馬太福音3.13-17 （可1.9-11；路3.21-22)

馬太福音 3.13-17	馬可福音 1.9-11	路加福音 3.21-22	
13 当时，耶稣从加利利来到约旦河，到了约翰那里，请约翰为他施洗。 
	9 那时，耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来，在约旦河里受了约翰的洗。 ”
	21 众百姓都受了洗，耶稣也受了洗。”
	
14 约翰想要阻止他，说：“我应该受你的洗，你怎么到我这里来呢？” 15 耶稣回答他：“暂且这样做吧，因为我们理当这样履行全部的义*。”于是约翰就依了他。 
			
16 耶稣受了洗，随即从水里上来。天忽然为他开了，他看见上帝的灵降下，仿佛鸽子落在他身上。”
	10 他从水里一上来，就看见天裂开了，圣灵仿佛鸽子降在他身上。 	他正祷告的时候，天开了，22 圣灵降在他身上，形状仿佛鸽子；	
 17 这时，天上有声音说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜爱的。	11 又有声音从天上来，说：“你是我的爱子，我喜爱你。	又有声音从天上来，说：“你是我的爱子，我喜爱你。	

How does God affirm you as a child of God?

13  Τότε παραγίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην πρὸς τὸν Ἰωάννην τοῦ βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.
13  Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him.
13 当时，耶稣从加利利来到约旦河，到了约翰那里，请约翰为他施洗。
 A1「約但河」（Jordan River）。原文只有約但，沒有「河」字，為清晰起見，所以加上「河」。

14  ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης διεκώλυεν αὐτὸν λέγων· ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με;
14  But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?"
14 约翰想要阻止他，说：“我应该受你的洗，你怎么到我这里来呢？”
B1 阻止Jesus goes to the desert to be baptized by John, but John prevented him because he knows Jesus' identity as the mightier who brings messianic baptism.

15  ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν· ἄφες ἄρτι, οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην. τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν.
15  But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.
15 耶稣回答他：“暂且这样做吧，因为我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰就依了他。
B1 履行全部的义. 1)Jesus'baptism inaugurates his ministry and fulfills God's saving activity prophesied throughout the OT, culminating with his death on the cross (cf. Jn. 1.31-34); 2) In so doing, Jesus also endorses John's ministry and links his mission to John's. 3)Although Jesus needed no repentance or cleansing, Jesus identifies with the sinful people he came to save through his substitutionary life and death (cf. 2 Cor 5.21). 

16  βαπτισθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εὐθὺς ἀνέβη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἠνεῴχθησαν [αὐτῷ] οἱ οὐρανοί, καὶ εἶδεν [τὸ] πνεῦμα [τοῦ] θεοῦ καταβαῖνον ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν [καὶ] ἐρχόμενον ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν·
16  After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,
16 耶稣受了洗，随即从水里上来。【看啊，CCV】天忽然为他开了，他看见上帝的灵降下，仿佛鸽子落在他身上。”
A1「天」。希臘文οὐρανος (ouranos) 這字可根據文義譯作（抽象的）「天」、（實在的）「天空」（sky），或「天堂」（heaven）。第17節同。

A2 「像鴿子」（like a dove）。只是形容，聖靈（Holy Spirit）不是鴿子，而是以彷彿像鴿子的形像降臨。

IVP NT BG 1 开了.The tearing of heavens may indicate that the kingdom is near (Is. 64.1; 65.17). 

IVP NT BG 2 「像鴿子」may allude back to God's promise of a new world (Gen. 8.10-12)
Many believed that the Spirit was not longer available in their time; others believed that the Spirit simply did not work as forcefully as in the days of the prophets, until the time of the end. That the Spirit comes on Jesus indicates the inauguration of the messianic era and marks Jesus out as the Spirit-bearer and hence Messiah (3.11)

17  καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν λέγουσα· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησα.
17  and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."
17 这时，天上有声音说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜爱的。
B1 天上有声音说. Confirms the eternally existing relationship of divine love that the Son and Father share as well as Jesus' identity as the messianic Son of God (Ps.2.7).

 A1「我的愛子」或作「我兒，我至愛的（那位）」。原文的「愛」字ἀγαπητός (agapētos) 專指全體中唯一的，同時也是最蒙愛的。「這是」。馬可福音1:11和路加福音3:22作「你是」而不用「這是」，表示這句話是對耶穌說的。

B2 「我的愛子」. The triumphant messianic King, yet he is also the humble "servant" into whose hands the Father is well pleased to place the mission to bring salvation to the nations (Isa. 42.1-4). 

A2 我所喜爱的. 全句隱喻詩篇2:7上，以賽亞書42:1，及以賽亞書41:8，或可能創世記22:12, 16。神在註明耶穌是蒙揀選的那一位（「我十分喜悅的」的解釋）。極可能這情景只有耶穌和約翰看到和聽到（參約1:32-33）。

C1 Mt. 3.16-17 demonstrates the simultaneous existence of all three Persons of the Godhead.  This passage also points to the Son's voluntary humiliation, the Father's delight in Him, and the Spirit's desire to glorify Christ.
