Exegesis
Two aorist participles, apotaxamenos {ἀποταξάμενος | apotaxámenos} ‘having bid farewell’ and eipon {εἰπών | eipṓn} ‘having said,’ function as circumstantial participles that provide background actions completed before the main verb. The direct speech is introduced without a finite verb of speaking, with eipon supplying that sense.
In context — Acts 18:21
But after bidding them farewell and saying, “I will return to you again, if God is willing,” he set sail from Ephesus .
