The Greek in Matthew 3:6 that is translated as «confessing their sins» or similar in English is translated in the German New Testament translation by Berger / Nord (publ. 1999) with Sünden bekennen und um Vergebung bitten or «confess sins and ask for forgiveness.» The translators explain (p. 576): «Translations with two verbs. The Greek Verb does not only mean ‘confess’ but also ‘ask for forgiveness.'»
