Exegesis
The object ton logon {τὸν λόγον | tón ló-gon} ‘the word, the message’ specifies the content proclaimed and is fronted only by its article, keeping the focus on this recognized, previously introduced message. In translation, the formal rendering preserves the participial relationship by using a relative clause (“those who had been scattered”) and a participial phrase (“proclaiming”), while the dynamic version unpacks dielthon with “traveled from place to place” and makes explicit the implied itinerant missionary movement, yet still centers the proclamation of the message.
In context — Acts 8:4
Therefore those who had been scattered went about proclaiming the word as good news.
