馬 太 福 音 11
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
约翰派人去问耶稣
11 耶稣对十二门徒说完这些话,便离开了那里,到加利利各城镇去传道。
2 约翰在狱中听说基督的事迹,便派他的一些门徒去见耶稣, 3 他们问耶稣: “你是我们期待的那位吗?或者还是我们应该等待另外一个人?”
4 耶稣回答他们说∶“去把你们的所见所闻告诉约翰说: 5 盲人获得视力,瘸子行走自如,麻风病人得到痊愈,聋子能听见,死人复活,穷苦人得到上帝的福音。 6 能够接受 [a]我的人会受到祝福。”
7 约翰的门徒离开后,耶稣便向人们谈起有关约翰的事情,他说∶“你们以前出去到旷野里去看什么?是看随风摇曳的野草 [b]吗? 8 那么你们究竟出去看什么呢?是去看衣着华贵的人吗?当然不是,衣着华贵的人都住在皇宫里。 9 那么你们出去看什么呢?是一位先知吗?是的,我告诉你们,你们看见的人不仅仅是一位先知。 10 《经》上关于他是这样记载的:
‘‘听着!在你之前,
我(上帝)要派出我的使者,
他将为你准备好道路。’’ (A)
11 我实话告诉你们,世上没有人比施洗者约翰更伟大,然而在上帝的王国里最渺小的人都比他伟大。 12 从约翰出现到现在,天国遭受到了猛烈的攻击 [c],暴徒们企图用武力占领天国。 13 在约翰出现之前,律法和先知们都预言到了天国的事情, 14 “如果你们愿意接受律法和先知所说的,你们就应该相信他就是预言中将要到来的以利亚 [d]。 15 有耳能听的人, 都应该听着!
16 “我该把这代人比作什么人呢?他们就像坐在集市上的一群孩子,招呼另一群说:
17 ‘我们给你们吹笛奏乐,
但是你们却不起舞,
我们唱葬歌,
你们也不哀悼!’
18 约翰来了,他既不吃平常的食物,也不喝酒。人们便说∶‘他被鬼缠身了。’ 19 人子来了,又吃又喝,人们便说∶‘瞧这个人,贪吃贪喝,还是税吏和罪人的朋友!’但是,智慧在实践中被证实是正确的。”
耶稣警告不相信的人
20 然后,耶稣指责了一些城镇,他在这些城镇行过的奇迹最多。他指责那些城镇,是因为那里的人不悔改他们的罪。 21 耶稣说∶“哥拉汛,你要遭殃了!伯赛大,你要遭殃了!我在你们中间行了许多奇迹,如果同样的奇迹发生在推罗和西顿,那里的人们早就会悔改了,他们会披麻蒙灰,对自己的罪过表示内疚。 22 不过我告诉你们,在审判之日,你们受到的遭遇将比推罗和西顿人受到的更惨。 23 迦百农啊,你会升天吗?绝对不会,你会被投入地狱!我在你们中间行了许多奇迹,如果那些同样的奇迹发生在所多玛,所多玛人就会停止犯罪,而且这座城市至今也仍会存在。 24 但是我告诉你们,到了最后审判日那天,你们受到的遭遇将会比所多玛所受到的更惨重。”
耶稣让人们得到安宁
25 然后,耶稣高声说道∶“我赞美您,父—天地之主,我感谢您,您向聪明、智慧的人隐藏了这些事,却把它们揭示给像孩子似的人。 26 父,这一切都是按照您的意愿发生的。
27 “我父赐予了我一切。除了圣父,没有人知道圣子,除了圣子和圣子愿意向他揭示的人以外,没有人知道圣父。
28 所有背负重担、疲惫不堪的人,都到我这里来吧,我会让你们得到休息。 29 你们要负起我的轭,向我学习,因为我内心温和谦卑,你们会从我这里得到心灵上的安宁。 30 我让你们负的轭是轻松的,我给你们的担子不是沉重的。”

Matthew 11
1599 Geneva Bible
11 2 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 7 Christ’s testimony of John. 13 The Law and the Prophets. 15 Christ and John. 21 Chorazin, Bethsaida. 25 The Gospel revealed to children. 28 They that are weary and laden.
1 And [a]it came to pass that when Jesus had made an end of [b]commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in [c]their cities.
2 ¶ (A)And when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him,
3 Art thou he that should come, or shall we look for another?
4 And Jesus answering, said unto them, Go, and show John, what things ye hear and see.
5 The blind receive sight, and the halt do walk: the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, (B)and the poor receive the Gospel.
6 And blessed is he that shall not be offended in me.
7 [d]And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the multitude of John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft clothing, are in kings’ houses.
9 But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a Prophet.
10 For this is he of whom it is written, (C)Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater than John Baptist, notwithstanding, he that is the least in the [e]kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.
12 And from (D)the time of John Baptist hitherto, the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law [f]prophesied unto John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is (E)that Elijah, which was to come.
15 ¶ He that hath ears to hear let him hear.
16 (F)[g]But whereunto shall I liken this generation? [h]It is like unto little children which sit in the markets, and call unto their fellows,
17 And say, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced, we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of men came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend unto Publicans and sinners: [i]but [j]wisdom is justified of her children.
20 ¶ (G)[k]Then began he to upbraid the cities, wherein most of his great works were done, because they repented not.
21 Woe be to thee Chorazin: Woe be to thee Bethsaida: for if the great works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they had repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say to you, It shall be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou Capernaum, which art lifted up unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the great works, which have been done in thee, had been done among them of Sodom, they had remained to this day.
24 But I say unto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 (H)At that time Jesus answered and said, I give thee thanks, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise, and men of understanding, and hast [l]opened them unto babes.
26 It is [m]so, O Father, because thy [n]good pleasure was such.
27 (I)[o]All things are given unto me of my Father: and (J)no man knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither knoweth any man the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that are weary and laden, and I will ease you.
29 Take my yoke on you, and learn of me that I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find (K)rest unto your souls.
30 (L)For my yoke is [p]easy, and my burden light.

New International Version
Jesus and John the Baptist(A)
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(B) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[a]
2 When John,(C) who was in prison,(D) heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come,(E) or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[b] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(F) 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”(G)
7 As John’s(H) disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness(I) to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet?(J) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence,[d] and violent people have been raiding it. 13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.(M) 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.(N) 15 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(O)
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating(P) nor drinking,(Q) and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(R) But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Woe on Unrepentant Towns(S)
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!(T) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,(U) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.(V) 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.(W) 23 And you, Capernaum,(X) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e](Y) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”(Z)
The Father Revealed in the Son(AA)
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father,(AB) Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.(AC) 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 “All things have been committed to me(AD) by my Father.(AE) No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.(AF)
28 “Come to me,(AG) all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.(AH) 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,(AI) for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(AJ) 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(AK)

King James Version
11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
