Exegesis
The main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} “said” introduces direct discourse and governs pros Barnaban {πρὸς Βαρναβᾶν | pròs Barnâban} “to Barnabas,” while the nominative Paulos {Παῦλος | Paûlos} follows post-verbally for narrative focus.
In context — Acts 15:36
After some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord , and see how they are doing .”
