Exegesis
Two aorist participles, exelthontes {ἐξελθόντες | exelthóntes} ‘having gone out’ and eiselthontes {εἰσελθόντες | eiselthóntes} ‘having entered,’ precede the indicatives, ēlthómen {ἤλθομεν | ēlthómen} ‘we came’ and emeínamen {ἐμείναμεν | emeínamen} ‘we stayed,’ marking prior actions.
Finally, emeínamen par autṓ {ἐμείναμεν παρʼ αὐτῷ | emeínamen par autṓ} ‘we stayed with him’ uses par with the dative to express lodging and hospitality. The participles are rendered with narrative clauses (e.g., “upon entering”) to preserve sequence and theological nuance.
In context — Acts 21:8
On the following day we departed and arrived in Caesarea, and upon entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven , we stayed with him .
