Exegesis
The next clause summarizes John’s activity with the aorist ebaptisen {ἐβάπτισεν | e-báp-ti-sen} ‘baptized’ and its object baptisma metanoias {βάπτισμα μετανοίας | báp-tis-ma me-ta-noí-as} ‘baptism of repentance,’ where the genitive metanoias specifies the character of the baptism.
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 .”
