Exegesis
Finally, the infinitive euangelísasthai {εὐαγγελίσασθαι | euangelísasthai} expresses the purpose “to bring good news to them.” This structure of temporal clause, main action, causal participle, and purpose clause is retained in English to preserve both narrative flow and theological emphasis.
In context — Acts 16:10
When he saw the vision, we immediately sought to set out for Macedonia, reasoning that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
