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13日）
三月十三日 「眾聖之王阿，您的方法義哉、誠哉。」啟示錄十五章3節 在患難中經歷頂深的司布真師母說：有一天陰沈的晚上，我獨自坐在椅子上休息；雖然室中很光亮，但是我心靈中有一層黑暗罩著，使我不能看見甚麼。我也不覺得主的手纔住我，我好似滑跌在傷痛中。我憂憂愁愁地自問說： 「為甚麼我的神如此待祂的孩子呢？為甚麼祂一直把銳利的痛苦加給我呢？為甚麼祂應許纏綿的軟弱來攔阻我去事奉祂呢？」 這些煩惱的問題立即得到了答覆；頂希奇，答覆我的是一個特異的聲音；用不著翻譯的人，神在我心中輕輕地替我解釋。 室內寂靜了好久，我忽然聽見一聲清幽悅耳的樂音，很像窗下知更雀的歌聲。 這是甚麼聲音？絕不會是知更雀在那裏唱歌，因為這是寒冷的晚上。 又是一聲。這次我纔發現：原來壁爐中一根橡樹枝，正被猛烈的火焰焚燒著，從裂口中發出那個好聽的音樂來！ 此時，我發生了一些感想：當這些樹枝嫩綠青翠的時候，許多歌鳥遊歇其上，唱出美麗的調兒來，牠就把那些歌聲收集起來，含蓄在裏面。後來牠漸漸老了，樹枝漸漸硬了；那聲音便永久被封住在裏面了，直到猛烈的火焰燒燬了牠的堅硬，久囚的音樂纔被釋放。啊，照樣，神用痛苦的火焰燃燒我們，原是要從我們久寂的心中抽出讚美的歌聲來，叫我們的神得著榮耀！就在此時，我得了安慰。 恐怕我們中間有幾個很像這根橡樹枝—─老、冷、硬、麻木；我們不會發出讚美的聲音來，如果沒有火的催逼。 「在火煉中歌唱，是的，神幫助我們。」如果苦難的火焰會叫無情的冷心得到溫暖，願爐中的火焰較前加旺「七倍！」 ─選

March 13 "Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."(Rev. 15:3.) ＴHE following incident is related by Mrs. Charles Spurgeon, who was a great sufferer for more than a quarter of a century: "At the close of a dark and gloomy day, I lay resting on my couch as the deeper night drew on; and though all was bright within my cozy room, some of the external darkness seemed to have entered into my soul and obscured its spiritual vision. Vainly I tried to see the Hand which I knew held mine, and guided my fogenveloped feet along a steep and slippery path of suffering. In sorrow of heart I asked, "`Why does my Lord thus deal with His child? Why does He so often send sharp and bitter pain to visit me? Why does He permit lingering weakness to hinder the sweet service I long to render to His poor servants?' "These fretful questions were quickly answered, and through a strange language; no interpreter was needed save the conscious whisper of my heart. "For a while silence reigned in the little room, broken only by the crackling of the oak log burning in the fireplace. Suddenly I heard a sweet, soft sound, a little, clear, musical note, like the tender trill of a robin beneath my window. "`What can it be? surely no bird can be singing out there at this time of the year and night.' "Again came the faint, plaintive notes, so sweet, so melodious, yet mysterious enough to provoke our wonder. My friend exclaimed, "Perchance he had garnered up this song in the days when all was well with him, when birds twittered merrily on his branches, and the soft sunlight flecked his tender leaves with gold. But he had grown old since then, and hardened; ring after ring of knotty growth had sealed up the long-forgotten melody, until the fierce tongues of the flames came to consume his callousness, and the vehement heart of the fire wrung from him at once a song and a sacrifice. `Ah,' thought I, `when the fire of affliction draws songs of praise from us, then indeed we are purified, and our God is glorified!' "Perhaps some of us are like this old oak log, cold, hard, insensible; we should give forth no melodious sounds, were it not for the fire which kindles around us, and releases notes of trust in Him, and cheerful compliance with his will. "Singing in the fire! Yes, God helping us, if that is the only way to get harmony out of these hard apathetic hearts, let the furnace be heated seven times hotter than before."

