Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal clause hote de anebesan ek tou hydatos {ὅτε δὲ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος | hó-te dè a-né-bē-san ek toû hý-da-tos} “when they had come up out of the water,” using the aorist verb anebesan to mark a completed action that sets the time frame for what follows.
In context — Acts 8:39
When they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no longer, for he went on his way rejoicing.
