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08日）
三月八日 「求您……照您所說的而行。願您的名永遠……被尊為大。」歷代志上十七章23—24節 這是一個真信的禱告的樣本。許多時候，我們所求的，並不是神所應許的。因此我們一時不會明白我們的禱告是否合乎神的旨意。大衛在這裡的禱告，告訴我們，他深信所求應許；在這種時候，我們只須帶著信心，用手指按著那應許，祈求神說：「求您照您所說的而行。」這是最美麗，最有力，最穩妥的禱告。用不著焦急，用不著苦求，用不著掙扎；我們只要拿出支票來兌現就是了——拿出應許來，要求實踐。這樣，會增加我們禱告的興趣。求一件神的應許，遠勝求一百件不清楚神旨的事情。 ─梅爾 聖經中每一個應許，都是神親筆簽字的，我們都可以去要求：「求您照您所說的而行。」創造者決不會欺騙信靠祂的受造者；天上的父決不會對祂自己的孩子失信。 「求您記念向您僕人所應許的那叫我有盼望的話」（詩一一九49，直譯）是一個最有力的禱告。他給神的理由是：這是您的話，您豈不守信麼？如果您不實踐，又何必說呢？您既叫我在您的話上有盼望，難道要使我失去您自己所給我的盼望麼？ ─司布真 「且滿心相信，神所應許的必能作成。」（羅四21） 神的永久信實使聖經中的應許「又寶貴，又極大。」（彼後一4）人的應許常是一無價值的。許多毀約使人心碎。但是神從創世以來，從來沒有向祂的孩子失過一次信。 哦，一個基督人在痛苦之夜站在應許的門口，不敢拿門閂，這是何等可憐呢？他應該放膽進去，猶如一個孩子進父親的家一般。 ─葛納爾 神每一個應許都是建立在四個根基上的；神的公義，神的聖潔，神的恩典，神的真實。神的公義，不讓祂失信；神的聖潔，不讓祂欺騙；神的恩典，不讓祂遺忘；神的真實，不讓祂改變。

March 8 "Do as thou hast said, that thy name may be magnified forever." (1 Chron. 17:23, 24.) ＴHIS is a most blessed phase of true prayer. Many a time we ask for things which are not absolutely promised. We are not sure thereforce until we have persevered for some time whether our petitions are in the line of God's purpose or no. There are other occasions, and in the life of David this was one, when we are fully persuaded that When we ask is according to God's will. We feel led to take up and plead some promise from the page of Scripture, under the special impression that it contains a message for us. At such times, in confident faith, we say, "Do as Thou hast said." There is hardly any position more utterly beautiful, strong, or safe, than to put the finger upon some promise of the Divine word, and claim it. There need be no anguish, or struggle, or wrestling; we simply present the check and ask for cash, produce the promise, and claim its fulfillment; nor can there be any doubt as to the issue. It would give much interest to prayer, if we were more definite. It is far better to claim a few things specifically than a score vaguely. ─F. B. Meyer. Every promise of Scripture is a wrinting of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: "Do as Thou hast said." The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child. "Remember the word unto thy servant, on which thou hast caused me to hope," is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: it is Thy Word. Wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast thou spoken of it, if Thou wilt not make it good. Thou hast caused me to hope in it, wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou has Thyself begotten in me? ─C. H. Spurgeon. "Being absolutely certain that whatever promise he is bound by, he is able also to make good." (Rom. 4:21, Weymouth's Translation.) It is the everlasting faithfulness of God that makes a Bible promise "exceeding great and precious." Human promises are often worthless. Many a broken promise has left a broken heart. But since the world was made, God has never broken a single promise made to one of His trusting children. Oh, it is sad for a poor Christian to stand at the door of the promise, in the dark night of affliction, afraid to draw the latch, whereas he should then come boldly for shelter as a child into his father's house. ─Gurnal. Every promise is built upon four pillars: God's justice and holiness, which will not suffer Him to deceive; His grace or goodness, which will not suffer Him to forget; His truth, which will not suffer Him to change, which makes Him able to accomplish. ─Selected.

