Exegesis
The participle epistamenos {ἐπιστάμενος | epistámenos}, modified by monon {μόνον | mónon}, carries a concessive sense, leading to a clause rendered by “although”/“even though” in English to reflect the limitation to only John’s baptism in monon to baptisma ioannou {μόνον τὸ βάπτισμα Ἰωάννου | mónon tò báptisma Iōánnou}. The formal construction preserves aspectual nuance with “had been instructed” and “being fervent,” while the dynamic uses “had received instruction” and “with a passionate spirit” for readability.
