Exegesis
The verse opens with the coordinating conjunction kai {Καὶ | Kaí} ‘and,’ tightly linking this movement to the preceding scene.
The main aorist verb elthon {ἦλθον | ēlthon} ‘they came’ then governs the movement expressed by the prepositional phrase eis tēn oikian Simonos kai Andreou {εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου | eis tēn oikían Símōnos kaí Andréou} ‘into the house of Simon and Andrew,’ where eis with the accusative denotes motion toward a specific destination.
The final phrase meta Iakobou kai Ioannou {μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου | metá Iakṓbou kaí Iōánnou} ‘with James and John’ uses meta plus the genitive to indicate accompanying persons. The participle-main verb structure, combined with origin and destination prepositional phrases and a closing accompaniment phrase, creates a compact transition that moves the narrative swiftly from a public worship setting to a private domestic space.
