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.

三月十五日 「你這蟲雅各……不要害怕……我要使你成為有快齒打糧的新器具。」以賽亞書四一章14、15節（直譯） 蟲與快齒的器具怎樣可以相比呢？蟲是多麼軟弱，給我們石頭或車輪一壓，就會壓得稀爛；快齒的器具是多麼堅強；甚至能「把山嶺打得粉碎，使岡陵如同糠秕。」（賽四一15）但是全能的神能使蟲成為有快齒的器具。神能使個人或民族，藉著祂的靈，從蟲的軟弱到快齒器具的剛強，在歷史上留著很深的痕跡。 所以我們這些蟲不要喪膽。全能的神能使我們在四圍患難的環境中變成剛強。靠著祂的力量，我們能叫我們的環境向我們屈服，向我們進貢。我們甚至能隨便抓住一個黑色的失望，把牠劈開來，從其中抽出恩典的寶石來。神也能給我們像鐵那般的意志，所有的難處都能迎刃而解，猶如堅土遇到鐵犁那樣鬆散。神既說：「我要使你……」祂豈會不如此行呢？ ─喬懷德 基督建造祂的國度，都是用地上破碎的東西建造的。人們所要的是強健的、成功的、勝利的、不碎的；但是神所要的乃是在地上不成功的、失敗的、傷心的、軟弱的。天上充滿著地上破碎的生命，沒有一根壓傷的蘆葦是基督所不能恢復的。祂能使一個被痛苦、憂愁所壓傷的生命，變成一架彈出讚美的音樂來的古琴。祂能把地上的失敗變成天上的榮耀。 ─密勒 跟從我，我要範鑄你們， 有力地傳佈我的福音， 成為流出慈恩的溝洫， 使你們成為有用之人。 跟從我， 我要範鑄你們， 脫胎換骨， 重新做人， 有信， 有愛， 忠實虔誠， 不愧為神的子民。

March 15 "Fear not, thou worm Jacob....I will make thee a threshing instrument with teeth." (Isa. 41:14, 15.) ＣOULD any two things be in greater contrast than a worm and an instrument with teeth? The worm is delicate, bruised by a stone, crushed beneath the passing wheel; an instrument with teeth can break and not be broken; it can grave its mark upon the rock. And the mighty God can convert the one into the other. He can take a man or a nation, who has all the impotence of the worm, and by the invigoration of His own Spirit, He can endow with strength by which a noble mark is left upon the history of the time. And so the "worm" may take heart. The mighty God can make us stronger than our circumstances. He can bend them all to our good. In God's strengthwe can make them all pay tribute to our souls. We can even take hold of a black disappointment, break it open, and extract some jewel of grace. When God gives us wills like iron, we can drive through difficulties as the iron share cuts through the toughest soil. "I will make thee," and shall He not do it? ─Dr. Jowett. Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things. Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. He can take the life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise. he can lift earth's saddest failure up to heaven's glory. ─J. R. Miller. "Follow Me, and I will make you".... Make you speak My words with power, Make you channels of My mercy, Make you helpful every hour. "Follow Me, and I will make you".... Make you what you cannot be─ Make you loving, trustful, godly, Make you even like to me. ─L. S. P.

