Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative connector kai {Καὶ | kaì} “and” plus the aorist egeneto {ἐγένετο | egéneto} “it happened,” a characteristic Lukan way of marking a new episode.
Spatial movement is expressed first with eis {εἰς | eis} plus the accusatives Bethphage {Βηθφαγὴ | Bethphagḗ} and Bethania {Βηθανίαν | Bēthanián}, coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaì}, indicating arrival in the region of these two villages.
