Exegesis
The main clause hypestrepsan eis ten Lystran kai eis Ikonion kai eis Antiocheian {ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν Λύστραν καὶ εἰς Ἰκόνιον καὶ εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν | hy-pé-strep-san eis tḕn Lý-stran kaí eis I-kó-ni-on kaí eis A-n-ti-ó-khei-an} lists the return route with repeated eis, creating a rhythmic itinerary through Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. English renders the temporal aorists as “after” clauses to preserve sequence and retains the city order to mirror the apostolic journey.
In context — Acts 14:21
And after they had proclaimed the good news in that city and had made many disciples , they turned back to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch.
