Exegesis
The verse begins with the nominative participial phrase hoi men oun propempthentes {οἱ μὲν οὖν προπεμφθέντες | hoí mèn oûn propempthéntes} ‘so then, the ones having been sent forward’, functioning as circumstantial background.
In context — Acts 15:3
Thus, after the assembly commissioned them, they moved through Phoenicia and Samaria, offering a thorough account of the conversion of the Gentiles, and they brought abundant joy to all the brothers.
