TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ & διασπαρέντες

the_‹ones› & /having_been/_dispersed

Luke is using the participle having been scattered, which functions as an adjective, as a noun. ULT adds the term ones to show this. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “the believers who had been scattered”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ & διασπαρέντες

the_‹ones› & /having_been/_dispersed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could state this in active form. See how you translated it in 8:1. Alternate translation: “the believers who had fled from the persecution”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εὐαγγελιζόμενοι τὸν λόγον

gospel_preaching the word

Luke is using the term word to mean the message about Jesus that these believers shared by using words. See how you translated the term in 4:4. Also see the General Notes to this chapter for the meaning of the word translated proclaiming here and many other times in this chapter. Alternate translation: “telling the good news about Jesus”
