ἦλθον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἦλθαν πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Ῥαββί ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας ἴδε οὗτος βαπτίζει καὶ πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν)

Here, they refers to John the Baptist’s disciples, who were disputing in the previous verse. If it would be misunderstood in your language, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: [John’s disciples went]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃς ἦν μετὰ σοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ᾧ σὺ μεμαρτύρηκας

who was with you beyond the Jordan ˱to˲_whom you /have/_testified

This phrase refers to Jesus. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [Jesus, who was with you beyond the Jordan, about whom you had testified]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἴδε, οὗτος βαπτίζει

behold this_‹one› /is/_baptizing

John the Baptist’s disciples used the term behold to call John’s attention to what Jesus was doing. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use here. Alternate translation: [see how he is baptizing]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντες ἔρχονται πρὸς αὐτόν

all /are/_coming to him

Here John the Baptist’s disciples use the word all as a generalization for emphasis. If this might confuse your readers, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [it seems like everyone is going to him]
