路加福音 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
基督的先驅
3 凱撒提比略在位第十五年，本丟彼拉多任猶太總督，希律做加利利的分封王，他的弟弟[a]菲利普做以土利亞和特拉克尼地區的分封王，盧薩尼亞做阿比利尼的分封王， 2 亞納和該亞法任大祭司——那時，神的話語在曠野臨到撒迦利亞的兒子約翰。 3 他就來到約旦河周圍所有的地區宣講為罪得赦免而悔改的洗禮。 4 正如先知以賽亞書上所記載的話[b]：
7 約翰對那些出來受他洗禮的人群說：「你們這些毒蛇的子孫！誰指示你們逃避那將要來臨的震怒呢？ 8 你們應當結出果子，與悔改的心相稱！你們不要自己裡面一開始就說『我們有亞伯拉罕為先祖。』我告訴你們：神能從這些石頭中給亞伯拉罕興起兒女來。 9 現在斧子已經放在樹根上，所有不結好果子的樹都要被砍下來，被丟進火裡。」
10 眾人問他，說：「那麼，我們該做什麼呢？」
11 約翰回答說：「有兩件衣服[f]的，當分給那沒有的；有食物的，也當如此做。」
12 一些稅吏也來受洗[g]。他們問約翰：「老師，我們該做什麼呢？」
13 約翰對他們說：「除了給你們規定的以外，不要多收。」
14 有些當兵的[h]也問他，說：「那麼我們呢？我們該做什麼呢？」
約翰說：「不要敲詐任何人，也不要勒索人[i]，當以自己的糧餉為滿足。」
15 當時，民眾都在心裡對約翰有期待並猜想，或許他就是基督。 16 約翰就回答大家，說：「我用水[j]給你們施洗[k]，但有一位比我更強有力的要來，我就是為他解鞋帶也不配。他要用聖靈和火[l]給你們施洗。 17 他手裡拿著揚穀的杴，要揚淨他的打穀場，把麥子收進他的倉庫，卻把糠秕用不滅的火燒掉。」 18 這樣，約翰又用很多別的話勸民眾，向他們傳福音。 19 分封王希律為了他弟弟[m]的妻子希羅迪婭的事，以及自己所做的一切惡事，受到約翰的責備。 20 希律在這一切事上又加了一件，就是把約翰關在監獄裡。
耶穌受洗
21 有一次，當民眾都來受洗的時候，耶穌也受了洗。他正在禱告，天開了， 22 聖靈好像鴿子，有形有體地[n]降臨在他身上，並且有聲音從天上傳來，說：
「你是我的愛子，
我喜悅你。」

Luke 3
Easy-to-Read Version
John Prepares the Way for Jesus(A)
3 It was the 15th year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar. These men were under Caesar:
Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea;
Herod, the ruler of Galilee;
Philip, Herod’s brother, the ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis;
Lysanias, the ruler of Abilene.
2 Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. During this time, John, the son of Zechariah, was living in the desert, and he received a message from God. 3 So he went through the whole area around the Jordan River and told the people God’s message. He told them to be baptized to show that they wanted to change their lives, and then their sins would be forgiven. 4 This is like the words written in the book of Isaiah the prophet:
“There is someone shouting in the desert:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord.
Make the road straight for him.
5 Every valley will be filled,
and every mountain and hill will be made flat.
Crooked roads will be made straight,
and rough roads will be made smooth.
6 Then everyone will see
how God will save his people!’” (B)
7 Crowds of people came to be baptized by John. But he said to them, “You are all snakes! Who warned you to run from God’s judgment that is coming? 8 Change your hearts! And show by your lives that you have changed. I know what you are about to say—‘but Abraham is our father!’ That means nothing. I tell you that God can make children for Abraham from these rocks! 9 The ax is now ready to cut down the trees.[a] Every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 The people asked John, “What should we do?”
11 He answered, “If you have two shirts, share with someone who does not have one. If you have food, share that too.”
12 Even the tax collectors came to John. They wanted to be baptized. They said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 He told them, “Don’t take more taxes from people than you have been ordered to collect.”
14 The soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we do?”
He said to them, “Don’t use force or lies to make people give you money. Be happy with the pay you get.”
15 Everyone was hoping for the Messiah to come, and they wondered about John. They thought, “Maybe he is the Messiah.”
16 John’s answer to this was, “I baptize you in water, but there is someone coming later who is able to do more than I can. I am not good enough to be the slave who unties his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 17 He will come ready to clean the grain.[b] He will separate the good grain from the straw, and he will put the good part into his barn. Then he will burn the useless part with a fire that cannot be stopped.” 18 John said many other things like this to encourage the people to change, and he told them the Good News.
How John’s Work Later Ended
19 John criticized Herod the ruler for what he had done with Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother, as well as for all the other bad things he had done. 20 So Herod added another bad thing to all his other wrongs: He put John in jail.
Jesus Is Baptized by John(C)
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus came and was baptized too. And while he was praying, the sky opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit came down on him. The Spirit looked like a real dove. Then a voice came from heaven and said, “You are my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
