Exegesis
The verse begins with the circumstantial participle paregenomenoi {παρεγενόμενοι | paregenó̄menoi} ‘having arrived’, framing the temporal context for the main verb paredechthesan {παρεδέχθησαν | paredéchthēsan} ‘they were received’.
In context — Acts 15:4
When they entered Jerusalem, the church, together with the apostles and the elders, received them, and they announced all that God had accomplished through them.
