Exegesis
The infinitives elthein and heurein in elthein eis Epheson kai heurein tinas mathētas {ἐλθεῖν εἰς Ἔφεσον καὶ εὑρεῖν τινας μαθητὰς | el-theîn eis É-phe-son kaí heu-reîn tí-nas ma-thē-tàs} are coordinated and depend on egeneto, narrating the key outcomes: arrival in Ephesus and the finding of certain disciples. In English, these non-finite constructions are rendered as finite clauses (“Paul … came … and found …”) to maintain clarity and natural flow, while preserving the temporal nuance signaled by the articular infinitive and the sequential force of the aorist participle plus infinitives.
In context — Acts 19:1
And it happened, while Apollos was in Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus and found some disciples .
