Exegesis
The initial participle proselthontes {προσελθόντες | proselthóntes} ‘having come’ with its subject hoi mathetai autou {οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ | hoi mathētai autou} ‘his disciples’ forms a temporal clause, understood as “when his disciples came,” leading into the first main verb ēran {ἦραν | êran} ‘they took up.’
In context — Matthew 14:12
And his disciples came and took up the body and buried him, and went and reported it to Jesus .
