| 39. Linguistic Exegesis egeneto {ἐγένετο | egéneto} ‘it happened’ marks the narrative shift, with de {δὲ | dè} signaling a related episode. Paroxysmós {παροξυσμὸς | paroxysmós} ‘sharp disagreement’ follows the verb to emphasize conflict as a new development. Hṓste {ὥστε | hṓste} introduces the result infinitive apokhōristhēnai {ἀποχωρισθῆναι | apokhōristhēnai} ‘to be separated’, whose subject autoús {αὐτοὺς | autoús} ‘them’ and the phrase ap’ allḗlōn {ἀπʼ ἀλλήλων | ap’ allḗlōn} ‘from one another’ convey mutual division. In the second infinitival clause, tòn te Barnabân {τόν τε Βαρναβᾶν | tòn te Barnabân} ‘Barnabas’ serves as the implied subject of ekpleûsai {ἐκπλεῦσαι | ekpleûsai} ‘to set sail’, with the participle paralabónta {παραλαβόντα | paralabónta} ‘having taken’ describing his preceding action of taking Márkon {Μᾶρκον | Márkon} ‘Mark’. 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. |
