Acts 19:4

έβάπτισεν aor. ind. act., см. Acts 19:3.
μετανοίας gen. sing. от μετάνοια (G3341) изменение мнения, покаяние (см. Matthew 3:2). Описательный gen. λέγων praes. act. part. (temp.), см. Acts 19:2. "Когда он говорил с народом"
έρχόμενον praes. med. (dep.) part. от έρχομαι (G2064) приходить. Adj. part. в роли subst. part. с предл. помещено в начале предложения для выделения, подчеркивает подготовительный характер служения Иоанна (Bruce),
μετ' αύτόν (G3326; G846) после него; то есть после Иоанна,
πιστεύσωσιν aor. conj. act., см. Acts 19:2. Conj. с ϊν (G2443) передает содержание и цель (Alford). Истинным недостатком этих учеников был не характер их крещения; они не узнали в Иисусе того, кого предвещал Иоанн как предсказанного Мессию (Polhill).
