Exegesis
The aorist main verb eisēlthen {εἰσῆλθεν | ei-sêl-then} introduces the first action, followed by the directional prepositional phrase pros autous {πρὸς αὐτοὺς | pròs au-toús}, producing in English the clause “Paul went in to them,” with the subject supplied from context.
In context — Acts 17:2
As was his custom , Paul went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures .
