The word "our" includes both Steven, the Jewish council to whom he spoke, and the entire audience. The word "your" is singular refers to Abraham. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
Brothers and fathers, listen to me
Stephen was being very respectful to the council in greeting them as extended family.
