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20日）
三月廿日 「似乎憂愁，卻是常常快樂的。」哥林多後書六章10節 主張苦行主義者，連流淚也在禁止之列；基督人卻不然。許多時候，我們憂悶得發昏；當剪毛的剪刀碰在顫抖的肉上時、當仇敵的欺侮達到頂點時、當我們的心幾乎碎裂時，最自然我們巴不得尋找機會痛哭一場，釋出胸中的憂鬱。但是有一個比痛哭更好的方法。 航海者知道甘泉是在苦且鹹的海水中找到的；旅行家知道最美麗的花是生在最荒僻、最崎嶇的山路上的；屬靈人知道最寶貴的詩篇是在最痛苦的時候寫成的。 所以讓我們在黑暗中讚美神我們主耶穌基督的父。試煉越深，願我們的歌聲越高。親愛的，你有沒有學會這個功課呢？我們不只要忍受神的旨意、揀選神的旨意，遵行神的旨意、並且要用讚美來歡迎神的旨意。 ─譯自火中的試驗 當我輾轉於禍患的重負之下， 傷痛的心卻喃喃說， 要安詳； 不必叫喊號哭， 也不用呻吟， 緊閉嘴唇， 不讓淚珠流出眼眶。 這愛使我靈魂無所掩蔽， 苦痛與煎熬， 如煽沸湯， 最後一絲的安慰也化為烏有， 我雖不明究竟， 我仍願安詳。 這愛是神的愛， 因此我要忍耐， 靈魂啊， 我們切莫疑懷， 安詳等待， 是的， 等一會， 祂會照著祂的美意， 把我們從苦難中提拔出來。 我聽從心給我這個應許， 曾在戰抖中竭力保持安靜， 曾向天舉起無淚的眼睛， 我說， 「主啊，照您的旨意去行」。 過不久， 我心又在重負下， 斥責我的嘴唇繃緊， 滿臉愁哀。 它輕聲說， 「我們還要更進一步」， 「不但安定， 還要樂以忘憂！」 如今我和我心都在歡唱， 用不著絃樂伴奏的聲響， 在荒漠中暢飲甘泉， 受了挫折， 仍如振翅翱翔。 ─S.P.W.

March 20 "As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing." (2 Cor. 6:10.) ＴHE stoic scorns to shed a tear; the Christian is not forbidden to weep. The soul may be dumb with excessive grief, as the shearer's scissors pass over the quivering flesh; or, when the heart is on the point of breaking beneath the meeting surges of trial, the sufferer may seek relief by crying out with a loud voice. But there is something even better. They say that springs of sweet fresh water well up amid the brine of salt seas; that the fairest Alpine flowers bloom in the wildest and most rugged mountain passes; that the noblest psalms were the outcome of the profoundest agony of soul. Be it so. And thus amid manifold trials, souls which love God will find reasons for bounding, leaping joy. Though deep call to deep, yet the lord's song will be heard in silver cadence through the night. And it is possible in the darkest hour that ever swept a human life to bless the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you learned this lesson yet? Not simply to endure God's will, nor only to choose it; but to rejoice in it with joy unspeakable and full of glory. ─Tried as by Fire. I will be still, my bruised heart faintly murmured, As o'er me rolled a crushing load of woe; The cry, the call, e'en the low moan was stifled; I pressed my lips; I barred the tear drop's flow. I will be still, although I cannot see it, The love that bares a soul and fans pain's fire; That takes away the last sweet drop of solace, Breaks the lone harp string, hides Thy precious lyre. But God is love, so i will bide me, bide me─ We'll doubt not, Soul, we will be very still; We'll wait till after while, when He shall lift us─ Yes, after while, when it shall be his will. And I did listen to my heart's brave promise; And I did quiver, struggling to be still; And I did lift my tearless eyes to Heaven, Repeating ever, "Yea, Christ, have Thy will." But soon my heart upspake from 'neath our burden, Reproved my tight-drawn lips, my visage sad: "We can do more than this, O Soul," it whispered. "We can be more than still, we can be glad!" And now my heart and I are sweetly singing─ Singing without the sound of tuneful strings; Drinking abundant waters in the desert; Crushed, and yet soaring as on eagle's wings. ─S. P. W.

