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（02月18日）
二月十八日 「凡你們禱告祈求的，無論是甚麼，只要信是得著的，就必得著。」馬可福音十一章24節 我有一個十歲的孩子，他的祖母應許給他一本郵票簿。可是過了許久，她並沒有給他，也不再提起。這孩子也並不放在心上；可是，當他的同伴來看他的禮物時，他一件一件把收到的禮物拿出來給他們看了之後，總加上一句：「祖母給我一本郵票簿。」 我聽他說了好幾次，很是希奇，所以我特地叫他到我面前來，問他說：「喬琪，你並沒有從你祖母那裏得到一本郵票簿。你為甚麼常對你的同伴這樣說呢？」 他臉上起了詫異之色，似乎希奇我會發這樣一個問題，他回答說：「媽媽，祖母既應許了，這就等於我已經得著了。」我就不能再說甚麼，免得傷他的信心。 一個月過去了，郵票簿仍是無著落。一天，我要試試他的信心，就對他說: 「喬琪，我想祖母已經忘記了她的應許。」 他很快，很堅持地說：「不，媽媽，她決不會忘記的。」 我望著那親愛的、深信的小臉，看見他現著很正經的樣子，好似要辯服我方纔所說的話一般。過了一回，他臉上現出了喜悅的光彩，說道： 「媽媽你想我好不好現在寫一封信去謝謝她的禮物呢？」 我說：「我不替你規定；可是，你可以試一試。」 （這時候神用光照亮我，給我看見了一段豐富屬靈的真理。）幾分鐘之內，他已把謝信寫好寄出了，回來的時候，嘴裏還唱著歡樂的歌兒，證明他對他祖母的信任。不久，回信來了，裏面寫著： 「我所親愛的喬琪：我並沒有忘記我對你的應許——一本郵票簿。我想照你合意的樣式去買，可是在本城買不到；所以我就到紐約城去函購。寄到了以後，一看，仍舊不對，所以我又到芝加哥去函購了。你所愛的祖母」 他讀完了信，臉上帶著勝利的氣概，對我說：「媽媽，我不是告訴過你麼？祖母既應許了，這就等於我已經得著了。」他的心裏，從來沒有疑惑過，這就是「在無可指望的時候，因信仍有指望。」（羅四18）他深信郵票簿一定會來的。他信他的祖母進行，不久信心就變成了事實。 人們常要在神的應許上先有眼見，但是我們的主對多馬說，也對那些跟從祂而懷疑的人說：「那沒有看見就信的，有福了。」（約廿29） ─朗滋夫人

February 18 "Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be." (Mark 11:24.) ＷHEN my little son was about ten years of age, his grandmother promised him a stamp album for Christmas. Christmas came, but no stamp album, and no word from grandmother. The matter, however, was not mentioned; but when his playmates came to see his Christmas presents, I was astonished, after he had named over this and that as gifts received, to hear him add, "And a stamp album from grandmother." I had heard it several times, when I called him to me, and said, "But, Georgie, you did not get an album from your grandmother. Why do you say so?" There was a wondering look on his face, as if he thought it strange that I should ask such a question, and he replied, "Well, mamma, grandma said, so it is the same as." I could not say a word to check his faith. A month went by, and nothing was heard from the album. Finally, one day, I said, to test his faith, and really wondering in my heart why the album had not been sent, "Well, Georgie, I think grandma has forgotten her promise.""Oh, no, mamma," he quickly and firmly said," she hasn't." I watched the dear, trusting face, which, for a while, looked very sober, as if debating the possiblities I had suggested. Finally a bright light passed over it, and he said, "Mamma, do you think it would do any good if I should write to her thanking her for the album?" "I do not know," I said, "but you might try it." A rich spiritual truth began to dawn upon me. In a few minutes a letter was prepared and committed to the mail, and he went off whistling his confidence in his grandma. In just a short time a letter came, saying: "My dear Georgie: I have not forgotten my promise to you, of an album. I tried to get such a book as you desired, but could not get the sort you wanted; so I sent on to New York. It did not get here till after Christmas, and it was still not right, so I sent for another, and as it has not come as yet, I send you three dollars to get one in Chicago. Your loving grandma." "As he read the letter, his face was the face of a victor. "Now, mamma, didn't I tell you?" came from the depths of a heart that never doubted, that, "against hope, believed in hope" that the stamp album would come. While he was trusting, grandma was working, and in due season faith became sight. It is so human to want sight when we step out on the promises of God, but our Savior said to Thomas, and to the long roll of doubters who have ever since followed him: "Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed." ─Mrs. Rounds.

