Exegesis
The sequence eleemosynas poieson {ἐλεημοσύνας ποιήσων | e-le-ē-mo-sý-nas poi-ḗ-sōn} consists of the future active participle poiēson governing the object eleemosynas, functioning circumstantially to express intended purpose: Paul came in order “to do” or “to provide” alms.
In context — Acts 24:17
But after many years I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings.
