Kisah Para Rasul 15:38-39

15:38 but Paul insisted ¹  that they should not take along this one who had left them in Pamphylia ²  and had not accompanied them in the work. 15:39 They had ³  a sharp disagreement, ⁴  so that they parted company. Barnabas took along ⁵  Mark and sailed away to Cyprus, ⁶ 

[15:38]  ¹ tn BDAG 94 s.v. ἀξιόω 2.a has “he insisted (impf.) that they should not take him along” for this phrase.

[15:38]  ² sn Pamphylia was a province in the southern part of Asia Minor. See Acts 13:13, where it was mentioned previously.

[15:39]  ³ 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.

[15:39]  ⁴ tn BDAG 780 s.v. παροξυσμός 2 has “sharp disagreement” here; L&N 33.451 has “sharp argument, sharp difference of opinion.”

[15:39]  ⁵ tn Grk “taking along Mark sailed.” The participle παραλαβόντα (paralabonta) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[15:39]  ⁶ sn Cyprus is a large island in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Asia Minor.
