# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Luke, the author of this book, comments on how people responded to John and Jesus.
|
|
|
|
# When all the people ... baptism of John
|
|
|
|
This verse could be reordered to be more clear. AT: "When all the people who had been baptized by John, including the tax collectors, heard this, they declared that God is righteous"
|
|
|
|
# they declared that God is righteous
|
|
|
|
"they said that God had shown himself to be righteous" or "they declared that God had acted righteously"
|
|
|
|
# because they had been baptized with the baptism of John
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "because they had let John baptize them" or "because John had baptized them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# rejected God's purpose for themselves
|
|
|
|
"rejected what God wanted them to do" or "chose to disobey what God told them"
|
|
|
|
# they had not been baptized by John
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "they did not let John baptize them" or "they rejected John's baptism" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) |
