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06日）
三月六日 「我們曾信……」路加福音廿四章21節（直譯） 我常常覺得很是難過：往以馬忤斯去的兩個門徒不對耶穌說：「我們仍信」；卻說：「我們曾信……。」可憐，他們以為事情都完了。 他們若說：「似乎每一件事情都使我們失望；似乎我們的信心落了空，但是我們並不灰心；我們相信我們要再見祂……」豈不好麼？可惜他們並沒有這麼說，他們站在祂旁邊，臉上帶著愁容，以為主已死了三天；難怪主責備他們說：「無知的人哪……你們的心，信得太遲鈍了！」（25節） 親愛的，我們有否相似的情形，受主同樣的責備？我們寧可放棄任何東西，每一件東西，卻不能放棄對主的信心。 讓我們不像這兩個門徒一樣，把我們的信心變成過去式——「我們曾信…。」讓我們永遠堅持現在式的信心—─「我們永信。」 ─碎錦 溫暖的春天已去， 那枝頭開滿如錦鮮花。 玫瑰怒放的季節， 我曾盼望， 現在仍在盼望祂…… 如今玫瑰不開， 花事闌珊， 若畏縮躊躇， 我的信心何顢頇； 尤其風雪欲來的此刻， 若灰心失望， 更是脆弱可歎。 ─風雪中小鳥之歌

March 6 "We trusted." (Luke 24:21.) ＩHAVE always felt so sorry that in that walk to Emmaus the disciples had not said to Jesus, "We still trust"; instead of "We trusted." That is so sad─something that is all over. If they had only said, "Everything is against our hope; it looks as if our trust was vain, but we do not give up; we believe we shall see Him again." But no, they walked by His side declaring their lost faith, and He had to say to them "O fools, and slow of heart to believe!" Are we not in the same danger of having these words said to us? We can afford to lose anything and everything if we do not lose our faith in the God of truth and love. Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in a past tense─"We trusted." But let us ever say, "I am trusting." ─Crumbs. The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing, Bright were the blossoms on every bough: I trusted Him when the roses were blooming; I trust Him now.... Small were my faith should it weakly falter Now that the roses have ceased to blow; Frail were the trust that now should alter, Doubting His love when storm clouds grow. ─The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm.

三月六日 基督為代禱者 「凡靠著祂進到神面前的人，祂都能拯救到底；因為祂是長遠活著，替他們祈求。」 當神在以賽亞書裡說過祂找不到一個代禱者，就甚詫異；接著又說：「祂用自己的膀臂施行拯救。必有一位救贖主來到錫安。」（賽五九16、20）神親自預備一位真正的代求者，祂曾論到祂的兒子基督：「……祂卻擔當多人的罪，又為罪犯代求。」（賽五三12） 基督在世上的生活中，已經開始祂代禱的職事。試想主為著祂的門徒及一切信祂名的人那個大祭司的禱告。再想想祂對彼得所說的話：「我已為你禱告，使你不致失去信心。」——這就證明祂的代禱是非常個人的。在十字架上，祂代禱著：「父啊，赦免他們」。 神如今已坐在神的右邊，祂仍為大祭司，繼續不斷地作代禱的工作。所不同者，祂將這個權利賜給祂的門徒，使他們也有份於祂的事工。在祂臨別談話中，七次的保證他們無論向祂求甚麼，祂都為他們成全。 天上的權能已賜給了人。神的恩典與權能等著人向祂祈求。藉著聖靈的引導，人能知道神的旨意。他們學習在信心中奉祂名祈求。祂要將他們的祈求帶到神面前，藉著祂和門徒們同心的代禱，使教會披戴聖靈的權能。 禱告： 可稱頌的救贖主啊：您呼召我們有份於您的代禱，乃是何等奇妙的恩典。我們喚醒您蒙救贖的兒女，使我們得知我們所蒙的呼召是何其榮耀，並得知您的救會在軟弱中，仍能因奉您的名代求而將天上極豐盛的祝福帶下。求您的聖靈在人裡面作工，使您的子民深深懊悔我們限制了禱告，以及懶惰、不信、自私的罪，深信您的愛使您的渴望賜下禱告的靈，以答應我們的祈求——奉您的名。阿們。

三月六日 一大堆無謂的事 「就如在許多的忍耐、患難、窮乏、困苦……」哥林多後書六章4節 於無異象，無監護者的時候，要對付當前的順從，當前的研究，當前的瀏覽，當前的烹調；非訴之於全能的恩惠不可。你欲完成當前的本分，沒有從神來的異象，沒有勉勵，沒有監護者更是不行。傳福音固然重要，而此時此刻蒙神的恩惠，而與神親近，更為重要。 每個基督徒應具有基督化身成人的本質，要把事物帶到血肉的實際，要胼手胝足地行出來。我們沒有見異象，沒有得援助，即在平常的小事上也會停駐不前的。為神為人作一勞永逸之計，是在隱秘裡工作，要想保全生命，唯一的方法，是瞻仰神。求神打開你的靈眼，定睛仰望升天的基督，苦役絕不能挫折你。常常拋開心裡的瑣事，要達到約翰福音第十三章的程度！

三月六日 「……不可依靠自己的聰明。」箴言三章5節 我們若依靠人的智慧，無論是自己的或是他人的，那麼信心就會受到阻礙。撒但給夏娃的第一個魚餌，就是提供她智慧；為了得著智慧，夏娃把信心賣了。創世記三章5節說：「……你們喫的日子眼睛就亮了，你們便如神能知道善惡。」從那以後，夏娃開始用她的智慧，不再依靠神。 使以色列民族無法如期進入神所應許之地的，乃是那些探子，因為他們在窺探迦南之後，做了一個很嚇人的報告，所以以色列民族變得沒有信心，更使得那一代所有的以色列人都無法進入迦南地。那些探子的名字幾乎都像徵人類的智慧、偉大和名聲，這是很有意義的。 基督在世的時候，猶太人一方面受到祖宗傳統的捆綁，一方面受到議論的影響，使他們不願接受主耶穌。主曾問猶太人：「你們互相受榮耀，卻不求從獨一之神來的榮耀，怎能信我呢？」(約五44) 讓我們專心仰賴耶和華，不可倚靠自己的聰明。
