Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominative cluster hoi men oun apodexamenoi {οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀποδεξάμενοι | hoí men oûn apodexámenoi}, which functions as the subject of the following finite verbs. The particle pair men oun marks a discourse transition, signaling that this statement draws an inferential conclusion from the preceding proclamation. The aorist middle participle apodexamenoi portrays the reception of the message as a completed act that characterizes the group being described.
