1:1 太初有道，道與 神同在，道就是 神。 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 這道太初與 神同在。 He was with God in the beginning. 1:3 萬物是藉著他造的；凡被造的，沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 1:4 生命在他裏頭，這生命就是人的光。 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 1:5 光照在黑暗裏，黑暗卻不接受光。 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood(\f1 1:5 Or darkness, and the darkness has not overcome) it. 1:6 有一個人，是從 神那裏差來的，名叫約翰。 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 1:7 這人來，為要作見證，就是為光作見證，叫眾人因他可以信。 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 1:8 他不是那光，乃是要為光作見證。 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 1:9 那光是真光，照亮一切生在世上的人。 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.( \f2 1:9 Or This was the true light that gives light to every man who comes into the world) 1:10 他在世界，世界也是藉著他造的，世界卻不認識他。 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 1:11 他到自己的地方來，自己的人倒不接待他。 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 1:12 凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就賜他們權柄，作 神的兒女。 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- 1:13 這等人不是從血氣生的，不是從情慾生的，也不是從人意生的，乃是從 神生的。 children born not of natural descent,( \f3 1:13 Greek of bloods) nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. 1:14 道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光，正是父獨生子的榮光。 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,( \f4 1:14 Or the Only Begotten) who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 1:15 約翰為他作見證，喊著說：「這就是我曾說：『那在我以後來的，反成了在我以前的，因他本來在我以前。』」 John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, <<This was he of whom I said, <He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.> >> 1:16 從他豐滿的恩典裏，我們都領受了，而且恩上加恩。 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 1:17 律法本是藉著摩西傳的；恩典和真理都是由耶穌基督來的。 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 1:18 從來沒有人看見 神，只有在父懷裏的獨生子將他表明出來。 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,( \f5 1:18 Or the Only Begotten|d),( \f6 1:18 Some manuscripts but the only (or| only begotten) Son) who is at the Father's side, has made him known. 1:19 約翰所作的見證記在下面：猶太人從耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到約翰那裏，問他說：「你是誰？」 Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 1:20 他就明說，並不隱瞞，明說：「我不是基督。」 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, <<I am not the Christ.( \f7 1:20 Or Messiah. <<The Christ>> (Greek) and <<the Messiah>>(Hebrew) both mean <<the Anointed One>>; also in verse 25.)>> 1:21 他們又問他說：「這樣，你是誰呢？是以利亞嗎？」他說：「我不是。」「是那先知嗎？」他回答說：「不是。」 They asked him, <<Then who are you? Are you Elijah?>> He said, <<I am not.>> <<Are you the Prophet?>> He answered, <<No.>> 1:22 於是他們說：「你到底是誰，叫我們好回覆差我們來的人。你自己說，你是誰？」 Finally they said, <<Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?>> 1:23 他說：「我就是那在曠野有人聲喊著說：『修直主的道路』，正如先知以賽亞所說的。」 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, <<I am the voice of one calling in the desert, <Make straight the way for the Lord.> >>(\f8 1:23 Isaiah 40:3) 1:24 那些人是法利賽人差來的〔或譯：那差來的是法利賽人〕； Now some Pharisees who had been sent 1:25 他們就問他說：「你既不是基督，不是以利亞，也不是那先知，為甚麼施洗呢？」 questioned him, <<Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?>> 1:26 約翰回答說：「我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你們中間，是你們不認識的， <<I baptize with(\f9 1:26 Or in; also in verses 31 and 33 \f9 1:26 Or in also in verses 31 and 33) water,>> John replied, <<but among you stands one you do not know. 1:27 就是那在我以後來的，我給他解鞋帶也不配。」 He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.>> 1:28 這是在約旦河外伯大尼〔有古卷：伯大巴喇〕，約翰施洗的地方作的見證。 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 1:29 次日，約翰看見耶穌來到他那裏，就說：「看哪， 神的羔羊，除去〔或譯：背負〕世人罪孽的！ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, <<Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 1:30 這就是我曾說：『有一位在我以後來、反成了在我以前的，因他本來在我以前。』 This is the one I meant when I said, <A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.> 1:31 我先前不認識他，如今我來用水施洗，為要叫他顯明給以色列人。」 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.>> 1:32 約翰又作見證說：「我曾看見聖靈，彷彿鴿子從天降下，住在他的身上。 Then John gave this testimony: <<I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 1:33 我先前不認識他，只是那差我來用水施洗的、對我說：『你看見聖靈降下來，住在誰的身上，誰就是用聖靈施洗的。』 I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, <The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.> 1:34 我看見了，就證明這是 神的兒子。」 I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.