Exegesis
The finite aorist middle verb proselabonto {προσελάβοντο | pro-se-LÁ-bon-to} with its object pantas hemas {πάντας ἡμᾶς | PÁN-tas hē-MÂs} “all of us” stresses a decisive, inclusive act of welcome toward every shipwrecked person.
In context — Acts 28:2
The foreigners also showed us not the usual kindness , for after kindling a fire they welcomed us all because of the rain that was upon us and because of the cold.
