Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι Ἰωάννης ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν

that John /was/_raised from /the/_dead

Luke reports in 3:20 that Herod put John in prison. When John sends messengers to Jesus in 7:18–19, he does this from prison. But by this point in the story, John is dead, because Herod has executed him. Luke assumes that his readers will know that. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could tell them explicitly. Alternate translation: “that John the Baptist, whom Herod had executed, had risen from the dead”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωάννης

John

Luke assumes that his readers will know he is referring to John the Baptist. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “John the Baptist”
