8:1-4 Saul: Cp. 9:1-2; 22:4; 26:9-11; Gal 1:13-14. The result of this great wave of persecution was that all the believers . . . were scattered. Rather than having their enthusiasm dampened, however, they simply spread the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.
κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους
by the houses
Alternate translation: “entering one house after another”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατὰ τοὺς οἴκους & τε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας
by the houses & both men and women
Luke may mean houses where Christians met, as described in 2:46, and he means men and women who believed in Jesus. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the houses where Christians met … believers in Jesus, both men and women”
