Exegesis
Its object is the accusative string pantas tous eisporeuomenous pros auton {πάντας τοὺς εἰσπορευομένους πρὸς αὐτόν | pán-tas toùs eis-po-reu-o-mé-nous pròs au-tón}, where the present middle participle functions substantivally as “those who were coming in” toward Paul, and pantas heightens the inclusiveness of his reception. In translation, the two main verbal ideas are coordinated in a single sentence to reflect the Greek structure, while the durative force of the imperfect is brought out with “was receiving” in the formal rendering and a simple “welcomed” in the dynamic, both preserving the picture of sustained, open hospitality within a fixed period of confinement.
In context — Acts 28:30
And he stayed for two whole years in his own rented house , and was receiving all who came to him.
