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（01月28日）
一月廿八日 「我為你們起的憤恨，原是神那樣的憤恨。」哥林多後書十一章2節（衛莫司譯本） 一個善奏古琴的琴師，何等寵愛他的古琴呢！他把它懷抱在胸中，撫它、親它、偎它！他和它相依為命。可是，你看他怎樣調整弦音。他把它緊緊握住，用力地在弦上撥一下；弦立刻震顫，好似驚痛之下的戰慄；他側耳細聽，覺得弦音粗浮，還未準確。於是他把弦絞緊；彈撥再三，直等到它能發出柔和準確的聲音來。他臉上纔露出笑容，點頭滿意。 親愛的，其實神也是如此對待你。祂愛你遠勝琴師愛琴，祂發你的聲音不和諧。祂把你緊緊抓住，用力撥你的心弦；祂側耳細聽，豈知你所發的聲音仍是咒詛和怨言；祂只得絞緊你的心弦，再撥，再彈，直等你的聲音是讚美、感謝，和「不要成就我的意思，只要成就您的意思。」（路廿二40）——神所最喜聽的音樂。 ─選 豎琴有許多琴弦， 在愛的旋律中震顫， 一一和諧合拍， 流露出蘊蓄的甜美。 忽有一二弦驀地斷裂崩弛， 破壞了緊湊， 就如不起的波瀾的一泓死水。 愛的狂喜和傷痛相連， 取得王冠的手， 必曾受過許多苦難和酸痛； 未曾爭鬥的人， 不會有得勝者的榮譽， 經過了辛苦， 才能領略休息和平靜的美夢。 阿爾卑斯山的遊客， 唯有在兩場風雨之間， 才能欣賞天空的明淨和霞光的奇觀， 如果夏季永遠碧空無雲， 也會有十丈紅塵飛揚迷漫。 悲哀與快樂， 誰也不能作分別的選擇， 雨者， 必須都有體念， 否則懵懂恍惚， 無所知悉， 沒有非常的痛苦， 就沒有非常的福祉， 對苦痛麻木的心靈， 對福祉也不會敏感。

January 28 "I am jealous over you with God's own jealousy." (2Cor. 11:2.)(Weymouth.) ＨOW an old harper dotes on his harp! How he fondles and caresses it, as a child resting on his bosom! His life is bound up in it. But, see him tuning it. He grasps it firmly, strikes a chord with a sharp, quick blow; and while it quivers as if in pain, he leans over intently to catch the first note that rises. The note, as he feared, is false and harsh. He strains the chord with the torturing thumb-screw; and though it seems ready to snap with the tension, he strikes it again, bending down to listen softly as before, till at length you see a smile on his face as the first true tone trembles upward. So it may be that God is dealing with you. Loving you better than any harper loves his harp, He finds you a mass of jarring discords. He wrings your heartstrings with some torturing anguish; He bends over you tenderly, striking and listening; and, hearing only a harsh murmur, strikes you again, while His heart bleeds for you, anxiously waiting for that strain－"Not my will, but thine be done"─which is melody sweet to His ear as angels' songs. Nor will He cease to strike until your chastened soul shall blend with all the pure and infinite harmonies of His own being. ─Selected. "Oh, the sweetness that dwells in a harp of many strings, While each, all vocal with love in a tuneful harmony rings! But, oh, the wail and the discord, when one and another is rent, Tensionless, broken and lost, from the cherished instrument. "For rapture of love is linked with the pain or fear of loss, And the hand that takes the crown, must ache with many a cross; Yet he who hath never a conflict, hath never a victor's palm, And only the toilers know the sweetness of rest and calm, "Only between the storms can the Alpine traveller know Transcendent glory of clearness, marvels of gleam and glow; Had he the brightness unbroken of cloudless summer days, This had been dimmed by the dust and the veil of a brooding haze. "Who would dare the choice, neither or both to know, The finest quiver of joy or the agony thrill of woe! Never the exquisite pain, then never the exquisite bliss, For the heart that is dull to that can never be striung to this."

