1:1 神的兒子，耶穌基督福音的起頭。 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (\f1 1:1 Some manuscripts do not have|i the Son of God|d.)
1:2 正如先知以賽亞〔有古卷沒有以賽亞三個字〕書上記著說：看哪，我要差遣我的使者在你前面，預備道路。 It is written in Isaiah the prophet:<<I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way>> \f2 1:2 Mal. 3:1)-- 1:3 在曠野有人聲喊著說：預備主的道，修直他的路。 <<a voice of one calling in the desert, <Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.> >> \f3 1:3 Isaiah 40:3) 1:4 照這話，約翰來了，在曠野施洗，傳悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦。 And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 1:5 猶太全地和耶路撒冷的人都出去到約翰那裏，承認他們的罪，在約旦河裏受他的洗。 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 1:6 約翰穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲、野蜜。 John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 1:7 他傳道說：「有一位在我以後來的，能力比我更大，我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶也是不配的。 And this was his message: <<After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 1:8 我是用水給你們施洗，他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。」 I baptize you with (\f4 1:8 Or|i in|d)water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.>> 1:9 那時，耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來，在約旦河裏受了約翰的洗。 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 1:10 他從水裏一上來，就看見天裂開了，聖靈彷彿鴿子，降在他身上。 As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 1:11 又有聲音從天上來，說：「你是我的愛子，我喜悅你。」 And a voice came from heaven: <<You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.>> 1:12 聖靈就把耶穌催到曠野裏去。 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 1:13 他在曠野四十天，受撒但的試探，並與野獸同在一處，且有天使來伺候他。 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. 1:14 約翰下監以後，耶穌來到加利利，宣傳 神的福音， After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 1:15 說：「日期滿了， 神的國近了。你們當悔改，信福音！」 <<The time has come,>> he said. <<The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!>> 1:16 耶穌順著加利利的海邊走，看見西門和西門的兄弟安得烈在海邊撒網；他們本是打魚的。 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 1:17 耶穌對他們說：「來跟從我，我要叫你們得人如得魚一樣。」 <<Come, follow me,>> Jesus said, <<and I will make you fishers of men.>> 1:18 他們就立刻捨了網，跟從了他。 At once they left their nets and followed him. 1:19 耶穌稍往前走，又見西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的兄弟約翰在船上補網。 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 1:20 耶穌隨即招呼他們，他們就把父親西庇太和雇工人留在船上，跟從耶穌去了。 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him. 1:21 到了迦百農，耶穌就在安息日進了會堂教訓人。 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 1:22 眾人很希奇他的教訓；因為他教訓他們，正像有權柄的人，不像文士。 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 1:23 在會堂裏，有一個人被污鬼附著。他喊叫說： Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil (\f5 1:23 Greek|i unclean|d; also in verses 26 and 27)spirit cried out, 1:24 「拿撒勒人耶穌，我們與你有甚麼相干？你來滅我們嗎？我知道你是誰，乃是 神的聖者。」 <<What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--the Holy One of God!>> 1:25 耶穌責備他說：「不要作聲！從這人身上出來吧。」 <<Be quiet!>> said Jesus sternly. <<Come out of him!>> 1:26 污鬼叫那人抽了一陣瘋，大聲喊叫，就出來了。 The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. 1:27 眾人都驚訝，以致彼此對問說：「這是甚麼事？是個新道理啊！他用權柄吩咐污鬼，連污鬼也聽從了他。」 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, <<What is this? A new teaching--and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him.>> 1:28 耶穌的名聲就傳遍了加利利的四方。 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee. 1:29 他們一出會堂，就同著雅各、約翰，進了西門和安得烈的家。 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 1:30 西門的岳母正害熱病躺著，就有人告訴耶穌。 Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her. 1:31 耶穌進前拉著她的手，扶她起來，熱就退了，她就服事他們。 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. 1:32 天晚日落的時候，有人帶著一切害病的，和被鬼附的，來到耶穌跟前。 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 1:33 合城的人都聚集在門前。 The whole town gathered at the door, 1:34 耶穌治好了許多害各樣病的人，又趕出許多鬼，不許鬼說話，因為鬼認識他。 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. 1:35 次日早晨，天未亮的時候，耶穌起來，到曠野地方去，在那裏禱告。 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. 1:36 西門和同伴追了他去， Simon and his companions went to look for him, 1:37 遇見了就對他說：「眾人都找你。」 and when they found him, they exclaimed: <<Everyone is looking for you!>> 1:38 耶穌對他們說：「我們可以往別處去，到鄰近的鄉村，我也好在那裏傳道，因為我是為這事出來的。」 Jesus replied, <<Let us go somewhere else--to the nearby villages--so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.>> 1:39 於是在加利利全地，進了會堂，傳道，趕鬼。 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. 1:40 有一個長大痲瘋的來求耶穌，向他跪下，說：「你若肯，必能叫我潔淨了。」 A man with leprosy (\f6 1:40 The Greek word was used for various diseases affecting the skin--not necessarily leprosy.)came to him and begged him on his knees, <<If you are willing, you can make me clean.>> 1:41 耶穌動了慈心，就伸手摸他，說：「我肯，你潔淨了吧！」 Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. <<I am willing,>> he said. <<Be clean!>> 1:42 大痲瘋即時離開他，他就潔淨了。 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured. 1:43 耶穌嚴嚴的囑咐他，就打發他走， Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 1:44 對他說：「你要謹慎，甚麼話都不可告訴人，只要去把身體給祭司察看，又因為你潔淨了，獻上摩西所吩咐的禮物，對眾人作證據。」 <<See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.>> 1:45 那人出去，倒說了許多的話，把這件事傳揚開了，叫耶穌以後不得再明明的進城，只好在外邊曠野地方。人從各處都就了他來。 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.

