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.

三月十日 「義人必因信而活。」希伯來書十章38節（直譯） 眼見和感覺常會代替信心。高興的情感和滿足的經歷僅是基督人生活中的一部份，並不是全部份。前途中埋伏著的試煉、逼迫、戰爭，絕非不幸，乃是我們必受的訓練。 在這一切患難的經歷中，我們須認定主活在我們裏面，不管我們的感覺怎樣。許多人因為感覺而跌倒；他們依靠感覺，不依靠信心。 有一個姊妹告訴我們；她有一次覺得神離開了她。祂的恩典、憐憫，似乎完全跑開了。她在這種情形之下有六星期之久，有一天神對她說： 「凱塞林，你一直在外面的感覺上尋找我，所以找不著；這六星期中我卻在裏面等著你；你應當到你靈中內室裏來找我，因為我在那裏。」 我們應該分辨情感和事實，這是何等快樂的一回事：當魂感覺孤單淒涼的時候，我們的信心仍能說：「我看不見您，我感覺不到您，但是您始終在這裏，所以我一直是這樣的我。哦，主，您一直在這裏；荊棘雖然沒有燒燬，但是的確被火燒著。我要把我腳上的鞋脫下來，因為我所站的是聖地。」 ─基督徒報 我們應該信神的話語和能力過於信我們自己的感覺和經歷。我們的磐石是基督，漲落的不是磐石，乃是我們魂中的海潮。 ─羅斯福特 我們的眼睛應該凝視基督所已經完成的工作。我們應當仰望耶穌，張起我們的帆來，勇勇敢敢地與浪相搏。不要留戀在不信的港口裡，不要躺臥在黑暗的死寂裏，不要任你的感覺上下顛簸，像碇泊在港口的船隻一般。屬靈的生活不是蹲伏在情感上的，也不是留戀在淺水裏的。撐開去！撐到狂風大浪中去。信靠主！祂是管理海洋的主。飛鳥越飛得高，越是安全。如果牠飛得低─靠近地面─牠也許會陷入捕鳥者所設的網羅裏去。照樣，如果我們一直匍匐在低地上─倚靠感覺、情感─我們就要看見我們自己將要被千萬種網羅——懷疑、失望、誘惑、不信……—─所纏累。這就是「好像飛鳥，網羅設在眼前仍不躲避。」（箴一17） ─馬克特夫

March 10 "The just shall live by faith." (Heb. 10:38.) ＳEEMINGS and feelings are often substituted for faith. Pleasurable emotions and deep satisfying experiences are part of the Christian life, but they are not all of it. Trials, conflicts, battles and testings lie along the way, and are not to be counted as misfortunes, but rather as part of our necessary discipline. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. In all these varying experiences we are to reckon on Christ as dwelling in the heart, regardless of our feelings if we are walking obediently before Him. Here is where many get into trouble; they try to walk by feeling rather than faith. One of the saints tells us that it seemed as tough God had withdrawn Himself from her. His mercy seemed clean gone. For six weeks her desolation lasted, and then the Heavenly Lover seemed to say: "Catherine, thou hast looked for Me without in the world of sense, but all the while I have been within waiting for thee; meet Me in the inner chamber of thy spirit, for I am there." Distinguish between the fact of God's presence, and the emotion of the fact. It is a happy thing when the soul seems desolate and deserted, if our faith can say,"I see thee not. I feel thee not, but Thou art certainly and graciously here, where I am as I am." Say it again and again: "Thou art here: though the bush does not seem to brun with fire., it does burn. I will take the shoes from off my feet, for the place on which I stand is holy ground." ─London Christian. Believe God's word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your Rock is Christ, and it is not the Rock which ebbs and flows, but your sea. ─Samuel Rutherford. Keep your eye steadily fixed on the infinite grandeur of Christ's finished work and righteousness. Look to Jesus and believe, look to Jesus and live! Nay, more; as you look to him, hoist your sails and buffet manfully the sea of life. Do not remain in the haven of distrust, or sleeping on your shadows in inactive repose, or suffering your frames and feelings to pitch and toss on one another like vessels idly moored in a harbor. The religious life is not a brooding over emotions, grazing the keel of faith in the shallows, or dragging the anchor of hope through the oozy tide mud as if afraid of encountering the healthy breeze. Away! With your canvas spread to the gale, trusting in Him, who rules the raging of the waters. The safety of the tinted bird is to be on the wing. If its haunt be near the ground─if it fly low─it exposes itself to the fowler's net or snare. If we remain grovelling on the low ground of feeling and emotion, we shall find ourselves entangled in a thousand meshes of doubt and despondency, temptation and unbelief. "But Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight sight of THAT WHICH HATH A WING" (marginal reading Prov. 1:17). Hope thou in Gods ─J. R. Macduff.