一月廿八日 全心 「我全心尋求了您。」詩篇一一九篇10節原文 請注意詩人在這裡頻頻提起全心這兩個字。「全心尋求祂的。」（2節）「我便遵守您的律法，且要全心遵守。」（34節）「我卻要全心守您的訓詞。」（69節）「我全心呼籲您。」（145節）無論是為著尋求神，為著遵守祂的律法，或為著呼籲祂的幫助，每次都要用全心。 我們如果要把屬世的事作得成功，我們就把我們的全心都放在裡面。在事奉這位聖潔之神的事上，我們豈不更需要擺上全心麼？難道祂不配麼？祂至高的聖潔以及我們心中厭棄神的天性，豈不更要求我們該擺上全心麼？當我們在隱密處敬拜祂的時候，我們需要用全心來事奉祂。 但是有大多數的基督徒，根本沒有想到這一點！他們在禱告的時候，在讀神話語的時候，在努力遵行祂旨意的時候，從不記得需要一直說這一句話：「我們全心尋求您。」是的，當我們禱告的時候，當我們想要明白神話語的時候，當我們要遵行祂旨意的時候，但願我們能說：「我渴慕用全心來尋求神，來事奉神，並討祂的喜悅。」 「我全心尋求了您。」親愛的讀者啊！請把這句話放在你的心裡，把它思想過、禱告過。你要在神面前，把它說出來，直等到你感覺你真的知道你所說的是甚麼，並且確實相信神要聽你的禱告。每天早晨，當你進到神面前去禱告的時候，都請說這句話：「我全心尋求您。」你會逐漸的覺得需要在聖潔的安靜裡等候神，這樣祂就要得著你整個的心，你也就要學習用你的全心和全力來愛祂。

一月廿八日 難相信一個人能這樣逼害耶穌 「掃羅，掃羅，為甚麼逼迫我？」使徒行傳廿六章14節 我替神決定我自己的道路麼？除非我們被領進聖靈和火洗的經驗裡面去，我們難得擺脫這種圈套。頑固和我見總是阻擋耶穌基督的，也許不傷害別人，卻傷害祂的靈。無論何時，我們固執己見，決定我們自己的雄圖，我們就損傷了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的權利，堅持我們所要作的事，我們就逼迫了耶穌。無論何時，我們要保持自己的尊嚴，我們就故意的使祂的靈憂傷了。當我們覺悟我們所逼迫的是耶穌，才有保羅在大馬色路上的覺悟迸出來。 我把神的道傳給人，我自己是否持守了這道呢？抑或我的生命與我所傳的道不一致呢？我也許教人成聖，自己反而表露撒但的精神，危逼耶穌基督的精神。耶穌的靈只感覺一件事──完全與父合一，祂說：「我心裡柔和謙卑，學我的樣式。」（太十一29）我一切所作的，應該建立在與祂完全合一的上面，不在自己決定如何敬虔的上面。這樣，或者我是易於受欺，易於受委屈，易於受人輕視；但是如果我因祂的緣故忍受這一切，耶穌基督之受逼便停止了。

一月廿八日 「這些事我已經對你們說了，是要叫我的喜樂存在你們心裡，並叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。」約翰福音十五章11節 有一種喜樂乃是油然從心中發出的，並不需要任何外在或甚至合理的原因。這種喜樂宛如一口深水井，自然流露、完全不能自已。因為這樣的喜樂是神的榮耀，是因基督的心，更因主叫祂的喜樂存在我們心裡，並叫我們的喜樂可以滿足。 這樣的喜樂是人不能挪去的，因為有喜樂泉源的人，不會被環境左右、顯得失望；相反的，這些人經常因有毫無原因、但深且甘甜的喜樂，而覺得驚訝。這種喜樂往往在環境最艱難、在人最容易覺得痛苦和沮喪時，顯得更加豐富。這情景就像我們心中有隻夜鶯，在夜間時嘹亮地歌唱。 這種榮耀不朽的喜樂，不僅是屬天的，而且已經成為永恆的歌聲。主啊！在任何情況之下，您都賜給我們喜樂，讓我們心中的祝福滿溢、使我們成為他人的祝福。