三月廿日 職事的代禱 「於是禁食禱告，按手在他們頭上，就打發他們去了。」使徒行傳十三章3節 如何增加基督徒的人數，誰願個人或團體地發揮禱告的力量使人轉變、悔改，這是今天海外佈道團最重大的問題。其他的條件與計劃都較如何發揮禱告的力量為次要。 「凡是愛護且經常關心禱告的人才能遵守聖經的吩咐，不住地禱告直到得著答應，我們都承認這是必然的。對這班人來說，他們不僅守晨更且每天定時禱告，更是隨時隨刻作代禱的見證，他們從不放過神，直至神為他們戴上得勝的冠冕。」 職事的根基乃是基督的愛，這愛當初顯在主的十架上，而今天卻住在我們心中。人如此迫切於神對於世界的計劃，照樣神的兒女也必須要全心設法，使基督的愛臨到世人。而代禱則是神所定規將救贖帶給所有人的主要途徑。 要為傳道人禱告，俾使基督的生命透明而堅剛，使他們成為禱告的器皿，且被主的愛充滿，從他們身上顯出屬靈生命的權能。要為當地的基督徒禱告，使他們在外邦中明白（基督）奧秘的榮耀。就是基督在他們心中成了榮耀的盼望。 要為給人施浸的人禱告，也為所有學習事奉主的人禱告，使神話語的教訓帶著能力。特別要為著地上神的僕人們（牧師）及傳福音的人禱告，求聖靈充滿他們，使他們在世人中為基督作美好的見證人。 最重要的，要為著基督的教會禱告，使它脫離冷淡的光景，使每個信徒都能明白今天在地上生活的唯一目標，就是使基督在地上作王。 禱告： 施恩的神啊，我們的眼目注視著您，您豈不在恩典中垂聽我們的禱告，藉著聖靈，在您僕人的服事中顯出基督的大能與同在嗎？阿們。

三月廿日 對於神的友誼 「我所要作的事，豈可瞞著亞伯拉罕呢？」創世記十八章17節 與神為友的快樂：本章指出對於神真友誼的快樂，不是在祈禱中偶爾覺得神同在的快樂。因為與神接觸日多，你就無須請求祂將祂的旨意指示你。在你信仰的生活中，你便達到訓練的最後階段。當你與神發生正當關係時，你的生活就是自由自在和快樂的生活，你就是神的旨意。而且你理性所決定的就是祂的旨意，若不是這樣，祂會糾正了。你對於神以完全快樂的友誼去決定事情。祂一旦知道你的決定有了錯誤，定會糾正的；當祂來糾正的時候，最好是立時停止。 與神為友的困難：當亞伯拉罕禱告的時候，為甚麼停止呢？他尚未十分親密，便勇於前進，直到神滿足他的慾望，在他與神的關係中還有不全備的事情。無論何時，我們中途停止祈禱說：「啊！我不知道，或者不是神的旨意。」還有別的步驟可走。我們沒有耶穌與神那樣親密的關係，也沒有達到祂要我們達到的地步：「叫他們合而為一，像我們一樣。」想想你最後的祈求──是想忠於你的期望呢？還是想忠於神呢？是定意獲取聖靈的某種恩賜，還是定意獲得神呢？「你們沒有祈求以先，你們所需用的，你們的父早已知道了。」祈求的目的是進一步的知道神「要以耶和華為樂，祂就將你心裡所求的賜給你。」不住的禱告，俾能對於神本身得到完全的瞭解。

三月二十日 「……那些受洪恩又蒙所賜之義的，豈不更要因耶穌基督一人在生命中作王麼。」羅馬書五章17節 神的子民有時在難堪的環境下，拼老命地想得著公義。他們或許覺得有罪，因為他們讓試探勝過他們，或是使他們不再對神專一。當他們想法子調整情形、與神和好時，其衝突結果非常可怕。他們發現自己為靈界的——仇敵所困惑，完全無助、不知所措。 那掙扎既黑暗又淒涼，使我們似乎變得不能自力、更沒有果效。 我們很肯定在律法中的掙扎奮鬥，只能使我們被定罪，叫我們不斷失敗。若是我們不順服，神的忿怒會臨到我們，我們也會失去勇氣，甚至接近沮喪的地步。 如果受試探，一直在掙扎的聖徒能瞭解，或是記住他以前所學習到的功課，並且以基督為我們的公義，那麼能不靠律法，及單靠恩典勝過試探。正如羅馬書六章14節所說：「罪必不能作你們的主，因你們不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。」這才是我們爭戰的秘訣。
