Exegesis
The answer reuses eis {Εἰς | Eis} to maintain parallelism and employs the genitive Iōannou {Ἰωάννου | Iō-án-nou} to specify whose baptism, with baptisma {βάπτισμα | báp-tis-ma} as the head noun. This repetition underscores the alignment created by the preposition and preserves the technical term in both question and answer.
Root and etymology
Iōannēsiō-annēs
“Yahweh is gracious”
In context — Acts 19:3
And he said to them, “What, then, were you baptized into?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism .”