三月十日 禱告是聖靈的工作 「神差祂兒子的靈進入你們的心，呼叫：『阿爸父！』」加拉太書四章6節 我們知道「阿爸父」在客西馬尼由主耶穌口中喊出的意義何在。這表示祂的完全順服以至於死，也說出神的愛要使罪人得贖的旨意得以成就。在主的禱告中，祂已準備好作任何的犧牲，甚至將生命獻上。在那次禱告中，我們看見祂的心；祂的地位是在神寶座的右邊，祂在神面前代禱有何等奇妙的大能，並將聖靈傾倒的權能。 唯有將祂兒子的靈吸入我們心裡，就是父所賜的聖靈。我們的主盼望我們能像祂一樣將自己完全交給神；像祂一樣的禱告，願意出任何代價，使神的旨意能通行在地上。神的愛如何在祂拯救靈魂的願望中顯明出來，照樣主耶穌也藉著為罪人捨己而顯明瞭祂的願望。今天祂同樣地求神將此愛也充滿祂的子民，使他們能全然將自己奉獻於代禱的事工，並肯出任何代價，藉著代禱使神的愛臨到將要滅亡的人身上。 唯恐有人以為代禱的職事太高而力不能及，所以主耶穌的聖靈已經進入我們的心，我們可能在祂的權能中奉祂的名像祂一樣禱告。此乃是一個肯將自己完全降服於聖靈引領的人，才會受這神聖的愛催促而專一過著一直代禱的生活，因為他知道那是神自己工作在他裡面。 現在我們可以明白基督如何能將無限的應許給了祂的門徒，使他們的禱告得著答應。他們首先必須先被聖靈充滿。如今我們才明白神所以如此重視代禱，乃是要藉此使祂的救贖計劃得以實現，唯有聖靈能將神自己的願望吹到我們裡面，使我們能為人代禱。 禱告： 阿爸父啊！答應我們藉著聖靈，將那為著愛靈魂而不停代禱的靈，放在我們裡面。基督已經為他們死了。求您讓您的兒女看見您向那些肯答應您崇高的呼召而獻上自己的人所賜的福及能力是何等大。阿們。

三月十日 有道可傳，就當與道打成一片 「務要傳道。」提摩太后書四章2節 我們得救，不但是成為溝通的工具，卻要成為神的兒女。我們不僅變為靈性的媒介，卻要變為靈性的使者；使道成為我們自己的部份。神的兒子是祂自己的道。祂的言語是靈和生命。我們既為祂的門徒，我們的生命必是我們使命的犧牲物。自然的心也會做些服務的事，但是在生命變成道的犧牲物以前，非因認罪而痛心，非因聖靈而受洗，非體會神的旨意是不會成功的。 作見證和傳道之間，是有種區分的。一個傳道人，是確覺神的呼召，決意運用他的各種能力來宣傳神之真理的。神將我們從自己的觀念中救出來，把我們鑄成形體，以適其用；如五旬節以後的門徒一樣。五旬節並沒有教訓門徒甚麼事，只是使他們躬身實踐所宣傳的道而已，「你們就是這些事的見證。」（路廿四48） 於你說話之間，給神絕對的自由吧！在神的道解放別人以前，你自己必要得著真的解放。收集你的材料，在你說話之時，把它燃燒吧！
■ 中文上海嗎哪（03月10日）
三月十日 「神所賜出人意外的平安，必在基督耶穌裡，保守你們的心懷意念。」腓立比書四章7節 保守我們心懷意念的乃是神所賜的平安，這種能幫助我們瞭解一切情況的平安，正是神在我們生命中的氣息。只有祂能保守我們，也只有祂能使我們不受任何傷害。這是不是你的經驗？ 神在歇工之後才休息，我們也該如此。當我們剛開始與基督同行時，難免會在肉體中事奉、嘗試、掙扎，想要自己救自己。但是惟有在我們停止肉體中的事奉的同時，神才能以平安祝福我們，並且按著祂的旨意成就祂給我們的目標。 朋友，你可曾聽過 希望、聖潔、喜悅，這樣稱頌的字眼？ 愛的樂章從天而降， 一直環繞在我耳中。 聖潔的保惠師已經來到， 主基督就快再來。 憂傷的人，幫助者就在你左右， 保惠師就在你眼前， 祂來帶我們到我們的王那裡去， 使我們配得見祂， 我欣喜保惠師已經來到，主耶穌就快再來。
