马太福音 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
基督的先驱
3 在那些日子里，施洗者[a]约翰来了，在犹太的旷野传道， 2 说：“你们应当悔改，因为天国近了。” 3 这约翰就是藉着先知以赛亚所说的那个人。以赛亚说：
4 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。 5 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， 6 承认自己的罪孽，在约旦河里受他的洗礼。
7 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？ 8 你们应当结出果子，与悔改的心相称！ 9 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。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
開路先鋒
3 那時，施洗者約翰來到猶太的曠野傳道，說： 2 「悔改吧，因為天國臨近了！」 3 約翰就是以賽亞先知所說的那位，他說：「有人在曠野大聲呼喊，『預備主的道，修直祂的路。』」
4 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。 5 那時，耶路撒冷、猶太各地和約旦河一帶的人都來到約翰那裡， 6 承認他們的罪，在約旦河裡接受他的洗禮。
7 約翰看見很多法利賽人和撒都該人也來受洗，就對他們說：「你們這些毒蛇的後代！誰指示你們逃避那將臨的烈怒呢？ 8 你們要結出與悔改相稱的果子。 9 不要心裡說，『我們是亞伯拉罕的子孫。』我告訴你們，上帝可以從這些石頭中興起亞伯拉罕的子孫。 10 現在斧頭已經放在樹根上了，不結好果子的樹都要被砍下，丟在火裡。 11 我用水為你們施洗，叫你們悔改。但在我之後，有位比我更有能力的要來，我連替祂提鞋都不配。祂要用聖靈和火為你們施洗。 12 祂手拿簸箕，要把穀場清理乾淨，將麥子存入倉裡，用不滅的火把糠秕燒盡。」
耶穌受洗
13 後來，耶穌從加利利來到約旦河要約翰為祂施洗。 14 約翰想要攔住祂，就說：「應該是你為我施洗才對，你反倒來找我？」
15 耶穌回答說：「你就這樣做吧！我們理當這樣遵行上帝一切的要求。」於是約翰答應了。
16 耶穌受了洗，剛從水裡上來，天就開了。祂看見上帝的聖靈像鴿子一樣降到祂身上， 17 又有聲音從天上傳來：「這是我的愛子，我甚喜悅祂。」
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.
