Exegesis
The verse begins with two aorist participles, elthon {ἐλθὼν | elthṓn} ‘having come’ and epistas {ἐπιστὰς | epistàs} ‘having stood by’, which function as circumstantial participles providing background actions that precede the main finite verb eipen {εἶπέν | eîpen} ‘he said’. This creates a stepwise narrative: approach, physical presence, and then speech.

“to come”
In context — Acts 22:13
Having come to me and standing by me, he said to me, “Saul, brother , receive your sight .” And I, at that very hour, received my sight and looked at him.
