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: grammar-connect-logic-result
ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις?
because ˱I˲_said ˱to˲_you that ˱I˲_saw you beneath the fig_tree ˱you˲_/are/_believing
If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the result for the reason that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Do you believe because I said to you that I saw you underneath the fig tree”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις?
because ˱I˲_said ˱to˲_you that ˱I˲_saw you beneath the fig_tree ˱you˲_/are/_believing
John records Jesus using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You believe because I said, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree’!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
πιστεύεις
˱you˲_/are/_believing
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that this phrase would need in many languages in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “do you believe that I am the Messiah”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μείζω τούτων
greater_‹than› these_‹things›
Jesus uses the plural pronoun these to refer to a general category of something, in this case the miraculous display of supernatural knowledge that took place in 1:48. Alternate translation: “greater things than this type of thing” or “greater things that this kind of miracle”
