Exegesis
The verse begins with the combination hoi men oun {Οἱ μὲν οὖν | Hoi mèn oûn} ‘so then, those indeed’, which connects logically with the preceding persecution and scattering and foregrounds this group as the topic.
In context — Acts 8:4
Therefore those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the word as good news.
