马太福音 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
施洗约翰传道
3 那时,有施洗的约翰出来,在犹太的旷野传道说: 2 “天国近了,你们应当悔改!” 3 这人就是先知以赛亚所说的,他说:“在旷野有人声喊着说:‘预备主的道,修直他的路!’” 4 这约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服,腰束皮带,吃的是蝗虫、野蜜。 5 那时,耶路撒冷和犹太全地并约旦河一带地方的人,都出去到约翰那里, 6 承认他们的罪,在约旦河里受他的洗。 7 约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也来受洗,就对他们说:“毒蛇的种类!谁指示你们逃避将来的愤怒呢? 8 你们要结出果子来,与悔改的心相称! 9 不要自己心里说:‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们,神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。 10 现在斧子已经放在树根上,凡不结好果子的树就砍下来,丢在火里。
必有圣灵与火的洗
11 “我是用水给你们施洗,叫你们悔改;但那在我以后来的,能力比我更大,我就是给他提鞋也不配,他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 12 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里,把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。”
耶稣受洗
13 当下耶稣从加利利来到约旦河,见了约翰,要受他的洗。 14 约翰想要拦住他,说:“我当受你的洗,你反倒上我这里来吗?” 15 耶稣回答说:“你暂且许我,因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义[a]。”于是约翰许了他。 16 耶稣受了洗,随即从水里上来。天忽然为他开了,他就看见神的灵仿佛鸽子降下,落在他身上; 17 从天上有声音说:“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。」
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!”

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
Living Bible
3 While they were living in Nazareth,[a] John the Baptist began preaching out in the Judean wilderness. His constant theme was, 2 “Turn from your sins . . . turn to God . . . for the Kingdom of Heaven is coming soon.”[b] 3 Isaiah the prophet had told about John’s ministry centuries before! He had written,
“I hear[c] a shout from the wilderness, ‘Prepare a road for the Lord—straighten out the path where he will walk.’”
4 John’s clothing was woven from camel’s hair and he wore a leather belt; his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People from Jerusalem and from all over the Jordan Valley, and, in fact, from every section of Judea went out to the wilderness to hear him preach, 6 and when they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many Pharisees[d] and Sadducees coming to be baptized, he denounced them.
“You sons of snakes!” he warned. “Who said that you could escape the coming wrath of God? 8 Before being baptized, prove that you have turned from sin by doing worthy deeds. 9 Don’t try to get by as you are, thinking, ‘We are safe for we are Jews—descendants of Abraham.’ That proves nothing. God can change these stones here into Jews![e]
10 “And even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised to chop down every unproductive tree. They will be chopped and burned.
11 “With water[f] I baptize those who repent of their sins; but someone else is coming, far greater than I am, so great that I am not worthy to carry his shoes! He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 He will separate the chaff from the grain, burning the chaff with never-ending fire and storing away the grain.”
13 Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized there by John. 14 John didn’t want to do it.
“This isn’t proper,” he said. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you.”
15 But Jesus said, “Please do it, for I must do all that is right.”[g] So then John baptized him.
16 After his baptism, as soon as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God coming down in the form of a dove. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, and I am wonderfully pleased with him.”
