Title: And They Asked Him and Said to Him, “So Why Are You Baptizing’

The text is, “καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· τί οὖν βαπτίζεις εἰ σὺ οὐκ εἶ ὁ χριστὸς οὐδὲ Ἠλίας οὐδὲ ὁ προφήτης”.

καὶ -> coordinating additive conjunction -> and

ἠρώτησαν -> third person, plural, aorist, active, indicative verb -> -> they asked

αὐτὸν -> third person, personal, masculine, singular, accusative pronoun -> him

καὶ -> coordinating additive -> conjunction -> and

εἶπαν -> third person, plural, aorist, active, indicative verb -> said

αὐτῷ -> third person, personal, masculine, singular, dative pronoun -> to him

τί -> neuter, singular, accusative, interrogative pronoun -> why

οὖν -> coordinating inferential conjunction -> so

βαπτίζεις -> second person, singular, present, active, indicative verb -> are you baptizing

εἰ -> conditional subordinating conjunction -> if

σὺ -> second person, personal, singular, nominative pronoun -> you

οὐκ -> negative particle -> neither

εἶ -> second person, singular, present, indicative verb -> are

ὁ -> -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the

χριστὸς -> masculine, singular nominative noun -> Christ

οὐδὲ -> disjunctive coordinating conjunction -> nor

Ἠλίας -> masculine, singular, nominative, proper noun -> Elijah

οὐδὲ -> disjunctive coordinating conjunction -> nor

ὁ -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the

προφήτης -> masculine, singular, nominative noun -> prophet

So they asked him and said to him, “So why are you baptizing if you are neither Elijah nor the prophet?”