十二月五日 「耶和華阿，我曉得人的道路不由自己。行路的人，也不能定自己的腳步。」耶利米書十章23節 「求您……引導我走平坦的路。」詩篇廿七篇11節 許多人非但不聽從神的指導，反要指導神；非但不跟神走，反要神跟他走。─蓋恩夫人 我說： 「讓我走向野外．」 神說： 「不，你要領略城市的壯觀，」 我說： 「那裏沒有花」． 祂說： 「沒有花， 卻有一頂王冠。」 我說： 「可是天烏黑， 只有喧嘩與污濁，」 而祂含淚看著我， 說道： 「還有罪惡。」 我說： 「可是天氣陰霾， 濃霧遮掩了陽光；」 祂答道： 「正因為人們有病， 黑暗中盼望醫療之方。」 我說： 「我將失去光明， 朋友也將失去我這個伴侶；」 祂回答說： 「今夜就選擇， 失去他們， 還是與我共處。」 我懇求祂給我考慮的時間， 祂說： 「這有什麼難以決定？ 在天堂的觀點看來， 只要跟隨你嚮導者的足印。」 我回頭向野外看了一眼， 然後轉臉對著城市， 祂說： 「你願意了嗎？ 為王冠而放棄花兒」！ 然後我讓祂握住我的手， 祂進入我的心靈， 在神聖的光照下， 走向了先前所害怕的路徑。 ─麥克唐納

December 5 "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." (Jer. 10:23) "Lead me in a plain path." (Psalm 27:11) ＭANY people want to direct God, instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him; to show Him a way, instead of passively following where He leads. －Madame Guyon. I said: "Let me walk in the field"; God said: "Nay, walk in the town"; I said: "There are no flowers there"; He said: "No flowers, but a crown." I said: "But the sky is black, There is nothing but noise and din"; But He wept as he sent me back, "There is more," He said, "there is sin." I said: "But the air is thick, And fogs are veiling the sun"; He answered: "Yet souls are sick, And souls in the dark undone." I said: "I shall miss the light, And friends will miss me, they say"; He answered me, "Choose tonight, If I am to miss you, or they." I pleaded for time to be given; He said: "Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in Heaven To have followed the steps of your Guide." I cast one look at the fields, Then set my face to the town; He said: "My child, do you yield? will you leave the flowers for the crown?" Then into His hand went mine, And into my heart came He; And I walk in a light Divine, The path I had feared to see. －George MacDonald.

