    I am interested to know, who told you that the Greek adjective, πᾶς is "masculine and feminine? It is actually just masculine. The feminine is, πᾶσα, and the neuter is, πᾶν. However, like the noun ἄνθρωπος, which is also masculine in gender, is "generic" and used to include both sexes.

    That was a quote from Thayer's Greek Lexicon ... the section that included Acts 2:21.
    I don't think it was telling us that the adjetive was masculine and feminine, I believe that it was pointing out that that usage was gender inclusive and 'everyone' in the listed verses includes both men and women.
    Thayer was making the same point that you were.
