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
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)

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.
