Exegesis
The nominative masculine singular participles metapempsamenos {μεταπεμψάμενος | meta-pem-psá-me-nos}, parakalesas {παρακαλέσας | pa-ra-ka-lé-sas}, and aspasamenos {ἀσπασάμενος | as-pa-sá-me-nos} function as circumstantial participles in agreement with the implicit subject Paulos; they form a chain of prior or attendant actions (“having sent for,” “having encouraged,” “having greeted / having taken leave”) that lead up to the main event.
In context — Acts 20:1
After the uproar had ceased, Paul summoned the disciples, and when he had encouraged them and said farewell, he departed to go into Macedonia.