>> 1:35 再次日，約翰同兩個門徒站在那裏。 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. 1:36 他見耶穌行走，就說：「看哪！這是 神的羔羊！」 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, <<Look, the Lamb of God!>> 1:37 兩個門徒聽見他的話，就跟從了耶穌。 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 1:38 耶穌轉過身來，看見他們跟著，就問他們說：「你們要甚麼？」他們說：「拉比，在哪裏住？」（拉比翻出來就是夫子。） Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, <<What do you want?>> They said, <<Rabbi>> (which means Teacher), <<where are you staying?>> 1:39 耶穌說：「你們來看。」他們就去看他在哪裏住，這一天便與他同住；那時約有申正了。 <<Come,>> he replied, <<and you will see.>> So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour. 1:40 聽見約翰的話跟從耶穌的那兩個人，一個是西門‧彼得的兄弟安得烈。 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 1:41 他先找著自己的哥哥西門，對他說：「我們遇見彌賽亞了。」（彌賽亞翻出來就是基督。） The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, <<We have found the Messiah>> (that is, the Christ). 1:42 於是領他去見耶穌。耶穌看著他，說：「你是約翰的兒子西門〔約翰在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿〕，你要稱為磯法。」（磯法翻出來就是彼得。） And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, <<You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas>> (which, when translated, is Peter(\f10 1:42 Both Cephas (Aramaic) and Peter (Greek) mean rock)). 1:43 又次日，耶穌想要往加利利去，遇見腓力，就對他說：「來跟從我吧。」 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, <<Follow me.>> 1:44 這腓力是伯賽大人，和安得烈、彼得同城。 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 1:45 腓力找著拿但業，對他說：「摩西在律法上所寫的和眾先知所記的那一位，我們遇見了，就是約瑟的兒子拿撒勒人耶穌。」 Philip found Nathanael and told him, <<We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.>> 1:46 拿但業對他說：「拿撒勒還能出甚麼好的嗎？」腓力說：「你來看！」 <<Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?>> Nathanael asked. <<Come and see,>> said Philip. 1:47 耶穌看見拿但業來，就指著他說：「看哪，這是個真以色列人，他心裏是沒有詭詐的。」 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, <<Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false.>> 1:48 拿但業對耶穌說：「你從哪裏知道我呢？」耶穌回答說：「腓力還沒有招呼你，你在無花果樹底下，我就看見你了。」 <<How do you know me?>> Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, <<I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.>> 1:49 拿但業說：「拉比，你是 神的兒子，你是以色列的王！」 Then Nathanael declared, <<Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.>> 1:50 耶穌對他說：「因為我說『在無花果樹底下看見你』，你就信嗎？你將要看見比這更大的事」； Jesus said, <<You believe(\f11 1:50 Or Do you believe ... ?) because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that.>> 1:51 又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們將要看見天開了， 神的使者上去下來在人子身上。」 He then added, <<I tell you(\f12 1:51 The Greek is plural.) the truth, you(\f13 1:51 The Greek is plural.) shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.>> This is Alex Markley's PHPScripture v1.2.0, displaying a copy of Chinese Union Version Bible in XOOPS. 本模組中文化由長島基督福音教會的Jack起始, 聖經文字部分由CCIM(網路基督使團)網站下載. 如欲修改經文請洽聖經公會. 荒漠甘泉五合一■ 中文荒漠甘泉（03月05日）
三月五日 「我們若將起初確實的信心，堅持到底，就在基督裏有分了。」希伯來書三章14節 勝利是堅持到最後一步獲得的。在天路歷程一書中描述的危機四伏，越靠近天門，難關越多，那裏有迷樓，疑寨，及溫柔蠱惑之處，把疲倦的旅客誘入致命的夢鄉。旅伴啊！天堂高閣連雲，歷歷在望，正當這個時候，地獄之門卻大開，同時那地獄之門卻最富有吸引力，成了旅客的最大危機。「我們行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候，就要收成。」（加六9）「所以你們當跑，好叫你們得著獎賞。」（林前九24，直譯） 在苦海的波濤中， 一葉扁舟， 隨著風浪起伏升沈， 這是疑惑之岸吹來的寒風， 何等凜冽陰森。 以信心為錨， 拋在海底， 錨鍊在暴風雨繃得緊緊， 我鎮靜地把握住這救星， 它永遠可靠， 永遠穩妥。 魔鬼的攻擊雖然凶狠， 天使隱藏著， 一時還不顯現， 但我知道真理和正義， 乃為整個宇宙所維護。 在星空遙遠的那邊， 有勝過命運的慈愛， 黑暗過去， 光明之門大開， 我就會見到祂， 我願等待。 ─革萊頓

March 5 "We are made partaker of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end." (Heb. 3:14.) ＩT is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the Celestial City. It was there that Doubting Casthe stood. It was there that the enchanted ground lured the tired there that the enchanted ground lured the tired traveler to fatal slumber. It is when Heaven's heights are full in view that hell's gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril. "Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." "So run. that ye may obtain." In the bitter waves of woe Beaten and tossed about By the sullen winds that blow From the desolate shores of doubt, Where the anchors that faith has cast Are dragging in the gale, I am quietly holding fast To the things that cannot fail. And fierce though the fiends may fight, And long though the angels hide, I know that truth and right Have the universe on their side; And that somewhere beyond the stars Is a love that is better than fate. When the night unlocks her bars I shall see Him─and I will wait. ─Washington Gladden.