二月十八日 神的全能 「我是全能的神。」創世記十七章1節 亞伯拉罕聽見這話以後，就俯伏在地；神對他說話，使他充滿信心，信神必為他作事。基督徒啊，你有沒有深深謙卑地俯伏在神面前，直到你覺得你已經和那位全能者面對相見，並且滿心相信，神已經在你裡面作工，並要成全這工呢？ 詩篇裡有多處記載，從前有許多信徒如何在神和祂的能力裡榮耀神。「耶和華，我的力量啊，我愛您！」（詩十八1）「耶和華是我性命的保障。」（詩廿七1）「神是我心裡的力量。」（詩七十三26）「使我心裡有能力。」（詩一三八3）再看詩篇十八篇32節，九十六篇1節，六十八篇28節，六十八篇35節，五十九篇17節，八十九篇17節。將這些話引用到自己身上，並且敬拜全能者是你的力量。 基督教訓我們，救恩是神的工作，人是絕對不能作的。門徒們問：「這樣，誰能得救呢？」主的回答是：「在人這是不能的，在神凡事都能。」如果我們堅信這個，我們就能相信，神是按祂所看為好的，作工在我們裡面。 讓我們想一想保羅為以弗所人怎樣禱告，他求神藉著聖靈的光照，使他們認識，「祂向我們這信的人所顯的能力，是何等浩大。」同時，保羅在歌羅西書一章11節又說：「照祂榮耀的權能，得以在各樣的力上加力。」當人完全相信神的大能，是不止息地在他裡面作工的時候，他就能歡樂著說：「神是我生命的力量。」 你希奇有許多的基督徒，常常說到他們的軟弱和失敗。這是因為他們不認識全能的神，必須逐日逐時在他們裡面作工。這一個就是真實信心生活的秘訣。 不要停止追求，直到你能對神說：「你是他們力量的榮耀。」（詩八十九17）

二月十八日 避免失望 「起來，我們走吧！」馬太福音廿六章46節 門徒們於當驚醒的時候，反而睡起覺來；當他們覺悟他們所行之錯誤，就失望起來。不可挽救的感覺易於使我們失望，我們心裡似乎說：「現在，一切都完了，再用力，也沒有用了。」如果我們以這種失望視為非常，那就錯了，殊不知這是人類極平常的經驗。無論何時，我們認知我們沒有成功那機會足以促我們成功的事，我們就容易墮入失望之中，可是耶穌就來向我們說：「現在還睡覺，這個機會失了，不能再來，你也不能改造，可是要起來，去對付將要來到的那件事吧！」讓過去的睡眠，睡在基督的胸懷，而你要與基督攜起手來走進那不可避免的將來。 我們定有這種經驗在我們各人的生活中。我們失望，失望是從現實而來，我們也不能把自己從失望中超拔出來。就是耶穌的門徒也陷到這種困境之中，他們去睡覺，不同耶穌儆醒，卻是耶穌來，激起他們靈性的自動，打消他們意志的消沉說：「起來，對付將要來到的事吧！」如果我們為神所激動，那將要來到的事是甚麼呢？就是絕對倚靠祂，藉著祂的救贖去祈求。 千萬不要讓失敗的意識毀壞你的新動作。

二月十八日 「……基督在你們心裡……」歌羅西書一章27節 新約與舊約中的救贖相差是何等的大啊！只要能得著基督的生命，任何人即使掙扎一生也是值得。 某位有失明之虞的病人躺在醫院裡，他的眼睛有一小段破碎的針。一次接著一次的手術，不僅更刺激他的眼睛，甚至使那段針進入眼睛更脆弱的部份。 最後，一位年輕但技術高明的醫生想到一個權宜之計。有一天，他既不帶披針也沒帶探針，手裡只拿了一個雖小，但磁度大的磁鐵走近病人，他把磁鐵放在受傷的眼睛上移動，立刻那段針就開始受強大的磁力吸引而移動。很快地，針被磁鐵吸住，使病人不需要再受更多切割之苦，就得到完全的醫治。 這個方法雖然極為簡單，卻是奇妙無比。藉著磁鐵的磁力，這隻眼睛不但完全脫離險境，而且能重見光明。相同的，神也能藉著基督生命及其能力的簡單吸引力，使我們得到救贖。
