Exegesis
The noun theós {θεός | theós} ‘God’ is the subject of epesképsato {ἐπεσκέψατο | epesképsato} ‘visited’, which takes the infinitive labeîn laón {λαβεῖν λαὸν | labeîn laón} ‘to take a people’ as purpose.
In context — Acts 15:14
Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for His name.
