Exegesis
The aorist indicative ekeryxan {ἐκήρυξαν | e-kḗ-ru-xan} is the main verb, summarizing the disciples’ preaching activity, while pantachou {πανταχοῦ | pan-ta-KHOU} broadens the scope to “everywhere,” giving the verse a universal missionary horizon.
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.
