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。”
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!”

The Preaching of John the Baptist(A)
3 At that time John the Baptist came to the desert of Judea and started preaching. 2 (B)“Turn away from your sins,” he said, “because the Kingdom of heaven is near!” 3 (C)John was the man the prophet Isaiah was talking about when he said,
“Someone is shouting in the desert,
‘Prepare a road for the Lord;
make a straight path for him to travel!’”
4 (D)John's clothes were made of camel's hair; he wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People came to him from Jerusalem, from the whole province of Judea, and from all over the country near the Jordan River. 6 They confessed their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan.
7 (E)When John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to be baptized, he said to them, “You snakes—who told you that you could escape from the punishment God is about to send? 8 Do those things that will show that you have turned from your sins. 9 (F)And don't think you can escape punishment by saying that Abraham is your ancestor. I tell you that God can take these rocks and make descendants for Abraham! 10 (G)The ax is ready to cut down the trees at the roots; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown in the fire. 11 I baptize you with water to show that you have repented, but the one who will come after me will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. He is much greater than I am; and I am not good enough even to carry his sandals. 12 (H)He has his winnowing shovel with him to thresh out all the grain. He will gather his wheat into his barn, but he will burn the chaff in a fire that never goes out.”
The Baptism of Jesus(I)
13 At that time Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to make him change his mind. “I ought to be baptized by you,” John said, “and yet you have come to me!”
15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so for now. For in this way we shall do all that God requires.” So John agreed.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. 17 (J)Then a voice said from heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased.”
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)
