Exegesis
The imperfect esan eso {ἦσαν ἔσω | êsan ésō} supplies the background state, describing where the disciples were already situated, while the coordinated subject phrase hoi mathētai autou kai Thōmas met autōn {οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετʼ αὐτῶν | hoi mathētai autou kai Thōmâs met autōn} broadens the circle to include Thomas in the same enclosed setting.
In context — John 20:26
When eight days had passed, once again, His disciples were inside , and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, with the doors having been locked, and stood at the center and said, “Peace be to you.”
