Exegesis
This is followed by two aorist active optatives, pselapheseian {ψηλαφήσειαν | psē-la-phḗ-sei-an} and heuroien {εὕροιεν | heú-roi-en}, which together depict people “groping” and “finding,” with the optative mood highlighting possibility rather than certainty.
In context — Acts 17:27
To seek God , if then indeed they might feel after Him and might find Him, and indeed He is not far from each one of us.
