Exegesis
The verb apedéxanto {ἀπεδέξαντο | apedéxanto} ‘they received’ in the middle voice suggests personal involvement or warmth, with hēmas {ἡμᾶς | hēmas} ‘us’ as the object and hoi adelphoí {οἱ ἀδελφοί | hoi adelphoí} ‘the brothers’ as the subject. In English, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“When we arrived”), preserving the sequence of arrival followed by a warm welcome.
In context — Acts 21:17
When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly .
