Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute construction kyklosantōn de tōn mathētōn auton {κυκλωσάντων δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτὸν | kyklōsántōn de tōn mathētōn autón} ‘as the disciples had surrounded him’, which provides a circumstantial background clause.
In context — Acts 14:20
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose and entered the city, and on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
