3:21 As he was praying: Luke emphasizes Jesus’ trust and reliance on God in prayer (5:16; 6:12; 9:18, 28; 11:1; 22:32, 41, 44; 23:34, 46).
• the heavens opened: This image was a sign of God’s presence (Isa 64:1), divine revelation (Ezek 1:1; John 1:51), and the end of an age (Rev 4:1; 15:5; 19:11).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
ἐγένετο δὲ
˱it˲_became and
The previous verse says that Herod put John in prison. It might be helpful to make it clear that the account that starts in this verse happened before John was arrested. UST does that by starting this verse with “but before Herod did that.”
Note 2 topic: writing-newevent
ἐγένετο δὲ
˱it˲_became and
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
βαπτισθῆναι ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν
/to_be/_baptized all the people
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “while John was baptizing all the people who came to him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν
all the people
The phrase all the people is a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: “all the people who came to him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καὶ Ἰησοῦ βαπτισθέντος
and Jesus /having_been/_baptized
You could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “John also baptized Jesus”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀνεῳχθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν
/to_be/_opened_up ¬the heaven
You could express this with an active form. This was more than a simple clearing of the clouds, but it is not clear exactly what the expression means, so it may be best not to try to specify what happened too exactly. Alternate translation: “the sky opened up”
