General Information:

Luke, the author of this book, comments on how people responded to John and Jesus.

When all the people ... baptism of John

This verse could be reordered to be more clear. AT: "When all the people who had been baptized by John, including the tax collectors, heard this, they declared that God is righteous"

they declared that God is righteous

"they said that God had shown himself to be righteous" or "they declared that God had acted righteously"

because they had been baptized with the baptism of John

This can be stated in active form. AT: "because they had let John baptize them" or "because John had baptized them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
