马太福音 3

Studie

   

1 那时,有施洗的约翰出来,在犹太的旷野传道,说:

2 国近了,你们应当悔改!

3 这人就是先知以赛亚所的。他:在旷野有人声喊着:预备主的道,修直他的

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,并约但河一带地方的人,都出去到约翰那里,

6 承认他们的罪,在约但河里受他的洗。

7 约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人也受洗,就对他们毒蛇的种类!谁指示你们逃避将的忿怒呢?

8 你们要结出果子来,与悔改的心相称。

9 不要自己心里: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。

11 我是用水给你们施洗,叫你们悔改。但那在我以後的,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,把用不灭的火烧尽了。

13 当下耶稣从加利利来到约但河,见了约翰,要受他的洗。

14 约翰想要拦住他,:我当受你的洗,你反倒上我这里麽?

15 耶稣回答:你暂且许我,因为我们理当这样尽诸般的(或作:礼)。於是约翰许了他。

16 耶稣受了洗,随即从水里上忽然为他开了,他就看见神的灵彷佛鸽子降下,落在他身上。

17 上有声音:这是我的爱子,我所喜悦的。
