Exegesis
The sentence begins with the demonstrative plus participle construction ekeinoi de exelthontes {ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ἐξελθόντες | e-keî-noi dè ek-sel-THÓN-tes}, which functions as a circumstantial clause, “those, having gone out,” providing the temporal and situational frame for the main action.
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.
