Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis ten Makedonian {εἰς τὴν Μακεδονίαν | eis tēn Ma-ke-do-ní-an} specifies the destination of the sending.
The final prepositional phrase eis ten Asian {εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν | eis tēn A-sí-an} locates this ongoing presence in the Roman province of Asia. The Greek maintains the participial construction to present a sequence: first the sending action, then the remaining action; the English renderings preserve this temporal relationship by making the participle into a temporal clause (“after sending” / “after he sent”) while keeping the emphasis on the subject who stays behind.
In context — Acts 19:22
And after sending into Macedonia two of those serving him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed for a time in Asia .
