Exegesis
The second clause employs the aorist passive verb eulisthe {ηὐλίσθη | ēulísthē} “lodged” with the adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | ekeî} “there,” denoting the result of the journey—finding rest. English renders the participial action as a temporal clause (“Then He left them”) and maintains the sequence of main verbs to reflect the Greek word order and narrative flow.
In context — Matthew 21:17
Then He left them, went outside the city to Bethany , and stayed there.
