What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew Him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning Him. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham." He points here to the noble origin of the Jews.
Oecumenius
And the phrase, "to you has been sent this message," shows the Jewish courtesy; and he mentions Pilate, so that they are accused more heavily as having handed him over to a foreigner. And the phrase, "they asked," he says, received favor, as if he were unwilling; which Peter also states more clearly: judging him to be released. [CHRYSOSTOM]
Western Saints
Bede
"Men, brothers, sons of the lineage of Abraham, and those among you who fear God." In Greek it adds: "Listen."
