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07日）
三月七日 「我們……周圍遭患難。」哥林多後書七章5節 為甚麼神這樣帶領我們，應許患難一直臨到我們？第一，神彀用的恩典和能力可以彰顯得更完全，遠勝在安逸中。「我們有這寶貝放在瓦器裏，要顯明這莫大的能力，是出於神，不是出於我們。」（林後四7） 第二，患難使我們更依靠神。神一直在教導我們依靠祂，讓祂把我們緊緊握在手中，把所有的難處交給祂，由祂照顧。 第三，主自己曾站過那「四圍遭患難」之地，今天祂也要我們去站；並不用自己的力，乃是一直用手拉住祂，不敢獨自跨前一步，用以訓練我們的信心。 第四，除了在患難中，沒有別的地方可以學習信心的功課。四週遭患難之地是神所設立的信心學校，在那裏我們受到信心的訓練。 信心的祕訣一次學會，就永遠會了，並且是一個永遠的幸福；有信，貧窮變為富足；沒有信，富足也是貧窮。 ─譯自屬天的日子 別人歡唱， 我為何悲哭？ 「為了探測苦海的深度。」 別人休息， 我為何工作？ 「為了出力完成神的吩咐。」 別人獲得， 我為何損失？ 「為了體驗失敗的慘痛。」 美好的幸福為你所有， 為何厄運偏糾纏我， 自朝至暮？ 「因為神知道如此的安排， 將使我在永恆中獲得無上豐富。」

March 7 "We are troubled on every side." (2 Cor. 7:5.) ＷHY should God have to lead us thus, and allow the pressure to be so hard and constant? Well, in the first place, it shows His all-sufficient strength and grace much better than if we were exempt from pressure and trial. "The treasure is in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." It makes us more conscious of our dependence upon Him. God is constantly trying to teach us our dependence, and to hold us absolutely in His hand and hanging upon His care. This was the place where Jesus Himself stood and where He wants us to stand, not with self-constituted strength, but with a hand ever leaning upon His, and a trust that dare not take one step alone. It teaches us trust. There is no way of learning faith except by trial. It is God's school of faith, and it is far better for us to learn to trust God than to enjoy life. The lesson of faith once learned, is an everlasting acquisition and an eternal fortune made; and without trust even riches will leave us poor. ─Days of Heaven upon Earth. "Why must I weep when others sing? `To test the deeps of suffering.' Why must I workd while others rest? `To spend my strength at God's request.' Why must I lose while others gain? `To understand defeat's sharp pain.' Why must this lot of life be mine When that which fairer seems is thine? `Because God knows what plans for me Shall blossom in eternity.'"

三月七日 神所尋找的代禱者 「耶路撒冷啊，我在你城上設立守望的，他們晝夜必不靜默。呼籲耶和華的，你們不要歇息，也不要使他歇息。」以賽亞書六十二章6—7節 守望者通常是設立在城牆上，隨時可將要臨到的危險通知官長。神設立的守望者不僅是他們警戒世人——通常人都不願聽——並且要他們有需要或敵人威脅時，呼喊神來幫助他們。代禱者最大的特點乃是晝夜不靜默、不歇息，也不使神歇息，直到神的拯救來臨。他們心中確知神必垂聽他們的禱告。 就是為著這件事，主耶穌說：「神的選民晝夜呼籲祂，祂豈不終久給他們伸冤嗎？」我們到處聽到神的教會受到世界及其世俗觀念的影響，已逐漸失去對信徒的影響力。罪人悔改及神子民聖潔的見證已不多見。大多數的基督徒全然忽略了基督要他們有份於祂國度之擴充的呼召。聖靈的能力經歷得非常有限。 在有關於如何使青年人、老人對神的話發生興趣，如何喚起他們對神事務服事的愛心等的談論中，聽不到多少不可或缺之聖靈的能力，在教會的服事及弟兄姊妹中間。由於禱告之缺乏，因而看不到甚麼信心及悔改的標記：聖靈的工作顯得非常微弱。唯有同心迫切地禱告才能導致轉變。如果神的選民向神晝夜呼籲，則時間該是現在。親愛的讀者，你不願意將自己獻給神有份於此蒙福的代禱工作嗎？你不樂意學習將代禱視為一生中最高的特權，使你得以成為一條途徑，使神的祝福能藉著你的代禱而被帶到地上來嗎？ 禱告： 永遠可稱頌的神啊，求您垂聽我們的祈求，求您親自興起您所喜悅的代禱者。求您賜給我們專以您的事為念的人，從不歇息地向您祈求，直等到您再一次使您的教會在地上成為可讚美的器皿。可稱頌的父啊，您的靈教導我們如何禱告。阿們。

三月七日 大膽的發光 「然而靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了。」羅馬書八章37節 保羅是說到那些似乎將聖徒和神的愛分開的事。但奇妙的，是沒有甚麼能將神的愛和聖徒截成兩段。這些事能夠來到聖徒的心靈和神之間，使個人生命與神脫離關係，但是沒有甚麼事能使神的愛與聖徒的靈截成兩段。我們基督徒信仰的基石，是神在十字架上所表現的愛，這種愛是我們從不配，也永不配得的。保羅說，這就是我們在這一切的事上得勝有餘──萬能的得勝者──的原因，而這樣的快樂是因著那些像要壓倒我們的事得到的。 浮浪的海潮，固使平常游泳者感覺困難，而在善於游泳者，以浮浪的海潮為無上的樂事。把這應用到我們的情景上來，這些事──患難、困苦、逼迫都使我們有無上的快樂；是不應當拒絕的。我們靠著主，在這一切的事上，已經得勝有餘了，不是忍受這些事，卻是要在這些事當中得勝。聖徒從不輕視患難，卻因患難而知道主的快樂。保羅說：「就是在患難中，也是歡歡喜喜的。」（羅五3） 大膽的發光不是建在任何暫時的事情上，卻是建在不能更改的神的愛上。生活的經驗，無論是恐怖或是乏味，是不能觸及我們的主耶穌基督裡所表現的神的愛。

三月七日 「……施比受更為有福。」使徒行傳二十章35節 我們如何知道肉體的和屬天的愛差別何在？屬肉體的愛以自我為中心，而且只追求滿足自我。屬天的愛則以愛神、愛人為中心，以榮耀、讚美祂為喜樂。真愛是不自私的，所以若不是不自私的愛，就不是從神來的。 讓我們想想，我們給別人的有多少，為自己求的有多少？我們生命的中心是我們自己，還是主、或是祂的子民和事工呢？ 求神更加幫助我們瞭解這個施比受更為有福的偉大真理。「因為凡要救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；凡為我和福音喪掉生命的，必救了生命。」(可八35) 你若曾找到一些珍貴的寶藏， 就該與人分享。 你若曾享受到屬靈的喜樂， 就該與人分享。 給掉一半，擁有的卻加倍， 而愛更能使一切祝福都增加。 所以讓我們更勤勞地事奉， 學習與人分享。
