translationNotes
- Luke, the author of this book, comments on how people responded to John and Jesus.
- they declared that God is righteous - "they said that God had shown himself to be righteous" or "they declared that God had acted righteously"
- who had been baptized with the baptism of John - "who had been baptized by John" or "whom John had baptized"
- who were not baptized by him - "whom John had not baptized" or "who had refused to be baptized by John" or "who had rejected John's baptism"
- Who were not baptized by him, rejected God's wisdom for themselves - This seems to imply that because they had rejected John's baptism, were not spiritually prepared to accept God's will for them.
- rejected God's wisdom for themselves - "chose to disobey what God told them" or "chose not to believe God's will"
- God's wisdom for them - "God's purpose for them" or "God's plan for them" or "what God wanted them to do"
