路加福音 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
施洗者約翰的傳道
3 凱撒提庇留執政第十五年，本丟·彼拉多任猶太總督，希律做加利利的分封王，他的弟弟腓力做以土利亞和特拉可尼兩地的分封王，呂撒聶做亞比利尼的分封王， 2 亞那和該亞法當大祭司。當時，撒迦利亞的兒子約翰住在曠野，上帝向他說話。 3 他就到約旦河附近宣講悔改的洗禮，使人的罪得到赦免。 4 這正應驗了以賽亞先知書上的話：「在曠野有人大聲呼喊，
『預備主的道，
修直祂的路。
5 一切山谷將被填滿，
大山小丘將被削平，
彎曲的道路要被修直，
崎嶇的路徑要被鋪平。
6 世人都要看見上帝的救恩。』」
7 約翰對前來接受他洗禮的人群說：「你們這些毒蛇的後代！誰指示你們逃避那將臨的烈怒呢？ 8 你們要結出與悔改相稱的果子。不要心裡說，『我們是亞伯拉罕的子孫。』我告訴你們，上帝可以從這些石頭中興起亞伯拉罕的子孫。 9 現在斧頭已經放在樹根上了，不結好果子的樹都要被砍下丟在火裡。」
10 眾人問道：「那麼，我們該怎麼辦呢？」
11 約翰回答說：「有兩件衣服的，應當分一件給沒有的；食物充裕的，應當分些給饑餓的。」
12 有些稅吏也來受洗，並問約翰：「老師，我們該怎麼辦呢？」
13 約翰說：「除了規定的稅以外，一分錢也不可多收。」
14 有些軍人問：「我們該怎麼辦呢？」約翰說：「不可敲詐勒索，自己有糧餉就當知足。」
15 當時的百姓正期待著基督的來臨，大家心裡都在猜想，也許約翰就是基督。 16 約翰對眾人說：「我是用水給你們施洗，但有一位能力比我更大的快來了，我就是給祂解鞋帶也不配。祂要用聖靈和火給你們施洗。 17 祂手裡拿著簸箕，要清理祂的麥場，把麥子收進倉庫，用不滅的火燒盡糠秕。」 18 約翰向眾人傳福音，講了許多勸勉的話。
19 分封王希律娶了自己弟弟的妻子希羅底，又做了許多惡事，因而受到約翰的指責， 20 可是他卻惡上加惡，將約翰關進監牢裡。
耶穌受洗
21 眾人都受了洗，耶穌也接受了洗禮。祂正在禱告的時候，天開了， 22 聖靈像鴿子一樣降在祂身上，又有聲音從天上傳來：「你是我的愛子，我甚喜悅你。」

Names of God Bible
John Prepares the Way(A)
3 It was the fifteenth year in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod ruled Galilee, and his brother Philip ruled Iturea and Trachonitis. Lysanias was the ruler of Abilene. 2 It was at the time when Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests that God spoke to John, son of Zechariah, in the desert. 3 John traveled throughout the region around the Jordan River. He told people about a baptism of repentance[a] for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As the prophet Isaiah wrote in his book,
“A voice cries out in the desert:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord!
Make his paths straight!
5 Every valley will be filled.
Every mountain and hill will be leveled.
The crooked ways will be made straight.
The rough roads will be made smooth.
6 All people will see the salvation that God gives.’”
7 Crowds of people were coming to be baptized by John. He would say to them, “You poisonous snakes! Who showed you how to flee from God’s coming anger? 8 Do those things that prove that you have turned to God and have changed the way you think and act. Don’t say, ‘Abraham is our ancestor.’ I guarantee that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones. 9 The ax is now ready to cut the roots of the trees. Any tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.”
10 The crowds asked him, “What should we do?”
11 He answered them, “Whoever has two shirts should share with the person who doesn’t have any. Whoever has food should share it too.”
12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 He told them, “Don’t collect more money than you are ordered to collect.”
14 Some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”
He told them, “Be satisfied with your pay, and never use threats or blackmail to get money from anyone.”
15 People’s hopes were rising as they all wondered whether John was the Messiah. 16 John replied to all of them, “I baptize you with water. But the one who is more powerful than I is coming. I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing[b] shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor.[c] He will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.”
18 With many other encouraging words, he told the Good News to the people.
19 John spoke out against the ruler Herod because Herod had married his own sister-in-law, Herodias. He also spoke out against Herod for all the evil things he had done. 20 So Herod added one more evil to all the others; he locked John in prison.
The Baptism of Jesus(B)
21 When all the people were baptized, Yeshua, too, was baptized. While he was praying, heaven opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit came down to him in the form of a dove. A voice from heaven said, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”
23 Yeshua was about 30 years old when he began his ministry.
