OET interlinear ACTs 19:3

uW 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]
