Exegesis

The prepositional phrase dia ton epakolouthounton semeion {διὰ τῶν ἐπακολουθούντων σημείων | di-á tôn e-pa-ko-lou-THOÚN-ton sē-meí-on} expresses means: the confirmation happens “through the signs that accompany.” The participle epakolouthounton, placed with semeion in the genitive, underscores that these signs consistently “follow along after” the proclamation. In translation, the participles synergountos and bebaiountos are rendered with finite verbs (“working,” “confirming”) coordinated to preserve the sense of ongoing divine action alongside the completed missionary movement of the disciples.

In contextMark 16:20

But those who had gone out preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