三月十三日 代禱生活的祝福 「呼籲耶和華的，你們不要歇息，也不要使祂歇息，直等祂建立耶路撒冷，使耶路撒冷在地上成為可讚美的。」以賽亞書六十二章6—7節 我們能有權為著別人的需要代禱，是一種非人口所能述說的祝福。何等的福氣，我們能與基督緊緊聯合，在代禱上與祂同工，並與祂的禱告結合為一。何等榮耀能與神同在天上，超過萬人之上，並為他們代求，使他們所得到的遠超過所知所想的。 何等的特權像我們！身為神恩典的管家竟能將教會或個人的光景、神話語的執事，或神在外邦人中使者的光景，帶到神的面前為他們呼籲，直到神答應了我們。 何等的福氣使我們得以與神所有兒女聯合，在禱告中同心協力，直至勝過地上一切的艱難，並那空中掌權者的黑暗權勢。若能認識神要使用我這個人成為一個代禱者，且在地上承受並分賜祂屬天的祝福並祂聖靈的大能，那我的生活定規是非常有價值的。 這實在是屬天生命的實際顯出，也就是主耶穌祂自己的生命，在祂捨己的愛裡將我們得著，並因著祂愛的催促，使我們甘心獻出自己，在祂面前肩負著人的需要，而呼籲神使他們得以存活。 我們一直以為禱告不過是求神供應生活及服事上的需要。求神幫助我們看見代禱的地位在神的旨意及祂國度的工作上是何其重要。但願我們的心真地感覺到，地上根本沒有一種祝福能與我們由神所得的，非口能述的特權相比，此權柄使我們能等候神從天上賜福，更開出一條路使祂所樂意賜的福能在地上。 禱告： 父啊，求您將您的生命傾下，充滿在您兒女的心中，正如主耶穌在祂不止息的代禱中傾下祂的愛一般；讓我們在地上也能活出一個傾倒愛及永不止息的代禱生活。阿們。

三月十三日 神的捨棄 「神愛世人，甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們。」約翰福音三章16節 救贖不僅是脫離罪孽，也不僅是個人成聖的經驗；救贖是要人不為自己打算而為神打算。我的救贖經驗，只有走向脫離罪惡和個人成聖的路線；但是救贖的意義，是神的靈使我與神的本性接觸，令我驚奇我以外的無限偉大；完全與神合而為一。 如果說我們蒙召是宣傳聖潔或成聖，那便走入了歧途。我們蒙召是宣傳耶穌基督。祂救我們脫離罪，使我們成聖，是神捨棄的效果的一部份。 撇棄從不會使我們感覺吃力，因為整個生命已與我們所歸向的一位打成了一片。當心談論撇棄，如果你不知的話，非到你明白了約翰三書16節所說神絕對捨棄自己，你是不會知道的。我們不為神憂慮，撇棄是要像神不憂慮的把自己交給我們一樣。因為我們的生命與祂打成一片，就不會想到撇棄的效果了。

三月十三日 「保守自己常在神的愛中……」猶大書21節 不久以前，我得空享受了一次美麗的夕陽景象，我看到西邊的天彷彿像一大群金色的海島，那遙遠成群的海島又宛如從群山中上升的光輪。當我從西往東看過去，天空的色彩燦爛無比，似乎整個大地都染上了它的顏色。不僅整個大地五光十色，田野更是變得出奇的鮮紅，全地似乎披上了屬天的露水。 就像當神的愛照耀整個天空時，祂的愛能摭蓋地上的一切，一切的生命都發出光彩。困難的事變得容易，辛酸的事變得甜美。負擔不再是重擔，悲哀也會轉為希望和喜樂。 要生活在神的愛中只有兩個秘訣：一是繼續的信靠神，二是全然順服。而神的話語充滿了這兩個信息。「你們若遵守我的命令，就常在我的愛裡，正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在祂的愛裡。」(約十五10)
