Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “John testified, and he said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὡς περιστερὰν
as /a/_dove
This phrase is a simile. As Luke 3:22 indicates, the Holy Spirit came down with an appearance that resembled a dove. Alternate translation: “resembling a dove”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐπ’ αὐτόν
on him
Here, him refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “upon Jesus”
1:32 John the Baptist’s second testimony (see 1:19-23) told what happened when Jesus was baptized.

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.