十二月五日 聖靈的愛 「所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裡。」羅馬書五章5節 有很多基督徒，必須承認他的一生知道太少，如何像小孩般熱切的愛！也不能遵守基督第二個偉大誡命，去愛人如己；因為不願由愛的源頭支取能力，所以就無法熱愛主耶穌和弟兄。 為何會在這方面失敗呢？難道天父沒有為世上的兒女預備，使他們能愛祂又愛人嗎？祂確實有！神的兒女必須經常有更新的信心，神才能如此做，人試著衷心的愛神，他盡了全力，花費所有的時間，仍無法稍微的去愛神！哦！基督徒！相信神的愛一如生命的能力運行在你心中，你就能愛祂和弟兄了。不要再期望靠自己所產生極小的愛，相信神愛的大能，安靜地在你裏面教導你如何將祂的愛去對待神和弟兄。 從今天的經文來學習這個功課：「所賜給我們的聖靈將神的愛澆灌在我們心裏。」聖靈會使你愛神和弟兄甚至仇敵，深信兩件事！第一，靠自己的力量無法愛神和弟兄。第二、聖靈每一天、每一時在你裏面，將祂的愛充滿你的心；每天早上，你為一天交給聖靈保守而禱告說：「求您將基督的愛澆灌在我心中，使我能愛周圍的人。」

十二月五日 聖靈的殿 「惟獨在寶座上，我比你大。」創世記四一章40節 在神的支配之下，我用我的身體，是要對於神負責的。──保羅說，他不「廢掉神的恩典，」──使神的恩典不發生效力。神的恩典是絕對的，耶穌的救贖是完成了，是永遠完成的。我現在不是在得救的過程中，是曾經被救了。耶穌的救贖與神的寶座一樣永垂不朽；我所要做的是將神在裡面所作的做出來。「作成你們得救的工夫，」我必得負責任去做。那便是說，我須在這身體上表現主耶穌的生命，不是神祕的，卻是真實不虛的。「我是攻克己身，叫身服我。」每個聖徒能叫他的身體受神完全的節制。神造我們，已安置了一個聖靈統制的殿，想像和情感的機關。我們對於這些，是要負責的，我們必不可對於無節制的情感讓步。我們多數的人，嚴於對人，輕於對己；我們設法原諒自己，但對於我們所不傾向的事，人如果犯了，我們是要申斥的。 保羅說──「我勸你們，將身體獻上當作活祭。」──應當決定的一點是這──以我的身體作為我的主的殿，我同意麼？如果同意那麼我肉體的律的全部，綜合在這個啟示裡──我的身體是聖靈的殿。

十二月五日 「……他們都誠心立大衛作以色列的王。」歷代志上十二章38節 我們生命最高的目標何在呢？正如以色列人誠心要立大衛作王，我們的目的也是在於預備神的新婦，預備世人的心，預備耶和華的道路。 這大目標是否使我們其他的雄心、掛慮顯得渺小且不重要呢？是否能使我們擺上一切才幹、能力，內心得著滿足呢？是否能令我們將每時刻、所有的精力，以及一切的資源都用上呢？這目標是否令我們的工作和計劃有了一個明確方向和風格呢？是否影響了我們對孩子教育的選擇、金錢的投資、朋友的結交，及所有活動、興趣及對生命的展望呢？我們的靈魂體是否都為這目標而活？是否在凡事上、每一個思想中，我們都誠心立耶穌為王呢？ 我們心連心、手牽手地前進， 高舉神皇族般的旗幟， 走遍萬國萬邦， 在每一族每一國， 都預備著迎接神的新婦。 帶著無比的喜樂， 我們立耶穌為我們的王。
