spiritual family under Christ. This inclusive language underscores the gospel’s message of universal redemption, inviting all to hear his testimony without prejudice.
