Acts 2:29

Let me speak [ε ξ ο ν ε ι π ε ι ν]. Lit., it is permitted me. Rev., I may. It is allowable for him to speak, because the facts are notorious.

Freely [μ ε τ α π α ρ ρ η σ ι α ς]. Lit., with freedom. The latter word from pan, all, and rJhsiv, speech; speaking everything, and therefore without reserve. The patriarch [π α τ ρ ι α ρ χ ο υ]. From arcw, to begin, and patria, a pedigree. Applied to David as the father of the royal family from which the Messiah sprang. It is used in the New Testament of Abraham (Hebrews 7:4), and of the sons of Jacob (Acts 7:8).

He is dead and buried [ε τ ε λ ε υ τ η σ ε κ α ι ε τ α φ η]. Aorists, denoting what occurred at a definite past time. Rev., rightly, he both died and was buried. His sepulchre is with us. Or among us [ε ν η μ ι ν]. On Mount Zion, where most of the Jewish kings were interred in the same tomb.
