According to Les, to whom did the scattered believers preach in Acts 8:4?
The scattered believers in Acts 8:4 went everywhere preaching the Word, which is the Old Testament, and they preached to none but Jews only. Leviticus 19 clarifies that restriction, while Acts 8:4 itself does not give the same detail. Their preaching remained exclusively Jewish.
Les explains that the same people scattered abroad in Acts 8:4 are described by Leviticus 19 as preaching the Word—the Old Testament—to none but Jew only. Acts 8:4 says they went everywhere preaching the Word, but it does not give the same clarification that Leviticus 19 does. The passage then shifts to a change of venue, as Philip goes to Samaria.
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
