Exegesis
The aorist participle elthon {ἐλθών | el-thṓn} “having come” functions temporally, preceding the main aorist indicative heuren {εὗρεν | heû-ren} “he found,” so the structure is “when He had come, He found.”
Root and etymology
proerchomaipi–rho–omicron–epsilon–rho–chi–omicron–mu–alpha–iota
“to go forward, advance”
In context — Mark 14:40
And again, having come, He found them sleeping , for their eyes were being weighed down, and they did not know what they might answer Him.
