1:20 The Jews expected the Messiah (the Hebrew form of the Greek word Christ) to bring spiritual leadership and political redemption to Israel (see Deut 18:15; see also the Jewish intertestamental book Psalms of Solomon).
ὡμολόγησεν καὶ οὐκ ἠρνήσατο, καὶ ὡμολόγησεν
˱he˲_confessed and not disowned but confessed
The phrase “he confessed” expresses in positive terms the same thing that he did not deny expresses in negative terms. This emphasizes that John was telling the truth and was strongly stating that he was not the Christ. Your language may have a different way of doing this. Alternate translation: “he strongly confessed” or “he solemnly testified”
