Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
3:22-36 John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the one who is truly from above (3:31); this requires John’s followers to shift their allegiance to Jesus.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
αὐτοὶ ὑμεῖς
yourselves you_all
Here, You is plural and refers to all the people to whom John the Baptist is talking. Alternate translation: “You all” or “All of you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ὅτι εἶπον, οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὁ Χριστός, ἀλλ’, ὅτι ἀπεσταλμένος εἰμὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐκείνου
that ˱I˲_said not am I the Messiah but ¬that /having_been/_sent_out ˱I˲_am before that_‹one›
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “that I said that I am not the Christ but that I have been sent before that one”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀπεσταλμένος εἰμὶ ἔμπροσθεν ἐκείνου
/having_been/_sent_out ˱I˲_am before that_‹one›
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God sent me before that one”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐκείνου
that_‹one›
Here, that one refers to Jesus, whom John has called “the Christ” in the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus” or “the Christ”
