馬 太 福 音 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
施洗者约翰为耶稣铺路
3 当时,施洗者约翰在犹太的荒原上传教。 2 他对人们说∶“悔改吧,天国很近了。 [a]” 3 约翰就是先知以赛亚所说的那个人。先知说:
“旷野里有个呼唤着的人,
‘为主准备好道路。
修直他的路。’” (A)
4 约翰身穿骆驼毛织成的衣服,腰系皮带,吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 5 人们纷纷离开耶路撒冷、犹太各地和约旦河一带所有地区,来到约翰那里。 6 他们承认自己的罪,并在约旦河里接受了约翰的洗礼。
7 许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来接受约翰的洗礼,约翰看到他们,说道∶“你们这些毒蛇,谁警告过你们去逃避即将来临的上帝的审判呢? 8 改变你们的内心吧!通过你们的生活方式来表明你们已经改变了。 9 我知道你们在想什么,你们想说:‘但是,亚伯拉罕是我们的祖先!’这毫无意义。我告诉你们,上帝可以让这些石头都变成亚伯拉罕的子孙! 10 现在砍树的斧头已经准备好了,每棵不结好果子的树 [b]都将被砍倒,扔进火里。
11 我用水给你们施洗礼来表示你们的悔改。但是,在我之后来的那位,他比我更强大,我甚至都不配当给他脱鞋的奴仆。他将用圣灵和火给你们施洗礼。 12 他手里拿着簸谷叉,他将清理谷场,把麦粒收进粮仓,把麦麸 [c]用不灭的火烧掉。”
耶稣受洗
13 然后,耶稣从加利利来到约旦河。他走到约翰面前,请约翰为他施洗礼。 14 但是约翰说他不配为耶稣施洗礼,他说∶“我应该让您给我洗礼,您怎么反而来找我呢?” 15 耶稣回答说∶“现在就照上帝的方式来做吧,凡是对的,我们都应当做。”约翰这才同意为耶稣施洗礼。
16 这样,耶稣接受了洗礼。就在耶稣从水里站出来的时候,天为他豁然敞开,耶稣看见上帝的灵像鸽子一样降落在他身上。 17 一个来自天堂的声音说∶“这是我的爱子,他令我非常喜悦!”

马太福音 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
施洗約翰(A)
3 那時,施洗的約翰出來,在猶太的曠野傳道, 2 說:“天國近了,你們應當悔改。” 3 以賽亞先知所說:
“在曠野有呼喊者的聲音:
‘預備主的道,
修直他的路!’”
就是指著這約翰說的。 4 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服,腰束皮帶,吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。 5 耶路撒冷、猶太全地和約旦河一帶的人都出來到他那裡去, 6 承認自己的罪,在約旦河裡受了他的洗。
7 約翰看見許多法利賽人和撒都該人來到他施洗的地方,就對他們說:“毒蛇所生的啊,誰指示你們逃避那將要來的忿怒呢? 8 應當結出果子來,與悔改的心相稱。 9 你們心裡不要以為:‘我們有亞伯拉罕作我們的祖宗。’我告訴你們, 神能從這些石頭中給亞伯拉罕興起後裔來。 10 現在斧頭已經放在樹根上,所有不結好果子的樹,就砍下來,丟在火裡。 11 我用水給你們施洗,表示你們悔改;但在我以後要來的那一位,能力比我更大,我就是替他提鞋也沒有資格。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。 12 他手裡拿著簸箕,要揚淨麥場,把麥子收進倉裡,卻用不滅的火把糠秕燒盡。”
耶穌受洗(B)
13 那時,耶穌從加利利來到約旦河約翰那裡,要受他的洗。 14 約翰想要阻止他,說:“我應該受你的洗,你卻到我這裡來嗎?” 15 耶穌回答:“暫且這樣作吧。我們理當這樣履行全部的義。”於是約翰答應了他。 16 耶穌受了洗,立刻從水中上來;忽然,天為他開了,他看見 神的靈,好像鴿子降下來,落在他身上; 17 又有聲音從天上來,說:“這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。”
Matthew 3
New International Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days John the Baptist(B) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(C) has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[a](D)
4 John’s(E) clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.(F) His food was locusts(G) and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized(H) by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(K) 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(M)
11 “I baptize you with[b] water for repentance.(N) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit(O) and fire.(P) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(Q)
The Baptism of Jesus(R)
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(S) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(T) and he saw the Spirit of God(U) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(V) said, “This is my Son,(W) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(X)

New King James Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days (B)John the Baptist came preaching (C)in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for (D)the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
(E)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(F)‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 Now (G)John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was (H)locusts and (I)wild honey. 5 (J)Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 (K)and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, (L)“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from (M)the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, (N)‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. (O)Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 (P)I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. (Q)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 (R)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will (S)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
John Baptizes Jesus(T)
13 (U)Then Jesus came (V)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 (W)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [b]He saw (X)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (Y)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (Z)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
