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01日）
三月一日 「你要察看神的作為，因神使為曲的，誰能變為直呢？」傳道書七章13節 神似乎常把他的兒女放在極困難的處境中，使他們無法逃避，也無法解決。 這種處境絕非人類的判斷所能解決的，但這種陰暗際遇，自有其目的，也許你正在陷入這種際遇之中。 似乎你的遭遇是頂煩惱，頂嚴重，你也不懂得為甚麼神要如此待你，但是神的處理決沒有錯誤。不久你就會看見祂的美意。你所處的地位是一個戲臺，你正在戲臺上表演神的榮耀、恩典和權能。 祂不只要施行拯救；祂也要藉此使你學習一個不能遺忘的功課，叫你在事情經過之後，還能常常唱出新的讚美來發出足彀的感謝來。 ─選 「我們知道， 一切都在主的統馭之中， 所以我們必需靜待祂的解釋」 我雖模糊， 主，您卻完全知道， 總有一天， 您會解釋其中奧秘， 那時我才會明白是您最好的安排， 這些曲折， 正是教訓我對您的順服。 給我圍上了藩籬， 使我途徑成為曲折， 我的目光雖遊移不定， 但您卻成了目標； 糾正了我的不耐與高傲， 轉移了我的心， 只聽您的呼召。 我感謝您與讚美您曲折的安排， 我雖不知道， 還是一心信靠， 您把我作了試煉， 何等忭幸， 我要緊緊依靠著您的指導。

March 1 "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked.(Eccles. 7:13.) ＯFTEN God seems to place His children in positions of profound difficulty, leading them into a wedge from which there is no escape; contriving a situation which no human judgment would have permitted, had it been previously consulted. The very cloud conducts them thither. You may be thus involved at this very hour. It does seem perplexing and very serious to the last degree, but it is perfectly right. The issue will more than justify Him who has brought you hither. It is a platform for the display of His almighty grace and power. He will not only deliver you; but in doing so, He will give you a lesson that you will never forget, and to which, in many a psalm and song, in after days, you will revert. You will never be able to thank God enough for having done just as He has. ─Selected. "We may wait till He explains, Because we know that Jesus reigns." It puzzles me; but, Lord, Thou understandest, And wilt one day explain this crooked thing. Meanwhile, I know that it has worked out thy best─ Its very crookedness taught me to cling. Thou hast fenced up my ways, made my paths crooked, To keep my wand'ring eyes fixed on Thee; To make me what I was not, humble, patient; To draw my heart from earthly love to Thee. So I will thank and praise Thee for this puzzle, And trust where I cannot understand. Rejoicing Thou dost hold me worth such testing, I cling the closer to Thy guiding hand. ─F.E.M.I.
■ 永活之泉（03月01日）
三月一日 代禱 「互相代求。」雅各書五章16節 禱告中藏著何等榮耀的奧秘！一方面我們看見神在祂聖潔、慈愛、權能中等待著，渴望著要祝福人；而另一方面，一個猶如塵土中小蟲般微不足道的罪人，竟可藉著禱告帶下天上的生命及愛，住在人的裡面。 然而，代禱的榮耀更是何等大！當一個人大膽地對神說出他對別人之期望時，他尋求神，而神卻賜下祂的永遠生命之無窮大能及一切福氣，不止臨到某一個人，更可能是臨到千萬的人。 代禱！誰能說這不是作神兒女的膽量之最神聖的操練，以及與神交通的最高特權與享受？——也是神所使用的能力，作為工具，為了祂偉大的工作，就是使人成為祂的居所並彰顯祂的榮耀、誰能不認為代禱是教會該用以作為恩典的一個主要憑藉，並該盡一切的力量來培植神的兒女，成為這將毀世界不住禱告的能力。 誰不期望信徒們既已相當進入了這個秘訣將感覺到合一的力量是何等大，同時更確信神將為著祂所揀選的人，在祂面前晝夜的呼籲伸冤？只有當基督徒停止尋求外面合一的幫助，而專一地向寶座，並且對耶穌基督不住的奉獻，不停歇的祈求聖靈的能力，才會使教會穿上彩色的外衣和能力，以勝過世界。 禱告： 我們慈愛的父神，垂聽我們的禱告，並且教導您的教會教導我們每一個人，使我們知道代禱的榮耀、祝福，也是戰勝一切的力量。我們求您使我們看見代禱之於您，乃是您實現您那可稱頌主旨意的路——正如代禱之於我們，乃是我們君尊祭司權柄的運用。對於您的教會及將滅亡的人而言，乃是藉著代禱帶下滿有能力的聖靈——奉主耶穌的名。阿們。

三月一日 經常的問語 「你愛我麼？」約翰福音廿一章17節 彼得現在不敢回答甚麼（參太廿六33─35）。未改變的人固然要表白；而彼得的愛，因耶穌基督問語的刺激才能表白。彼得之愛耶穌，正如常人愛好人一樣。那是天性的愛；這也許進入人的深處，但不能觸到一個人的中心。真愛絕不講大語。耶穌說：「凡在人面前承認我的，」（太十32）那就是說，承認祂的愛，不但是用言語，卻也用行為。 若我們不棄掉一切自抬身價的事，神的道就無法與我們發生關係。罪惡能把感覺弄鈍，但是神的道刺激我們，比罪之刺激還要厲害。主的問語，叫情感緊張，直到被耶穌所刺，刺到妙極不能以言語形容的所在。這不是一種平常的刺激，卻是個人密切關係上的刺激。主的道把我們心靈刺成片碎，毫無迷惑存留。切不能把主的問語看為感傷的情調。當主直接向你說話的時候，你不可回答好聽的話，因為它是一種很重的刺激。當主的道刺激到祂兒女的時候，那刺激從不會錯誤的。同時應該知道刺激的焦點就是啟示的最高點。

三月一日 「要等候耶和華……」詩篇廿七章14節 在聖經中，雖然等候耶和華出現了很多次，但是瞭解的人並不多。有位老神父稱等候耶和華為「操練與神同在」；我則認為等候神是有禱告的習慣，是時時與主交通，不僅求且接受主的話語。有時有些人會要我們為他們禱告，而我們得說：「為什麼？神已回答了我們為你作的祈禱，神的答案正等著你了，但你必須在主前等候才能得到。」 當我們等候主時，就必須重新得力，直到我們「如鷹展翅上騰，奔跑卻不睏倦，行走卻不疲乏。」由於我們的心極有限，無法一口氣就全然接受祂豐富的一切，我們必須處在與祂同在的環境下，直到我們能完全得著祂的生命。這並且是屬靈深度，得享安息，充滿能力、愛和禱告，盼望和事奉的秘訣。所以我說，要等候神。 在神聖潔施恩座前， 我等候享受與主交通， 我在享受、甜美地享受我的主。 在祂腳前，我安靜地坐著， 深深地汲取祂的豐富生命， 傾聽祂輕聲的話語。
