Exegesis
The enclitic te links this departure to the earlier separation, rendering Barnabas’s travel to Kýpron {εἰς Κύπρον | eis Kýpron} ‘Cyprus’ as the narrative consequence. English finite verbs mirror the Greek infinitive and participle sequence to maintain clear progression.
Root and etymology
paradidomipa-ra-dí-dō-mi
“to hand over, entrust”
In context — Acts 15:39
Then a sharp disagreement occurred, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas took Mark and sailed away to Cyprus.
