馬太福音 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
施洗約翰傳道
3 那時，有施洗的約翰出來，在猶太的曠野傳道說： 2 「天國近了，你們應當悔改！」 3 這人就是先知以賽亞所說的，他說：「在曠野有人聲喊著說：『預備主的道，修直他的路！』」 4 這約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。 5 那時，耶路撒冷和猶太全地並約旦河一帶地方的人，都出去到約翰那裡， 6 承認他們的罪，在約旦河裡受他的洗。 7 約翰看見許多法利賽人和撒都該人也來受洗，就對他們說：「毒蛇的種類！誰指示你們逃避將來的憤怒呢？ 8 你們要結出果子來，與悔改的心相稱！ 9 不要自己心裡說：『有亞伯拉罕為我們的祖宗。』我告訴你們，神能從這些石頭中給亞伯拉罕興起子孫來。 10 現在斧子已經放在樹根上，凡不結好果子的樹就砍下來，丟在火裡。
必有聖靈與火的洗
11 「我是用水給你們施洗，叫你們悔改；但那在我以後來的，能力比我更大，我就是給他提鞋也不配，他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。 12 他手裡拿著簸箕，要揚淨他的場，把麥子收在倉裡，把糠用不滅的火燒盡了。」
耶穌受洗
13 當下耶穌從加利利來到約旦河，見了約翰，要受他的洗。 14 約翰想要攔住他，說：「我當受你的洗，你反倒上我這裡來嗎？」 15 耶穌回答說：「你暫且許我，因為我們理當這樣盡諸般的義[a]。」於是約翰許了他。 16 耶穌受了洗，隨即從水裡上來。天忽然為他開了，他就看見神的靈彷彿鴿子降下，落在他身上； 17 從天上有聲音說：「這是我的愛子，我所喜悅的。」

Matthew 3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Messiah’s Herald
3 In those days John the Baptist came,(A) preaching in the Wilderness of Judea(B) 2 and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”(C) 3 For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said:
A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make His paths straight!(D)[a]
4 John himself had a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then people from Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the vicinity of the Jordan were flocking to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.(E)
7 When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees(F) coming to the place of his baptism,[b] he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(G) 8 Therefore produce fruit(H) consistent with[c] repentance. 9 And don’t presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(I) For I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! 10 Even now the ax is ready to strike the root of the trees! Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(J)
11 “I baptize you with[d] water for repentance,[e](K) but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove[f] His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with[g] the Holy Spirit and fire.(L) 12 His winnowing shovel[h] is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out.”(M)
The Baptism of Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.(N) 14 But John tried to stop Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?”
15 Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him to be baptized.
16 After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens(O) suddenly opened for Him,[i] and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.(P) 17 And there came a voice from heaven:
This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him!(Q)
