³⁴你們不要以為我來，是為把平安帶到地上；我來不是為帶平安，而是帶刀劍，

³⁴Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

³⁵因為我來，是為叫人脫離自己的父親，女兒脫離自己的母親，兒媳脫離自己的婆母；

³⁵For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶所以，人的仇敵，就是自己的家人。

³⁶And as a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.

³⁷誰愛父親或母親超過我，不配是我的；誰愛兒子或女兒超過我，不配是我的。

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸誰不背起自己的十字架跟隨我，不配是我的。

³⁸And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹誰獲得自己的性命，必要喪失性命；誰為我的緣故，喪失了自己的性命，必獲得性命。

³⁹He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.

⁴⁰誰接納你們，就是接納我；誰接納我，就是接納那派遣我來的。

⁴⁰He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹誰接納一位先知，因為他是先知，將領受先知賞報；誰接納一位義人，因他是義人，將領受義人的賞報。

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.

⁴²誰若只給這些小子中的一個，一杯涼水喝，因他是門徒，我實在告訴你們，他決失不了他的賞報。

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

瑪竇福音11：1

Matthew

¹耶穌囑咐完了他的十二門徒，就從那裡走了，為在他們的城裡施教宣講。

¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
