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17日）
三月十七日 「住在那裏，等我吩咐你。」馬太福音二章13節 親愛的主， 我願留在您安置我的地方； 我雖渴望離此遠颺， 我有意和大隊一起前進， 是的， 您知道我要做他們的領導人。 為了鮮明的旗幟而歡呼， 把腳步配合著軍樂的悠揚， 光榮地身先士卒， 馳騁疆場， 但我願留在您安置我的地方。 親愛的主， 我願留在您安置我的地方； 地的面積狹小， 而又是一片荒涼， 石礫既多， 土質更是澆薄， 似乎不會有生命在此滋長。 這是您的土地， 只要給我種子， 我將放膽去播種插秧， 我願耕耘， 等待雨水沛降， 一旦綠曲抽茁， 我將欣喜若狂！ 我願留在您安置我的地方。 親愛的主， 我願留在您安置我的地方； 我永遠敬虔忠誠來信靠您， 白日的辛勞和炎熱， 我都願一嘗， 夜間我可伏臥在您的腳旁。 當我把塵世的工作一一做完， 將可沐浴在永世的榮光， 來結束我一生的全部紀錄， 那時， 我必發覺留著比離開更為適當； 我願留在您安置我的地方。 哦，不安定的心哪！你跳得多麼厲害，撞在環境的鐵欄上，想衝出去到外面更寬大的場地去工作。靜下來罷，讓神替你安排你的日子罷！今天的忍耐和信靠，就是將來神差你出去作大事業的預備。 ─選

March 17 "Be thou there till I bring thee word." (Matt. 2:13.) "I'll stay where You've put me; I will, dear Lord, Though I wanted so badly to go; I was eager to march with the`rank and lile,' Yes, I wanted to lead them, You know. I planned to keep step to the music loud, To cheer when the banner unfurled, To stand in the midst of the fight straight and proud, But I'll stay where You've put me. "I'll stay where You've put me; I'll work, dear Lord, Though the field be marrow and small, And the ground be fallow, and the stones lie thick, And there seems to be no life at all. The field is Thine own, only give me the seed, I'll sow it with never a fear; I'll till the dry soil while I wait for the rain, And rejoice when the green blades appear; I'll work where You've put me. "I'll stay where You've put me; I will, dear Lord; I'll bear the day's burden and heat, Always trusting Thee fully; when even has come I'll lay heavy sheaves at Thy feet. And then, when my earth work is ended and done, In the light of eternity's glow, Life's record all closed, I surely shall find It was better to stay than to go; I'll stay where You've put me." "Oh restless heart, that beat against your prison bars of circumstances, yearning for a wider sphere of usefulness, leave God to order all your days. Patience and trust, in the dullness of the routine of life, will be the best preparation for a courageous bearing of the tug and strain of the larger opportunity which God may some time send you."

三月十七日 為個別的靈魂代禱 「……你們……的將被收集，啊！以色列人哪……。」以賽亞書廿七章12節 我們身體裡面的每一肢體，都有它固定的位置；在社會上或在教會中也是如此。工作是整體的利益及完善的目標，但目標之達成，卻是藉著每一個肢體的配搭工作。 在教會中有一種普遍的想法，就是人們的得救乃是神僕人的事。由於他通常都是與群眾接觸，卻少有機會接觸到個人。這就造成雙重的虧損。信徒本身不明白他該對他四周的人作見證—─這可使他自己的屬靈生命活潑剛強，又可使人蒙恩。由於不信的人所接觸到的信徒沒有把基督個別的傳給他，他就受到說不出的虧損。我們極少發現有人想到該為著四周的人代禱。基督徒的生活需要恢復代禱應佔的地位——那對教會及其中一切事奉是多麼重要！ 哦！基督徒甚麼時候認清這個偉大的事實，神在天上渴望要作的需要地上的禱告，這是不可或缺的。只要認識這件事時，我們才看見代禱是使靈魂得救的主要因素。若沒有聖靈的能力顯出在禱告的事工上，一切努力都是徒然；只有當神的僕人與子民在禱告與見證上合一時，教會才會興旺，每個信徒才明白他們該作的是甚麼。 我們如何能激發起代禱的靈？答案是兩面的。一面要每一個基督徒當他一開始領悟到代禱的能力及需要時，就開始為著個別的靈魂從事實際的代禱事工。為著你的兒女、親人、朋友、及所有神在你四周所安排的人代禱。如果你感覺代禱缺乏能力時，謙卑俯伏在施恩座前，神要每一個蒙救贖的兒女為那些將滅亡的人代禱。禱告乃如正常基督徒生活的呼吸一般重要——證明那是從上面來的。 然後迫切不斷地禱告神將聖靈的能力賜給你，及所有你四周所有神的兒女們，使代禱之能顯在蒙神尊重的地位中。

三月十七日 工人之支配慾 「我們立了志向要得主的喜悅。」哥林多後書五章9節 「我們立了志向……」要把主的鴻圖放在前面，跟著不離，那是艱苦的工作。那便是說一年一年的勉強自己達到最高的理想。不是要感動甚麼人，建設甚麼教會，開甚麼奮興會，僅僅是企圖「得主的喜悅」。不是缺少靈性經驗而失敗，乃是缺乏努力保持正當的理想。至少要每禮拜一次把我們所行的拿到神面前，看我們的生活是否遵照神所期望的標準。保羅像一位音樂家，他所要求的是教他的人的讚賞，不問聽眾的讚賞。 任何企圖稍微偏離「求悅於神」的中心，其結果或是我們成為撇棄的人。習於辨別志向所達到的歸結，你就明白為甚麼要仰望耶穌基督而生活的緣故。保羅說：「我是攻克己身，叫身服我，恐怕我傳福音給別人，自己反被棄絕了。」（林前九27） 我要習於將各種事件去與主要的企圖發生關係，保持而不間斷。我對社會顯明的價值，就是以我私人的價值為標準。我主要的企圖是討祂的歡心，要得祂的喜悅呢？抑是次一等的好呢？

三月十七日 「祂記念祂的約，直到永遠……」詩篇一百零五篇8節 我們若是在律法中靠自己的能力掙扎，我們會一直在罪的控制下。但當我們走出西乃山的陰影，欣然地接受基督的恩典和祂白白賜予的全然救恩，一切的掙扎就會成為歷史。因祂曾應許作我們思想上和感情上的公義主，我們能藉著祂稱義，並且求祂保守我們，在遇到任何敵對的情況時，仍然能在祂完全的旨意和平安之中。 我們真的知道且相信這的確是福音的應許，以及新約的本質嗎？我們是否相信基督已保證將祂的律放在我們心中，使我們能按著祂的命令行事，並且遵守祂的旨意？我們確實瞭解神曾向亞伯拉罕所起的誓：叫他既從仇敵手中被救出來，就可以終身在神面前坦然無懼的用聖潔、公義事奉祂(路一74、75)。神也曾向我們起誓祂會像對待亞伯拉罕一樣待我們，祂會實現祂的應許，因為祂是信實的，讓我們完全依靠祂。
