Exegesis
The genitive absolute tou kyriou synergountos kai ton logon bebaiountos {τοῦ κυρίου συνεργοῦντος καὶ τὸν λόγον βεβαιοῦντος | tou ku-rí-ou sy-ner-GOUN-tos kai ton ló-gon be-bai-OÚN-tos} introduces a parallel stream of action: while the disciples preach, the Lord simultaneously “works together” and “confirms the word.” The genitive absolute construction keeps the Lord’s activity grammatically distinct yet tightly coordinated with the disciples’, highlighting divine-human collaboration.
In context — Mark 16:20
But those who had gone out preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