三月十五日 保羅為代禱者 「我在父面前屈膝，……藉著祂的靈，叫你們心裡的力量剛強起來。」以弗所書三章14—16節 我們每逢想到保羅，就說他是偉大的傳道人、佈道家、大作家，及「格外勞苦」的大使徒；然而，我們卻不夠認識他是一位代禱者。他藉著祈求、尋求，並得著生活的能力，且能為他所服事的教會代求，帶下祝福。 我們看他上面寫給以弗所人的話，再想想他寫給帖撒羅尼迦人的話：「我們晝夜切切地祈求，以……補滿你們信心的不足；好使你們……心裡堅固，成為聖潔，無可責備。」（帖三10—13）在他寫給羅馬人書中說：「我怎樣不住的題到你們，在禱告之間。」（羅一9）寫給腓立比人書中說：「每逢為你們眾人祈求的時候，常是歡歡喜喜的祈求。」還有他寫給歌羅西人說：「我們為你們不住的禱告、祈求……」「我願意你們曉得，我為你們是何等盡心竭力。」（西一9；二1）保羅晝夜在神面前為他們呼籲，求聖靈的光與能力進入他們心內。他深信他的代求是大有功效的，照樣地，他也相信他們的代求會帶給他祝福。「我勸你們與我一同竭力，為我祈求神。」（羅十五30）「神現在仍要救我們……你們以祈禱幫助我們。」（林後一10—11）「也為我祈求，使我能放膽開口……」（弗六18—19；西四3；帖後三1）「藉著你們的禱告，終必叫我得救。」（腓一19） 神的僕人與百姓間的關係，完全基於同心合意恆切地禱告。他們之間的關係完全是屬天的、屬靈的、神聖的，只有靠恆切的禱告來維持。唯有當神的僕人與百姓能醒悟過來，知道聖靈的權能與祝福有賴於他們同心合意恆切的禱告時，教會才能真實地明白，甚麼是五旬節使徒時期的教會。 禱告： 永遠可稱頌的父啊，我們俯伏懇求您施恩，恢復教會懇求與代禱的靈——奉主的名。阿們。

三月十五日 膽怯的訓練 「跟從的人也害怕。」馬可福音十章32節 先時，我們雖然知道一些關於耶穌基督的事，樂於變賣一切所有，出於愛的去撇棄自己；但是現在卻有些恍惚。耶穌在前面，看來有些異樣。「耶穌在前頭走，門徒就希奇。」 耶穌的態度使門徒心冷，使全部靈性生活喘息不寧。祂的面容帶著鐵石的表情；而祂勇往直前的決心，尤令我感覺恐怖。祂不是導師，也不是同志；祂別有見解，我絕然不知道，徒增我的感慨與驚訝。先時我自信瞭解了祂，但是現在卻有不少的疑慮。我開始感覺耶穌基督和我之間有了阻隔，不像先前那麼熟識。祂在我前頭走，也不回頭；不知道往那裡去，祂奔赴的目標更是遙遠難知。 耶穌要探知人類所能經驗的一切罪惡與憂愁，那就是祂奇特的所在。當我們看見祂在這種情形中，不認知祂，也未瞭解祂生命的特點，更不知怎樣的追隨祂。祂在前面，像是一位奇特的領袖，與我們沒有同志的關係。 膽怯的訓練，在作門徒的訓練中，有根本的必要。最危險的是轉身依靠我們自己的小火（參賽五十10─11）。當喪膽的黑暗臨到時，耐心等待其過去，因為經過以後，我們就會覺 得追隨耶穌，有說不出的快樂。

三月十五日 「……你們要常在我的愛裡。」約翰福音十五章9節 我們能生活在很多不同的氣氛之下，有些人終日若有所思，他們的臉像個哲學家，他們也很有智慧。這些人生活在自己的感覺當中；他們對真理有主見、更有欣賞能力和審美觀念。有些人則活得像禽獸，他們生活在肉慾、眼睛的情慾之中；他們處在粗俗、下流、感官享受的氣氛之下。還有些人則生活在盡責任的壓力下，終日受良心斥責，使他們總是在恐懼的陰影之下，剝奪他們生命中的自由和生活裡的樂趣。不可否認的，這最後一種人的目的仍是誠實、正直、嚴謹的，他們的行為既不可忽視更不容置疑。 然而主基督要我們生活在愛的氣氛中。祂曾說：我愛你們，正如父愛我一樣，你們也要常在我的愛裡。在原文的版本中，祂的意思是要我們住或是生活在祂的愛裡。換言之，祂要我們永遠地活在祂的愛中，相信祂會一直愛我們，並且捉住祂的應許、享受祂的關心。這才真正是愛的生活。
