Exegesis
The appositional clause tout’ estin eis ton Iesoun {τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν | toût’ é-stin eis tón Iē-soûn} ‘that is, into Jesus’ clarifies that the “coming one” is Jesus Himself, functioning as an explanatory equivalence. In translation, the hina-clause is rendered with “that they should believe” in the formal version and “to put their faith” in the dynamic version to reflect purpose and volition, while the explanatory tout’ estin is preserved with “that is” to maintain the explicit identification of Jesus as the focus of faith.
In context — Acts 19:4
And Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance for the people, saying to the people that they should believe in the One coming after him—that is, in Jesus .”
