Exegesis
The prepositional phrase par auton {παρʼ αὐτῶν | par au-tôn} “from them” uses para with the genitive to express source, linking the expected “something” directly to the apostles as the givers.
In context — Acts 3:5
But he directed his attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
