马太福音 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
开路先锋
3 那时，施洗者约翰来到犹太的旷野传道，说： 2 “悔改吧，因为天国临近了！” 3 约翰就是以赛亚先知所说的那位，他说：“有人在旷野大声呼喊，‘预备主的道，修直祂的路。’”
4 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫、野蜜。 5 那时，耶路撒冷、犹太各地和约旦河一带的人都来到约翰那里， 6 承认他们的罪，在约旦河里接受他的洗礼。
7 约翰看见很多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受洗，就对他们说：“你们这些毒蛇的后代！谁指示你们逃避那将临的烈怒呢？ 8 你们要结出与悔改相称的果子。 9 不要心里说，‘我们是亚伯拉罕的子孙。’我告诉你们，上帝可以从这些石头中兴起亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 现在斧头已经放在树根上了，不结好果子的树都要被砍下，丢在火里。 11 我用水为你们施洗，叫你们悔改。但在我之后，有位比我更有能力的要来，我连替祂提鞋都不配。祂要用圣灵和火为你们施洗。 12 祂手拿簸箕，要把谷场清理干净，将麦子存入仓里，用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。”
耶稣受洗
13 后来，耶稣从加利利来到约旦河要约翰为祂施洗。 14 约翰想要拦住祂，就说：“应该是你为我施洗才对，你反倒来找我？”
15 耶稣回答说：“你就这样做吧！我们理当这样遵行上帝一切的要求。”于是约翰答应了。
16 耶稣受了洗，刚从水里上来，天就开了。祂看见上帝的圣灵像鸽子一样降到祂身上， 17 又有声音从天上传来：“这是我的爱子，我甚喜悦祂。”
Matthew 3
American Standard Version
3 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying, 2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
[a]The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight.
4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan; 6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming [b]to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of [c]repentance: 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you [d]in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not [e]worthy to bear: he shall baptize you [f]in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [g]it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened [h]unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; 17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, [i]This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

II.— COMIENZOS DEL MINISTERIO DE JESÚS (3,1—4,11)
Predicación de Juan el Bautista (Mc 1,2-8; Lc 3,1-9.16-17; Jn 1,23-27)
3 Por aquel tiempo comenzó Juan el Bautista a predicar en el desierto de Judea. 2 Decía:
— Convertíos, porque ya está cerca el reino de los cielos.
3 A este Juan se había referido el profeta Isaías cuando dijo:
Se oye una voz;
alguien clama en el desierto:
“¡Preparad el camino del Señor;
abrid sendas rectas para él!”.
4 Juan iba vestido de pelo de camello, llevaba un cinturón de cuero y se alimentaba de saltamontes y miel silvestre. 5 Acudían a él gentes de Jerusalén, de toda Judea y de toda la ribera del Jordán. 6 Confesaban sus pecados, y Juan los bautizaba en las aguas del Jordán. 7 Pero al ver que muchos fariseos y saduceos acudían a recibir el bautismo, Juan les decía:
— ¡Hijos de víbora! ¿Quién os ha avisado para que huyáis del inminente castigo? 8 Demostrad con hechos vuestra conversión 9 y no os hagáis ilusiones pensando que sois descendientes de Abrahán. Porque os digo que Dios puede sacar de estas piedras descendientes de Abrahán. 10 Ya está el hacha preparada para cortar de raíz los árboles, y todo árbol que no dé buen fruto será cortado y arrojado al fuego. 11 Yo os bautizo con agua para que os convirtáis; pero el que viene después de mí es más poderoso que yo, y yo ni siquiera soy digno de llevarle las sandalias. Él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo y fuego. 12 Llega, bieldo en mano, dispuesto a limpiar su era; guardará el trigo en el granero, mientras que con la paja hará una hoguera que arderá sin fin.
Jesús es bautizado (Mc 1,9-11; Lc 3,21-22)
13 Por aquel tiempo llegó Jesús al Jordán procedente de Galilea para que Juan lo bautizara. 14 Pero Juan se resistía diciendo:
— Soy yo quien necesita ser bautizado por ti, ¿y tú vienes a que yo te bautice?
15 Jesús le contestó:
— ¡Déjalo así por ahora! Es menester que cumplamos lo que Dios ha dispuesto.
Entonces Juan consintió. 16 Una vez bautizado, Jesús salió en seguida del agua. En ese momento se abrieron los cielos y Jesús vio que el Espíritu de Dios descendía como una paloma y se posaba sobre él. 17 Y una voz, proveniente del cielo, decía:
— Este es mi Hijo amado en quien me complazco.
Matthew 3
King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
