Acts 15:39

Context
15:39 They had 1  a sharp disagreement, 2  so that they parted company. Barnabas took along 3  Mark and sailed away to Cyprus, 4 

1 tn Grk “There happened a sharp disagreement.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

2 tn BDAG 780 s.v. παροξυσμός 2 has “sharp disagreement” here; L&N 33.451 has “sharp argument, sharp difference of opinion.”

3 tn Grk “taking along Mark sailed.” The participle παραλαβόντα (paralabonta) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

4 sn Cyprus is a large island in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Asia Minor.
