A tak lud, który stał i słyszał powiedał, iż zagrzmiało, a drudzy mówili: Anioł mówił do niego.
A lud ten, który stał i słyszał, mówił: Zagrzmiało; a drudzy mówili: Anioł do niego mówił.
29 Wtedy tłum, który stał i to słyszał, mówił: To był grzmot; inni mówili: Anioł przemówił do Niego.
Wówczas tłum, który tam stał i słyszał, mówił, że zagrzmiało. Inni twierdzili: Anioł do Niego przemówił.
Zatem stojący tłum, kiedy to usłyszał, mówił: Był grzmot; inni mówili: Anioł do niego przemówił.
A lud ten, który stał i słyszał, mówił: Zagrzmiało; a drudzy mówili: Anioł do niego mówił.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The people therefore that stood by and heard [it],.... Some more confusedly, who were farthest off; others more distinctly, who were nearer: the first of these,
said that it thundered; as it used to do when "Bath Kol" was heard, which, as the Jews say a,
"is a voice that comes out of heaven proceeding from the midst of another voice,''
as thunder; wherefore some took this for thunder, and others for the voice of an angel out of the thunder:
others said, an angel spoke to him; these being nearer, perceived it was an articulate voice, which expressed certain distinct words, which they thought were delivered by an angel; for the Jews had a mighty notion of the discourse and conversation of angels with men, which their doctors pretended to understand; particularly R. Jochanan ben Zaccai, a Rabbi, who was living at this time, had learned their speech, and was well versed in it b.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The people - A part of the people.
It thundered - The unexpected sound of the voice would confound and amaze them; and though there is no reason to doubt that the words were spoken distinctly Matthew 3:17, yet some of the people, either from amazement or envy, would suppose that this was a mere natural phenomenon.
An angel spake - It was the opinion of many of the Jews that God did not speak to men except by the ministry of angels, Hebrews 2:2; “The word spoken by angels;” Galatians 3:19; “It was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 29. The people - said that it thundered: others - an angel spake to him. — Bishop Pearce says, Probably there was thunder as well as a voice, as in Exodus 19:16-17, and some persons, who were at a small distance, might hear the thunder without hearing the voice; while others heard the voice too; and these last said, "An angel hath spoken to him."
Wetstein supposes that the voice was in the language then in use among the Jews; which the Greeks, not understanding, took for thunder; the others, the Jews, who did understand it, said it was the voice of an angel. In Revelation 6:1, the voice of one of the living creatures is compared to thunder; and in Revelation 10:3, the voice of an angel is compared to seven thunders. The voice mentioned was probably very loud, which some heard distinctly, others indistinctly; hence the variety of opinion.
