OET interlinear ACTs 19:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἰς τί οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε

into what (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἶπεν τέ εἰς τί Οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε οἱ Δέ εἶπαν Εἰς τό Ἰωάννου βάπτισμα)

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 (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἶπεν τέ εἰς τί Οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε οἱ Δέ εἶπαν Εἰς τό Ἰωάννου βάπτισμα)

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]
