TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:1-7 Paul traveled to Ephesus after Apollos had left. Subsequently, Apollos returned to Ephesus while Paul was still working there (1 Cor 16:12). The two men had different personalities, gifts, and roles, but God worked through both of them.
• Some believers in Ephesus still had an inadequate understanding of the Christian faith (cp. Acts 18:26) and did not receive the Holy Spirit when they believed. They had accepted John’s baptism, which called for repentance from sin, but had not received Christian baptism, which included the gift of the Holy Spirit. When Paul had instructed them further, they were able to receive Christian baptism (19:5) and the Holy Spirit (19:6).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰς τί οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε

into what therefore ˱you_all˲_/were/_baptized

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: “Then what kind of baptism did you receive?”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

εἰς τὸ Ἰωάννου βάπτισμα

into into the ˱of˲_John baptism

The believers in Ephesus are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “We received the kind of baptism that John performed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωάννου

˱of˲_John

By John, the believers implicitly mean John the Baptist. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “of John the Baptist”
