施洗约翰在旷野传道

恺撒提庇留在位第十五年,本丢·彼拉多犹太巡抚,希律加利利分封的王,他的兄弟腓力以土利亚特拉可尼地方分封的王,吕撒聂亚比利尼分封的王, 亚那该亚法做大祭司。那时,撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里,神的话临到他。 他就来到约旦河一带地方,宣讲悔改的洗礼,使罪得赦。 正如先知以赛亚书上所记的话说:“在旷野有人声喊着说:‘预备主的道,修直他的路! 一切山洼都要填满,大小山冈都要削平,弯弯曲曲的地方要改为正直,高高低低的道路要改为平坦。 凡有血气的,都要见神的救恩。’”

约翰对那出来要受他洗的众人说:“毒蛇的种类!谁指示你们逃避将来的愤怒呢? 你们要结出果子来,与悔改的心相称!不要自己心里说:‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们,神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。 现在斧子已经放在树根上,凡不结好果子的树就砍下来,丢在火里。” 10 众人问他说:“这样,我们当做什么呢?” 11 约翰回答说:“有两件衣裳的,就分给那没有的,有食物的也当这样行。” 12 又有税吏来要受洗,问他说:“夫子,我们当做什么呢?” 13 约翰说:“除了例定的数目,不要多取。” 14 又有兵丁问他说:“我们当做什么呢?”约翰说:“不要以强暴待人,也不要讹诈人,自己有钱粮就当知足。”

必有圣灵与火的洗

15 百姓指望基督来的时候,人都心里猜疑或者约翰是基督。 16 约翰说:“我是用水给你们施洗。但有一位能力比我更大的要来,我就是给他解鞋带也不配,他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 17 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里,把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。”

约翰责备希律被囚

18 约翰又用许多别的话劝百姓,向他们传福音。 19 只是分封的王希律因他兄弟之妻希罗底的缘故,并因他所行的一切恶事,受了约翰的责备, 20 又另外添了一件,就是把约翰收在监里。

耶稣受洗

21 众百姓都受了洗,耶稣也受了洗,正祷告的时候天就开了, 22 圣灵降临在他身上,形状仿佛鸽子;又有声音从天上来说:“你是我的爱子,我喜悦你。”

施洗约翰(A)

凯撒提庇留执政第十五年,本丢.彼拉多作犹太总督,希律作加利利的分封王,他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地区的分封王,吕撒尼亚作亚比利尼的分封王, 亚那和该亚法作大祭司的时候, 神的话临到撒迦利亚的儿子,在旷野的约翰。 他就来到约旦河一带地方,宣讲悔改的洗礼,使罪得赦。 正如以赛亚先知的书上写着:

“在旷野有呼喊者的声音:

‘预备主的道,

修直他的路!

一切洼谷都当填满,

大小山冈都要削平!

弯弯曲曲的改为正直,

高高低低的修成平坦!

所有的人都要看见 神的救恩。’”

约翰对那出来要受他洗礼的群众说:“毒蛇所生的啊,谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢? 应当结出果子来,与悔改的心相称;你们心里不要说:‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来。 现在斧头已经放在树根上,所有不结好果子的树,就砍下来,丢在火里。” 10 群众问他:“那么,我们该作甚么呢?” 11 他回答:“有两件衣服的,当分给那没有的,有食物的也当照样作。” 12 又有税吏来要受洗,问他:“老师,我们当作甚么呢?” 13 他说:“除了规定的以外,不可多收。” 14 兵丁也问他:“至于我们,我们又应当作甚么呢?”他说:“不要恐吓,不要敲诈,当以自己的粮饷为满足。”

15 那时众人正在期待,人人心里都在猜想会不会约翰就是基督。 16 约翰对众人说:“我用水给你们施洗,但那能力比我更大的要来,我就是给他解鞋带都没有资格。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 17 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净麦场,把麦子收进仓里,却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。” 18 他还用许多别的话劝勉众人,向他们传福音。 19 分封王希律,因他弟弟的妻子希罗底,并因他自己所行的一切恶事,受到约翰的责备。 20 他在这一切事以外,再加上一件,就是把约翰关在监里。

耶稣受洗(B)

21 众人受了洗,耶稣也受了洗。他正在祷告,天就开了, 22 圣灵仿佛鸽子,有形体地降在他身上;有声音从天上来,说:“你是我的爱子,我喜悦你。”

The Messiah’s Herald

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea,(A) Herod was tetrarch[a] of Galilee,(B) his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas(C) and Caiaphas,(D) God’s word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.(E) He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan,(F) proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,(G) as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah:

A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make his paths straight!
Every valley will be filled,
and every mountain and hill will be made low;[b]
the crooked will become straight,
the rough ways smooth,
and everyone will see the salvation of God.[c](H)

He then said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) Therefore produce fruit(K) consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’(L) for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones. The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(M)

10 “What then should we do?” (N) the crowds were asking him.

11 He replied to them, “The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”(O)

12 Tax collectors(P) also came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” (Q)

13 He told them, “Don’t collect any more than what you have been authorized.”

14 Some soldiers also questioned him, “What should we do?”

He said to them, “Don’t take money from anyone by force or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”

15 Now the people were waiting expectantly, and all of them were questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah.(R) 16 John answered them all,(S) “I baptize you with water, but one who is more powerful than I am is coming. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing shovel(T) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn,(U) but the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out.”(V) 18 Then, along with many other exhortations, he proclaimed good news to the people. 19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch(W) because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the evil things he had done,(X) 20 Herod added this to everything else—he locked up John in prison.(Y)

The Baptism of Jesus

21 When all the people were baptized,(Z) Jesus also was baptized. As he was praying,(AA) heaven opened,(AB) 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well-pleased.”(AC)
