Exegesis
The aorist participle metabās {μεταβὰς | meta-bàs} functions as a circumstantial temporal participle, “after departing,” setting up the background action for the main verb eisēlthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eis-êl-then} “he entered,” which carries the main narrative force.
In context — Acts 18:7
And after departing from there, he entered into the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God , whose house was adjoining the synagogue .