三月八日 代禱的學校 「基督在肉體的時候，既大聲哀哭，流淚禱告，懇求那能救祂免死的主，就因祂的虔誠，蒙了應允。」希伯來書五章7節 基督為元首，是天上的代禱者，我們乃是祂的身體，在地上與祂同工。我們不要以為基督沒有出任何代價而成為一個代禱者；祂若未出代價就不能成為我們的榜樣。以賽亞書五十三章10—12節曾論到祂說：「耶和華以祂為贖罪祭，祂必看見後裔……祂必看見自己勞苦的功效……我要使祂與位大的同分……因為祂將命傾倒以致於死。」注意，其三度地說到祂將祂的命傾倒。 祂將命傾倒——就是代禱的神聖意義；唯有如此，才能使祂的奉獻及禱告能在神面前有能力。祂經過了生與死，使祂得以拯救將要滅亡的人。祂如此的獻上自己，乃是一種在神面前大有能力之靈的顯出。 如果我們這些與主耶穌同勞苦的，也是祂的助手的人，意欲有份於祂代禱的能力，就必先有份於祂生命的痛苦，為了代禱的至大工作，必先獻上我們的一生及一切的喜好。代禱絕不可是一時的熱心；它必須是一個一直在加重的迫切願望，是我們所期望並生活的目的，超乎一切之上的。只有不顧生命捨己的生活，才能使代禱有能力（徒十五26，廿20；腓二17；啟十二11）。 我們愈思想這個蒙福的事實並為了神的榮耀，及人的救贖而運用代禱的意義，我們就愈深的相信放下一切而有份於基督代禱的工作，是最值得的。 禱告： 可稱頌的主耶穌啊，求您教導我們如何與您聯合，為了您所買回來的人向神呼籲；願您的愛充滿我們及您的聖徒，使我們能學習為著認識您聖靈的大能而懇求。阿們。

三月八日 放棄的生命 「我已經與基督同釘十字架。」加拉太書二章20節 不但願離棄罪孽，還願放棄他處世接物的整個方法，才能與耶穌基督聯合。從上頭的聖靈而生，意思是說，在開始的階段我們必得先放棄一切的虛偽。我們的主要我們向祂呈獻的，不是善德，不是正直，也不是努力，卻是要我們把罪孽帶到祂的面前。但是，祂拿甚麼來換取我們的罪呢？就是仁義。那麼，我們必要放棄一切自擅的才能，和一切對於神有價值的思想。 此後，神的靈必要指示我們還有甚麼是應當放棄的。那就是要放棄任何屬於自己的權利。我願意放棄一切既得的權利，既得的愛情，而與耶穌基督同死麼？ 在我們實行放棄以前，我們總要經過一種放棄的痛苦。當一個人認識自己，如主認識他一樣，那叫他驚恐的，並不是那震動他肉體的罪，卻是他心裡頑強的自傲。當他因主的光而認識自己的當兒，羞辱驚懼和覺悟都相逼而來。 如果你要解決放棄的問題，走過難關，放棄一切，那麼，神定會使你適於祂的需要。

三月八日 「……你們要禱告……」路加福音廿二章40節 禱告是推動宣教事工的力量，所以我們要向收莊稼的主祈禱，求祂打發工人出去、收祂的莊稼。(太九38) 我們每天都要求神感動人心，使他們受聖靈的催逼到國外去傳福音。我們可以求神使他們夜間醒來，心中深信許多他鄉的外邦人正在沈淪之中，而且他們若不傳福音，那些外邦人的血就會落在他們頭上。只要我們禱告，神就會差遣一些人，讓他們覺得「王的事甚急」。(撒上廿一8) 親愛的，我們禱告了還要禱告。當我們所祈求的到達天上時，天上會有片刻的沈默；但是地上的聖徒卻會變得火熱，主的再臨也會因此加快。讓我們不斷祈求收莊稼的主，直到祂差遣許許多多的工人出去。 願神從天降下 屬天的火， 使我們心中充滿強烈的渴慕， 直到我們的禱詞如同香一樣達到祂那裡。
