TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:32 John the Baptist’s second testimony (see 1:19-23) told what happened when Jesus was baptized.
• In the Old Testament, kings and prophets were anointed with the Holy Spirit, but these anointings were temporary and tied to a particular office or occasion. By contrast, with the Spirit’s resting on him, Jesus’ anointing was permanent (see 3:34).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἐμαρτύρησεν Ἰωάννης λέγων

testified John saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [John testified, and he said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ὡς περιστερὰν

as /a/_dove

This phrase is a simile. As Luke 3:22 indicates, the Holy Spirit came down with an appearance that resembled a dove. Alternate translation: [resembling a dove]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐπ’ αὐτόν

on him

Here, him refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [upon Jesus]