三月五日 神尋找代禱者 「祂見無人拯救、無人代求、甚為詫異。」以賽亞書五十九章16節 從古時，神一直垂聽祂子民中的代禱者並賜下拯救，在這裡我們讀到在有難處的日子裡，神要尋找一個代禱者卻是枉然，祂就詫異！試想——神詫異在祂子民中竟無一人愛祂的百姓到一個地步，或有充足的信心信祂能因著他們的緣故施拯救，並為人代求。如果當時能有一個代禱的人，祂都會施恩；由於連一個代禱的人都沒有，因而帶下神的審判。（參賽六四7；結廿二30—31） 一個代禱者在神的國度裡的地位是何等重要！難道那不是一件希奇的事嗎？神將這樣的權柄賜給人，而竟然無人知道甚麼是抓住祂所賜的能力，而藉禱告將祂的祝福帶到地上來。 讓我們來認識這個地位。當神在祂兒子裡產生新造之後，基督即登上祂的寶座，神國度的擴大之工即交在人的手中；祂永遠活著為我們禱告，禱告乃是最高的運用祂在寶座上為祭司、為君王的特權。基督在天上所要作的一切，都交通於祂地上的子民，在祂神聖的降卑中，神一直定意祂聖靈的工作是隨著祂子民的禱告，神等待著人的代求，表示人心已準備好——準備好他們在何處來接受聖靈，並接受多少。 神藉著神子民的禱告，管理這個世界及神的教會。「神要擴大祂的國度到何等地步」乃根據神百姓在禱告中的信心而定這是一個極大的奧秘是確定不移在他們身上，祂等待著他們。 禱告： 我們的父，開我們的眼睛，使我們看見您樂意給您的兒女，藉著忠心的代禱有份於國度的擴大，使我們真看見這個神聖呼召的榮耀，使我們全心將自己擺在這蒙福的服事中。阿們。

三月五日 祂真是主麼？ 「我卻不以性命為念，也不看為寶貴，只要行完我的路程，成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事……」使徒行傳廿章24節 快樂的意思，是指我其所以被造，和重生之完全成功而言，並不是指某事之成功而言。我們的主以行祂父差祂所行的事為樂，並且說：「您怎麼差我到世上，我也照樣差他們到世上。」（約十七17）我從主領受了職事麼？如果如此，我就當忠於這種職事，以我的生命完成那種職事。想想耶穌所說：「好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人」（太廿五21）這句話，便知道你完成祂差遣你所作的事，是如何的滿意！我們都想找尋我們生命適當之所，不過靈性方面，是要在我們從主領受職事時才能找著。為此，我們必要跟從耶穌；我們必須認識祂不僅是我們個人的救主而已。「我要指示他，為我的名必須受許多的苦難。」 「你愛我麼？」那麼，「你餵養我的羊。」沒有選擇服務的自由，只有絕對忠於我們主的職務；就是你與神最親最密之時所識別的職事。如果你從主耶穌領受了職事，你就知道需要的不是呼召；乃是機會。呼召是你忠於與祂接觸時所領受的職事。這不是說有甚麼一定服務的計劃，指定出來為你，卻是要你無感於其他服務的要求。

三月五日 「……我已經勝了世界」約翰福音十六章33節 神已經為我們戰勝了四個最可怕的仇敵：罪惡、疾病、悲哀、撒但。祂已經承擔了我們的罪，我們只需完全地交託祂。祂受鞭傷使我們得醫治，我們只要從舊疾站立起來，接受祂榮耀的生命和能力。祂也背負起我們的悲哀，我們不應該再有任何憂慮，而該時時喜樂，甚至在災難中仍有讚美。最重要的是，祂為我們戰勝了魔鬼，將牠釘在十字架上，讓牠既被踐踏又丟盡顏面，並且現出牠的原形。 只要我們接受神的救贖，宣稱我們的勝利，我們就能靠羔羊的血，和我們的見證戰勝魔鬼(啟十二11)。 親愛的，我們能戰勝罪惡、疾病、悲哀和撒但嗎？ 雖然爭戰不斷，不要懼怕。 雖然敵人強壯，不要昏倒。 信任你得勝主的能力， 與祂再同儆醒一個時候， 傾聽祂的呼喚：「跟隨我，因為我已為你戰勝了一切。」
