Exegesis
The main verb ēlthan {ἦλθαν | ḕl-than} “they came” carries the primary narrative action, complemented by the prepositional phrase eis apantēsin hēmin {εἰς ἀπάντησιν ἡμῖν | eis a-pán-tē-sin hē-mîn}, an idiomatic construction literally “into a meeting to us,” rendered as “came to meet us.”
In context — Acts 28:15
And from there the brothers , when they heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appius Forum and Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he gave thanks to God and received courage.
