Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσχίσθη & τὸ πλῆθος τῆς πόλεως
/was/_divided & the multitude ˱of˲_the city
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the people of the city disagreed with each other”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
σὺν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις
with the with the ambassadors

14:4 The apostolic message required a decision about belief in Jesus, and opinion was clearly split.
• Paul and Barnabas are called apostles for the first time (also in 14:14), extending the idea of apostleship beyond the Twelve. Their message was in continuity with that of the original apostles, and they were prepared to suffer hardship and persecution for it as the earlier apostles had done (5:41; 14:19; 20:24; 21:13-14; see also Rom 8:35-38; 2 Cor 4:8-17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
