马太福音 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

经学家和法利赛人有祸了(A)

23 那时，耶稣对群众和他的门徒说： 2 “经学家和法利赛人坐在摩西的座位上， 3 所以凡他们吩咐你们的，你们都要遵行和谨守，但不可效法他们的行为，因为他们只会说而不去作。 4 他们把重担捆起来，压在人的肩头上，但自己连一个指头也不肯动。 5 他们所作的一切，都是要作给人看：他们把经文的匣子做大了，衣服的繸子做长了； 6 他们喜欢筵席上的首位、会堂里的高位； 7 又喜欢人在市中心向他们问安，称呼他们‘拉比’。 8 然而你们不要被人称为‘拉比’，因为只有一位是你们的老师，你们都是弟兄。 9 不要称呼地上的人为父，因为只有一位是你们的父，就是天父。 10 你们也不要被人称为师傅，因为只有一位是你们的师傅，就是基督。 11 你们中间最大的，必作你们的仆人。 12 凡高抬自己的，必被降卑；凡自己谦卑的，必被升高。

13 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们在人面前关了天国的门，自己不进去，连正要进去的人，你们也不准他们进去。（有些抄本有第14节：“虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们吞没了寡妇的房产，假装作冗长的祷告，所以你们必受更重的刑罚。”）

15 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们走遍海洋陆地，要使一个人入教；当他入了教，你们却使他沦为地狱之子，比你们更甚。

16 “你们这些瞎眼的向导有祸了！你们说：‘凡指着圣所而起的誓，是没有用的；但指着圣所的金子而起的誓，就必须遵守。’ 17 你们这些瞎眼的愚昧人哪，到底是金子大，还是使金子成圣的圣所大呢？ 18 你们又说：‘凡指着祭坛所起的誓，是没有用的；但指着坛上的祭物所起的誓，就必须遵守。’ 19 瞎眼的人哪！到底是祭物大，还是使祭物成圣的祭坛大呢？ 20 所以，凡指着祭坛起誓的，他就是指着祭坛和坛上的一切起誓； 21 指着圣所起誓的，就是指着圣所和住在那里的　神起誓； 22 指着天起誓的，就是指着　神的宝座和坐在宝座上的起誓。

23 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们把薄荷、茴香、芹菜，献上十分之一，却忽略律法上更重要的，就如正义、怜悯和信实；这些更重要的是你们应当作的，但其他的也不可忽略。 24 你们这些瞎眼的向导啊，你们把蚊虫滤出来，却把骆驼吞下去。

25 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们洗净杯盘的外面，里面却装满了抢夺和放荡。 26 瞎眼的法利赛人哪，先把杯和盘的里面洗净，好使外面也可以干净。

27 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们好象粉饰了的坟墓，外面好看，里面却装满了死人的骨头和各样的污秽； 28 照样，你们外面看来像义人，里面却充塞着虚伪和不法。

29 “虚伪的经学家和法利赛人哪，你们有祸了！你们建造先知的墓，修饰义人的碑， 30 并且说：‘我们若活在我们祖先的时代，决不会与他们一同流先知的血。’ 31 这样，你们就指证自己是杀害先知的人的子孙了。 32 那么，去完成你们祖先的罪孽吧！ 33 你们这些蛇，这些毒蛇所生的啊，你们怎能逃脱地狱的刑罚呢？ 34 因此，我差派先知、智慧人和经学家到你们那里；有些你们要杀害又钉在十字架上，有些你们要在会堂里鞭打，从一个城赶逐到另一个城。 35 所以，从义人亚伯的血起，到巴拉加的儿子撒迦利亚的血为止，他就是你们在圣所和祭坛中间所杀的，所有义人在地上所流的血，都要归在你们身上。 36 我实在告诉你们，这一切都必临到这个世代。

为耶路撒冷叹息（参(B)

37 “耶路撒冷，耶路撒冷啊，你杀害先知，又用石头把奉派到你们那里的人打死。我多次想招聚你的儿女，好象母鸡招聚小鸡到翅膀底下，只是你们不愿意。 38 你看，你们的家必成为荒场，留给你们。 39 我告诉你们，从今以后，你们一定见不到我，直等到你们说：‘奉主名来的，是应当称颂的。’”

Matthew 23
EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus talks about dangerous teachers

23 After that, Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples. 2 He said, ‘The teachers of God's Law and the Pharisees have authority to explain the Law of Moses. 3 So you must obey everything that they teach you. But you should not do the same things that they do. They tell you what the Law of Moses teaches. But then they themselves do not obey it. 4 The rules that they give you are difficult to obey. Their rules are like heavy luggage, which they make you carry. But they themselves will not help you to carry that luggage. They will not agree to use even one finger to help you.[a]

5 The Pharisees do things only so that people will see them. They wear little boxes with words from the Bible in them, but they make them really big. They also make the tassels on their clothes very long.[b] 6 They like to sit in the important places at special meals. They also choose to sit in the best seats in the meeting places. 7 They like people to praise them in the market place. They want people to call them “Teacher.”

8 You all belong to God's family. You have only one Teacher. So nobody should call another person, “Teacher”.[c] 9 Also, do not call any other person in the world, “Father”. You have only one Father, and he is in heaven.[d] 10 And do not call each other “Leader”. You have only one Leader. He is the Messiah that God has chosen. 11 The person among you who is most important will be your servant. 12 Some people lift themselves up to be important. But God will bring them down low. Other people are humble. God will lift up those people to a good place.’

Jesus speaks against the teachers of God's Law and the Pharisees

13 Jesus spoke to the teachers of God's Law and the Pharisees. ‘It will be very bad for you,’ he said. ‘You are hypocrites! You have stopped people who wanted to go into the kingdom of heaven. It is like you have shut the door so that they cannot go in. Then you yourselves do not even go in.

14 [It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's Law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You take things away from women after their husbands have died. You pray for a long time so that other people will praise you. God will punish you much more than other people.][e]

15 It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's Law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You travel far across land and sea. You do this to make one person believe what you believe. Then, when he does believe your ideas, he becomes worse than you are. He shows that he belongs to hell even more than you do.

16 It will be very bad for you, teachers. You cannot see what is true, but you show people which way to go.[f] You say to people, “You may make a promise by the name of the temple. Then it is not a serious promise. You do not have to do it. But you may also make a promise by the gold things in the temple. Then it is a serious promise, and you must do it.” 17 This shows that you are fools. You do not understand what is true. Think about which of these is more important. Is it the gold things in the temple? Or is it the temple itself? It is the temple that makes the gold things special. 18 You also say to people, “You may make a promise by the altar in the temple. Then it is not a serious promise. You do not have to do it. But you may also make a promise by the gifts on that altar. Then it is a serious promise and you must do it.” 19 You are people who cannot understand what is true. Think about which of these things is more important. Is it the gifts on the altar? Or is it the altar itself? It is the altar that makes the gifts special. 20 Remember this: Somebody may make a promise by the name of the altar. Then he is making a promise by God's name. The altar as well as all the gifts on it are special to God. 21 Also, somebody may make a promise by the name of the temple. Then he is making a promise in the name of God, who lives there. 22 Or somebody may make a promise by heaven. Then he is making a promise by the place where God sits and rules. So he is making a promise by the name of God himself.[g]

23 It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's Law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! When you grow spices to cook with food, you give a tenth part of these small things to God. You are right to obey this rule. But you do not obey the more important parts of God's Law. You do not help people in a good way. You are not kind to them. You do not always do what God says is right. You should have done these important things as well as the other small things. 24 You are like blind people, but you show other people which way to go. You carefully take a small fly out of your water so that you do not drink it. But then you drink the large animal that is swimming in it![h]

25 It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's Law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You always clean the outside of your cups and plates very carefully. You only clean the outside part that people can see. But on the inside, everything is still dirty. Inside you, your minds are full of bad thoughts. You want to have more things for yourself. You hurt other people to get what you want. 26 Pharisees, you do not see what is true! You must first clean the inside of the cup. Then the outside that people can see will also be clean.

27 It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You are like a grave that has nice white paint on the outside and it looks beautiful. But on the inside it is full of bones and disgusting things. 28 You are the same as that. Other people look at you. They think that you are good and you obey God. But on the inside you are hypocrites. Your minds are full of many bad thoughts.

29 It will be very bad for you, teachers of God's Law and Pharisees. You are hypocrites! You build up the places where people have buried God's prophets. You make the places where they have buried good people to be beautiful. 30 You say, “Our ancestors killed God's prophets long ago. If we had lived at that time, we would not have helped our ancestors to do that.” 31 So you are speaking against yourselves. You show that you are the sons of those people who killed God's prophets. 32 Now you must finish the work that your ancestors began to do!

33 You are like a family of dangerous snakes! You will not be able to run away. God will surely punish you, and he will send you to hell. 34 So listen to this. God says, “I will send prophets to you. I will also send to you people who know many things. And I will send people to teach you what is true. But you will kill some of these people. You will kill some of them on a cross. In the places where you meet to pray, you will hit some of them with whips. They will run from one town to another town, but you will follow them.” 35 Because of all this, God will punish you for all the good people that you and your ancestors have killed. Long ago, Abel was the first of those good people. You also killed Zechariah, the son of Berekiah. He died in the yard of the temple near the altar.[i] 36 Yes, I tell you this: God will punish the people who are alive today for all those murders.

37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed God's prophets. They have thrown stones to kill other people that God has sent to you. Many times, I have wanted to bring all of your people near to me. A female bird covers her babies with her body to make them safe. But you would not let me keep you from danger like that. 38 So listen! Your place will now become like a wilderness where nobody lives. 39 And I tell you this. You will not see me again until the day when you say, “May the Lord God bless the man who comes with his authority!” ’[j]

Footnotes

  1. 23:4 The teachers of God's Law and the Pharisees taught extra rules to the Laws of Moses. This made it more difficult for people to obey all the Laws.
  2. 23:5 These little boxes were called phylacteries. A Jewish man would tie one to his head or to his arm. There was some paper with words from the Bible in the box. They wore the phylacteries and the tassels for other people to see. They wanted people to think that they really loved God.
  3. 23:8 Jesus is our master and our teacher.
  4. 23:9 Jesus was saying that God is their Father.
  5. 23:14 Verse 14 is not in all copies of Matthew's book.
  6. 23:16 Jesus meant that the teachers of God's Law and Pharisees did not understand about the kingdom. They were like men who could not see. They did not know God's way, but they were trying to teach it to other people.
  7. 23:22 Perhaps a person wants to make a promise very strong. So he uses someone's name to make the promise stronger. Jesus says that we should not do this. If we make a promise, people should be able to trust us to do what we have said.
  8. 23:24 The teachers of God's Law and the Pharisees obeyed the least important parts of the Law of Moses. But they did not obey the important parts. They did not understand that they were doing the wrong things.
  9. 23:35 Through the years bad men have killed many good men. The prophets wrote in the Bible about many people who died in that way. Abel was the first person like that. See Genesis 4:8. Zechariah was another good person that bad people killed. See 2 Chronicles 24:20-21.
  10. 23:39 See Psalms 118:26

Religious Hypocrites Denounced

23 Then(A) Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples:(B) 2 ‘The scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the chair of Moses.(C) 3 Therefore do whatever they tell you, and observe it. But don’t do what they do, because they don’t practise what they teach.(D) 4 They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry[a] and put them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.(E) 5 They do everything[b] to be seen by others: They enlarge their phylacteries(F) and lengthen their tassels.[c](G) 6 They love the place of honour at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues,(H) 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called “Rabbi” by people.

8 ‘But you are not to be called “Rabbi,” because you have one Teacher,[d] and you are all brothers and sisters.(I) 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father, because you have one Father, who is in heaven.(J) 10 You are not to be called instructors either, because you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(K) 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.(L)

13 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you don’t go in, and you don’t allow those entering to go in.[e](M)

15 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to make one convert,(N) and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as you are!

16 ‘Woe to you, blind guides,(O) who say, “Whoever takes an oath by the temple, it means nothing. But whoever takes an oath(P) by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.”[f] 17 Blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold? 18 Also, “Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it means nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gift that is on it is bound by his oath.” 19 Blind people![g] For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?(Q) 20 Therefore, the one who takes an oath by the altar takes an oath by it and by everything on it. 21 The one who takes an oath by the temple takes an oath by it and by him who dwells(R) in it. 22 And the one who takes an oath by heaven takes an oath by God’s throne(S) and by him who sits on it.(T)

23 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay a tenth of[h] mint, dill, and cumin, and yet you have neglected the more important matters of the law – justice,(U) mercy, and faithfulness.[i] These things should have been done without neglecting the others. 24 Blind guides!(V) You strain out a gnat, but gulp down a camel!

25 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed[j] and self-indulgence.(W) 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup,[k] so that the outside of it[l] may also become clean.

27 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,(X) which appear beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and every kind of impurity. 28 In the same way, on the outside you seem righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, 30 and you say, “If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we wouldn’t have taken part with them in shedding the prophets’ blood.” 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your ancestors’ sins!(Y)

33 ‘Snakes! Brood of vipers! How can you escape being condemned to hell?[m](Z) 34 This is why I am sending you prophets,(AA) wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues(AB) and pursue from town to town. 35 So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you,[n] from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah,(AC) son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.(AD) 36 Truly I tell you, all these things will come on this generation.(AE)

Jesus’s Lamenting over Jerusalem

37 ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem,(AF) who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks[o] under her wings, but you were not willing!(AG) 38 See, your house is left to you desolate.(AH) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”! ’(AI)[p]

Jezus over de bijbelgeleerden en de Farizeeën

23 Jezus zei tegen de mensen en zijn leerlingen: 2 ‘De bijbelgeleerden en de Farizeeën moeten de wet van Mozes handhaven. 3 U moet precies doen wat zij zeggen. Maar hun voorbeeld mag u beslist niet volgen. Ze doen zelf niet wat zij zeggen. 4 Ze leggen de mensen enorme lasten op, maar steken zelf geen vinger uit om die te verlichten. 5 Alles wat zij doen, is om op te vallen. Ze binden hun gebedsriemen, met wetteksten erin, op hun linkerarm en hun voorhoofd. Om heilig te lijken, maken ze die extra breed. En de kwasten aan hun kleren, die aan Gods geboden herinneren, maken ze extra lang. 6 Zij vinden het heerlijk om bij de maaltijden aan het hoofd van de tafel te zitten. Zij genieten ervan als zij in de synagoge de voornaamste plaatsen krijgen 7 en voelen zich gevleid als ze op straat eerbiedig worden gegroet, als men hen met rabbi of meester aanspreekt. 8 Maar Ik waarschuw u: laat u nooit zo noemen. Want u hebt maar één Meester en u bent allemaal broers en zusters van elkaar. 9 Noem nooit een mens vader. Want u hebt maar één Vader, God in de hemel. 10 Laat u ook nooit leraar noemen, want u hebt maar één Leraar en dat ben Ik, de Christus. 11 De belangrijkste onder u moet de anderen dienen. 12 Wie zichzelf verheft, zal vernederd worden, maar wie zichzelf vernedert, zal verheven worden.

13 Maar pas op, bijbelgeleerden en Farizeeën! Huichelaars! Want u belet mensen het Koninkrijk van de hemelen in te gaan. En zelf gaat u er ook niet in! De mensen die er in willen gaan, worden door u tegengehouden. 14 U maakt de weduwen zelfs hun huis afhandig. En voor de vrome schijn zegt u lange gebeden op. De straf die u krijgt, zal daarom zwaarder zijn. 15 U bent stuk voor stuk huichelaars! Want u trekt stad en land door om één mens tot uw geloof te bekeren en dan wordt die wel twee keer zo slecht als u bent: klaar voor de hel! 16 Jullie zijn blinde leiders! U zegt dat het niets betekent als iemand bij de tempel zweert. Dan mag hij zijn eed breken. Maar zweert hij bij het goud van de tempel, dan moet hij zijn eed houden. 17 Wat een domme redenering! U bent stekeblind. Wat is belangrijker? Het goud of de tempel waardoor het goud heilig wordt? 18 Nog zoiets: u zegt dat het niets betekent als iemand bij het altaar zweert. Maar zweert iemand bij het offer op het altaar, dan mag hij zijn eed niet breken. 19 Jullie zijn werkelijk stekeblind! Wat is belangrijker? Het offer of het altaar dat het offer heilig maakt? 20 Wie zweert bij het altaar, zweert niet alleen bij het altaar, maar ook bij alles wat erop ligt. 21 En wie zweert bij de tempel, zweert niet alleen bij de tempel, maar ook bij Hem die erin woont. 22 En wie zweert bij de hemel, zweert bij de troon van God en bij God Zelf die op de troon zit.

23 Bijbelgeleerden en Farizeeën! Het ziet er voor u slecht uit! Huichelaars, u geeft tien procent van wat u heeft aan munt en andere kruiden aan de tempel, maar waar het op aankomt, goedheid, medelijden en trouw, daar houdt u zich niet mee bezig. U moet het ene doen en het andere niet nalaten. 24 Jullie zijn blinde leiders en zeven de wijn om er een mug uit te halen. Maar een kameel slikt u door.

25 Bijbelgeleerden en Farizeeën! Het ziet er voor u slecht uit! Huichelaars, u maakt de bekers en schotels van buiten schoon, maar ziet niet dat ze van binnen vol roof en hebzucht zitten.

26 Blinde Farizeeën! Maak eerst de binnenkant van de beker schoon. Dan zal ook de buitenkant schoon worden.

27 Bijbelgeleerden en Farizeeën! Het ziet er voor u slecht uit! Huichelaars, jullie lijken op witgekalkte graven, die er van buiten mooi uitzien, maar van binnen vol doodsbeenderen en bederf zitten. 28 U doet u heel vroom en oprecht voor, maar in uw hart bent u huichelachtig en slecht.

29 Bijbelgeleerden en Farizeeën, het ziet er voor u slecht uit! Huichelaars! U bouwt monumenten voor de profeten die door uw voorouders om het leven zijn gebracht. U legt bloemen op de graven van goede, onschuldige mensen en zegt: 30 “Als wij toen hadden geleefd, zouden wij de profeten nooit hebben vermoord.” 31 U erkent dus dat u zonen bent van hen die de profeten hebben vermoord. 32 Maak de maat maar vol. 33 Stelletje sluwe slangen! Hoe zult u aan het vreselijke oordeel van de hel ontkomen? 34 Ik zal profeten, wijze mannen en bijbelgeleerden naar u toesturen. U zult sommigen van hen vermoorden door hen aan een kruis te spijkeren. Anderen zult u in de synagogen afranselen en van stad tot stad vervolgen. 35 Daardoor maakt u zich schuldig aan de dood van al de onschuldige en gelovige mensen die werden vermoord, van de onschuldige Abel tot Zacharia, de zoon van Berechja, die werd vermoord tussen het tempelhuis en het altaar. 36 Ja, Ik verzeker u: het oordeel over al het kwaad van vroeger zal op het hoofd van deze generatie neerkomen.

37 Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem! Stad die de profeten vermoordt en de mannen die naar haar zijn toegestuurd, dood gooit met stenen! Hoe vaak heb Ik uw kinderen bij elkaar willen brengen, zoals een hen haar kuikens onder haar vleugels bijeenbrengt. Maar u hebt het niet gewild! 38 Let op: uw huis wordt aan zijn lot overgelaten. 39 Want u zult Mij van nu af aan niet meer zien, tot de dag dat u zult zeggen: “Gelukkig is Hij die namens de Here komt.” ’
