translationNotes

  • This continues the account of how Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist.
  • **After he was baptized ** - After he was baptized - This could be translated by saying: "After John baptized Jesus."
  • the heavens were opened to him - Alternative translation: "he saw the sky open" or "he saw the heavens open." (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)
  • **coming down like a dove ** - coming down like a dove - This can 1) be a plain statement that the Spirit was in the form of a dove (see UDB) or 2) be a simile that compares the Spirit coming down upon Jesus gently, the way a dove would. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile)
  • Behold - This marks the beginning of another event in the larger story. It may involve different people than the previous events. Your language may have a way of doing this.
