路加福音 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
施洗约翰在旷野传道
3 恺撒提庇留在位第十五年，本丢·彼拉多做犹太巡抚，希律做加利利分封的王，他的兄弟腓力做以土利亚和特拉可尼地方分封的王，吕撒聂做亚比利尼分封的王， 2 亚那和该亚法做大祭司。那时，撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里，神的话临到他。 3 他就来到约旦河一带地方，宣讲悔改的洗礼，使罪得赦。 4 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！ 5 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。 6 凡有血气的，都要见神的救恩。’”
7 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？ 8 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。 9 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。”

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.”
