Exegesis
The verb apepleusan {ἀπέπλευσαν | a-pé-pleu-san} ‘they sailed away’ takes the accusative phrase eis Antiocheian {εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν | eis An-ti-ó-khei-an} to indicate the destination.
The prepositional phrase eis to ergon ho eplerosan {εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ ἐπλήρωσαν | eis tó ér-gon hó e-plḗ-rō-san} marks purpose and completion, with the aorist verb eplerosan presenting the work as a finished action. The translation preserves the relative and periphrastic structure in English, capturing both commissioning and fulfillment.
In context — Acts 14:26
And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled .
