基督的先驱

在那些日子里,施洗者[a]约翰来了,在犹太的旷野传道, 说:“你们应当悔改,因为天国近了。” 约翰就是藉着先知以赛亚所说的那个人。以赛亚说:

“在旷野有声音呼喊着:
‘你们当预备主的道,
当修直[b]他的路!’”[c]

约翰穿着骆驼毛做的衣服,腰束皮带。他的食物是蝗虫和野蜜。 那时,耶路撒冷、全犹太地区和整个约旦河一带的人,都出来到他那里, 承认自己的罪孽,在约旦河里受他的洗礼。

约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来要受他的洗礼,就对他们说:“你们这些毒蛇的子孙!谁指示你们逃避那将要来临的震怒呢? 你们应当结出果子,与悔改的心相称! 你们不要心里想‘我们有亚伯拉罕为先祖。’我告诉你们:神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起儿女来。 10 现在斧子已经放在树根上,所有不结好果子的树都要被砍下来,被丢进火里。

11 “我用水[d]给你们施洗,是为了你们的[e]悔改。但在我之后来的那一位,是比我更强有力的,我就是为他提鞋子也不配。他要用圣灵和火给你们施洗。 12 他手里拿着扬谷的锨,要扬净他的打谷场,把他的麦子收进仓库,却把糠秕用不灭的火烧掉。”

耶稣受洗

13 那时,耶稣从加利利来到约旦河,到了约翰那里,要受他的洗礼。 14 约翰想要阻止他,说:“我需要受你的洗礼,你反而到我这里来吗?”

15 耶稣回答他,说:“现在你就答应吧,因为我们如此成全一切的义,是合宜的。”于是约翰答应了他。

16 耶稣受了洗,一从水里上来,看哪,诸天就为他[f]开了,他看见神的灵好像鸽子降下,临到他身上。 17 这时候,忽然有声音从诸天传来,说:

“这是我的爱子,
我所喜悦的。”

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

In those days (B)John the Baptist came preaching (C)in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for (D)the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 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.’ ”

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. (J)Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him (K)and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

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? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 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.”
