Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
κατήντησαν δὲ εἰς Ἔφεσον, κἀκείνους κατέλιπεν αὐτοῦ
˱they˲_arrived and to Ephesus and_those ˱he˲_left there
The pronoun they refers to Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila, the pronoun them refers to Priscilla and Aquila, and the pronoun he refers to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the three of them came down to Ephesus and Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κατήντησαν & εἰς Ἔφεσον
˱they˲_arrived & to Ephesus
Luke says that Paul, Priscilla, and Aquila came down to Ephesus because that was the customary way in this culture of describing a person arriving somewhere after traveling by sea. Alternate translation: [they sailed to Ephesus]
18:19-23 Paul made a quick stop at Ephesus, the most important city in the Roman province of Asia. There he left the others behind, including Priscilla and Aquila (18:26). He sailed to Judea, landing at Caesarea, the headquarters of the Roman forces of occupation. After a visit to the church at Jerusalem, Paul returned to Antioch, the church that had originally commissioned him. This marked the end of his second missionary journey. In Antioch, he spent a rewarding time of reporting what God had done through him and his colleagues, sharing the excitement and challenges of their work with the home church. Then after . . . some time, Paul began his third missionary journey. He went by land rather than by sea, traveling through Galatia and Phrygia and revisiting believers whom he had led to faith in Christ on his previous trips. It was important to him that these young converts not be left to founder and shipwreck their faith (see Eph 6:10-20; 1 Tim 1:18-20; 2 Tim 1:15; 4:10).
