Matthew 3
3
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
1In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3This 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.’ ”#3:3 Isaiah 40:3
4John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10The 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.
11“I baptize you with#3:11 Or in water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with#3:11 Or in the Holy Spirit and fire. 12His 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.”
The Baptism of Jesus
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

馬太福音 3
3
施洗約翰(可1:3~8;路3:2~17;約1:19~28)
1那時,施洗的約翰出來,在猶太的曠野傳道,2說:“天國近了,你們應當悔改。”3以賽亞先知所說:
“在曠野有呼喊者的聲音:
‘預備主的道,
修直他的路!’”
就是指著這約翰說的。4約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服,腰束皮帶,吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。5耶路撒冷、猶太全地和約旦河一帶的人都出來到他那裡去,6承認自己的罪,在約旦河裡受了他的洗。
7約翰看見許多法利賽人和撒都該人來到他施洗的地方,就對他們說:“毒蛇所生的啊,誰指示你們逃避那將要來的忿怒呢?8應當結出果子來,與悔改的心相稱。9你們心裡不要以為:‘我們有亞伯拉罕作我們的祖宗。’我告訴你們, 神能從這些石頭中給亞伯拉罕興起後裔來。10現在斧頭已經放在樹根上,所有不結好果子的樹,就砍下來,丟在火裡。11我用水給你們施洗,表示你們悔改;但在我以後要來的那一位,能力比我更大,我就是替他提鞋也沒有資格。他要用聖靈與火給你們施洗。12他手裡拿著簸箕,要揚淨麥場,把麥子收進倉裡,卻用不滅的火把糠秕燒盡。”
耶穌受洗(可1:9~11;路3:21~22)
13那時,耶穌從加利利來到約旦河約翰那裡,要受他的洗。14約翰想要阻止他,說:“我應該受你的洗,你卻到我這裡來嗎?”15耶穌回答:“暫且這樣作吧。我們理當這樣履行全部的義。”於是約翰答應了他。16耶穌受了洗,立刻從水中上來;忽然,天為他開了,他看見 神的靈,好像鴿子降下來,落在他身上;17又有聲音從天上來,說:“這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。”
