1:19-51 John’s Gospel gives limited attention to John the Baptist compared to the synoptic Gospels (Matt 3:1-6; Mark 1:2-6; Luke 1:1-24, 57-80; 3:1-13). Yet the apostle John wants us to see that John the Baptist correctly identified and exalted Jesus. John the Baptist’s disciples leave him and follow Jesus; Jesus took over the ministry John began, increasing as John decreased (John 3:30).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς
/having/_seen them
Here, them refers to the two disciples of John the Baptist who were mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “having seen John’s two disciples”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθοῦντας
/having/_seen them following
Here John is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: “having seen them following him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
ποῦ μένεις
where ˱you˲_/are/_remaining
Alternate translation: “where are you spending the night”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ποῦ μένεις?
where ˱you˲_/are/_remaining
This question is the answer to the question Jesus just asked in the previous sentence. It is a way for the two men to imply that they would like to have a private conversation with Jesus at the place where he was staying. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “where are you staying? We would like to speak with you privately.”
