| NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point. 2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause. 3 sn John refers here to John the Baptist. 4 tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose. |
