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（12月05日）
十二月五日 「耶和華阿，我曉得人的道路不由自己。行路的人，也不能定自己的腳步。」耶利米書十章23節 「求您……引導我走平坦的路。」詩篇廿七篇11節 許多人非但不聽從神的指導，反要指導神；非但不跟神走，反要神跟他走。─蓋恩夫人 我說： 「讓我走向野外．」 神說： 「不，你要領略城市的壯觀，」 我說： 「那裏沒有花」． 祂說： 「沒有花， 卻有一頂王冠。」 我說： 「可是天烏黑， 只有喧嘩與污濁，」 而祂含淚看著我， 說道： 「還有罪惡。」 我說： 「可是天氣陰霾， 濃霧遮掩了陽光；」 祂答道： 「正因為人們有病， 黑暗中盼望醫療之方。」 我說： 「我將失去光明， 朋友也將失去我這個伴侶；」 祂回答說： 「今夜就選擇， 失去他們， 還是與我共處。」 我懇求祂給我考慮的時間， 祂說： 「這有什麼難以決定？ 在天堂的觀點看來， 只要跟隨你嚮導者的足印。」 我回頭向野外看了一眼， 然後轉臉對著城市， 祂說： 「你願意了嗎？ 為王冠而放棄花兒」！ 然後我讓祂握住我的手， 祂進入我的心靈， 在神聖的光照下， 走向了先前所害怕的路徑。 ─麥克唐納

December 5 "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." (Jer. 10:23) "Lead me in a plain path." (Psalm 27:11) ＭANY people want to direct God, instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him; to show Him a way, instead of passively following where He leads. －Madame Guyon. I said: "Let me walk in the field"; God said: "Nay, walk in the town"; I said: "There are no flowers there"; He said: "No flowers, but a crown." I said: "But the sky is black, There is nothing but noise and din"; But He wept as he sent me back, "There is more," He said, "there is sin." I said: "But the air is thick, And fogs are veiling the sun"; He answered: "Yet souls are sick, And souls in the dark undone." I said: "I shall miss the light, And friends will miss me, they say"; He answered me, "Choose tonight, If I am to miss you, or they." I pleaded for time to be given; He said: "Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in Heaven To have followed the steps of your Guide." I cast one look at the fields, Then set my face to the town; He said: "My child, do you yield? will you leave the flowers for the crown?" Then into His hand went mine, And into my heart came He; And I walk in a light Divine, The path I had feared to see. －George MacDonald.

十二月五日 聖靈的愛 「所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」羅馬書五章5節 有很多基督徒，必須承認他的一生知道太少，如何像小孩般熱切的愛！也不能遵守基督第二個偉大誡命，去愛人如己；因為不願由愛的源頭支取能力，所以就無法熱愛主耶穌和弟兄。 為何會在這方面失敗呢？難道天父沒有為世上的兒女預備，使他們能愛祂又愛人嗎？祂確實有！神的兒女必須經常有更新的信心，神才能如此做，人試著衷心的愛神，他盡了全力，花費所有的時間，仍無法稍微的去愛神！哦！基督徒！相信神的愛一如生命的能力運行在你心中，你就能愛祂和弟兄了。不要再期望靠自己所產生極小的愛，相信神愛的大能，安靜地在你裏面教導你如何將祂的愛去對待神和弟兄。 從今天的經文來學習這個功課：「所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裏。」聖靈會使你愛神和弟兄甚至仇敵，深信兩件事！第一，靠自己的力量無法愛神和弟兄。第二、聖靈每一天、每一時在你裏面，將祂的愛充滿你的心；每天早上，你為一天交給聖靈保守而禱告說：「求您將基督的愛澆灌在我心中，使我能愛周圍的人。」

十二月五日 聖靈的殿 「惟獨在寶座上，我比你大。」創世記四一章40節 在神的支配之下，我用我的身體，是要對於神負責的。──保羅說，他不「廢掉神的恩典，」──使神的恩典不發生效力。神的恩典是絕對的，耶穌的救贖是完成了，是永遠完成的。我現在不是在得救的過程中，是曾經被救了。耶穌的救贖與神的寶座一樣永垂不朽；我所要做的是將神在裡面所作的做出來。「作成你們得救的工夫，」我必得負責任去做。那便是說，我須在這身體上表現主耶穌的生命，不是神祕的，卻是真實不虛的。「我是攻克己身，叫身服我。」每個聖徒能叫他的身體受神完全的節制。神造我們，已安置了一個聖靈統制的殿，想像和情感的機關。我們對於這些，是要負責的，我們必不可對於無節制的情感讓步。我們多數的人，嚴於對人，輕於對己；我們設法原諒自己，但對於我們所不傾向的事，人如果犯了，我們是要申斥的。 保羅說──「我勸你們，將身體獻上當作活祭。」──應當決定的一點是這──以我的身體作為我的主的殿，我同意麼？如果同意那麼我肉體的律的全部，綜合在這個啟示裡──我的身體是聖靈的殿。

十二月五日 「……他們都誠心立大衛作以色列的王。」歷代志上十二章38節 我們生命最高的目標何在呢？正如以色列人誠心要立大衛作王，我們的目的也是在於預備神的新婦，預備世人的心，預備耶和華的道路。 這大目標是否使我們其他的雄心、掛慮顯得渺小且不重要呢？是否能使我們擺上一切才幹、能力，內心得著滿足呢？是否能令我們將每時刻、所有的精力，以及一切的資源都用上呢？這目標是否令我們的工作和計劃有了一個明確方向和風格呢？是否影響了我們對孩子教育的選擇、金錢的投資、朋友的結交，及所有活動、興趣及對生命的展望呢？我們的靈魂體是否都為這目標而活？是否在凡事上、每一個思想中，我們都誠心立耶穌為王呢？ 我們心連心、手牽手地前進， 高舉神皇族般的旗幟， 走遍萬國萬邦， 在每一族每一國， 都預備著迎接神的新婦。 帶著無比的喜樂， 我們立耶穌為我們的王。
