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.

三月十二日 「那一晝一夜，耶和華使東風颳在埃及地上，到了早晨，東風把蝗蟲颳了來。……於是法老急忙召了摩西、亞倫來，耶和華轉了極大的西風，把蝗蟲颳起，吹入紅海，在埃及的四境連一個也沒有留下。」出埃及記十章13、16、19節 我們看神怎樣利用暴風拯救以色列人脫離殘酷的法老；還有神在表顯祂最大的神權時─神最後一次對付埃及的軍隊─也利用大東風（十四章21節）。當時以色列人都以為他們的處境太危急，太殘酷了─—前面是紅海，後面是追兵，兩旁都是高聳的山巖，斷絕了一切逃生的希望。以色列人在這時候只能彀仰望耶和華的拯救了。可是祂的拯救是大東風。這真出他們意外。可怕的風加增他們的驚慌，四周的寒冷凍得他們戰慄。他們怨神的拯救無非催逼他們死得快一點。恐怕那時他們全營的呼聲是：「我們死啦！埃及人追及我們了。」 正在絕望的時候，榮耀的勝利來了。吼聲可怕的東風把浪擊退，把海吹乾，以色列人向前走去，進入神的保護和慈愛中。兩旁是水晶的牆，前面是耶和華的榮光。終夜都是這樣；到了天一亮，最後一個以色列人也上了岸，大東風的使命便完成了。 於是以色列人向耶和華唱歌說：「成就他命的狂風……都當讚美耶和華。」（詩一四八8、12） 「仇敵說我要追趕，我要追上，我要分擄物…您叫風一吹，海就把他們淹沒，他們如鉛沉在大水之中。」（出十五9、10） 到有一天，我們要站在玻璃海上，拿著神的琴；與眾聖徒一同唱神僕人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌說：「眾聖之王阿，您的方法義哉，誠哉」（啟十五3，直譯） 如今你只覺得這大風暴的不可思議；將來你必看見威脅你的敵人，在戰慄恐怖的夜裏，殲滅淨盡。 如今你只注意到損失；將來你必見到祂為何打擊那已開始桎梧你的罪惡。 如今你因風嘯雷鳴而畏縮；將來你必知道祂如何擊退那滅絕生命的洪水，為你們開闢道路，通往那應許的福地。 ─皮爾斯 風雖猖狂奔放， 我的信心仍在歌唱。 我知道這不會傷害我， 神附在它的翅膀之上

March 12 "The Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts....Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste....And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt." (Exod. 10:13, 19.) ＳEE how in the olden times, when the Lord fought for Israel against the cruel Pharaoh, the stormy winds wrought out their deliverance; and yet again, in that grandest display of power─the last blow that God struck at the proud defiance of Egypt. A strange, almost cruel thing it must have seemed to Israel to be hemmed in by such a host of dangers─in front the wild sea defying them, on either hand the rocky heights cutting off all hope of escape, the night of hurricane gathering over them. It was as if that first deliverance had come only to hand them over to more certain death. Completing the terror there rang out the cry: "The Egyptians are upon us!" When it seemed they were trapped for the foe, then came the glorious triumph. Forth swept the stormy wind and beat back the waves, and the hosts of Israel marched forward, down into the path of the great deep─a way arched over with God's protecting love. On either hand were the crystal walls glowing in the light of the glory of the Lord; and high above them swept the thunder of the storm. So on through all that night; and when, at dawn of the next day, the last of Israel's host set foot upon the other shore, the work of the stormy wind was done. Then sang Israel unto the Lord the song of the "stormy wind fulfilling his word." "The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil....Thou didst blow with the wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters." One day, by God's great mercy, we, too, shall stand upon the sea of glass, having the harps of God. then we shall sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints." We shall know then how the stormy winds have wrought out our deliverance. Now you see only the mystery of this great sorrow; then you shall see how the threatening enemy was swept away in the wild night of fear and grief. Now you look only at the loss; then you shall see how it struck at the evil that had begun to rivet its fetters upon you. Now you shrink from the howling winds and muttering thunders; then you shall see how they beat back the waters of destruction, and opened up your way to the goodly land of promise. ─Mark Guy Pearse. "Though winds are wild, And the gale unleashed, My trusting heart still sings: I know that they mean No harm to me, He rideth on their wings."

三月十二日 神的旨意和我們的意念 「願您的旨意成全。」馬太福音廿六章42節 神的最大特權乃是天上地上一切事物，都將照祂的旨意成全。當神按著祂自己的形像造人時，首要地，神要使祂所造的人與祂有完全同一的願望。能與神相似乃人最大的榮耀——思想意念都與神相同。人成了神在肉體的具體顯出，並使神的願望能以成就。 當神造人時，給人意志並能來揀選他所該作的，祂將自己限制於祂的旨意中。當人墮落之後，落到神仇敵的掌握中；神無限的愛又開始一件偉大的工作，要將人從仇敵手中奪回來，成就祂自己的旨意。意念在神的裡面，也在人裡面，成了一個推動的力量。正如人落在追求屬世事物的慾望生活中，神必須救贖他、教育他，使他能過著與神相合的生活，神的目的乃是要人心中的意念與祂的意念完全相合。 神在這方面的最大救法，乃是差遣祂的兒子到世上來，在祂的人性裡面再一次顯出神的性情、神一切的旨意。祂在禱告中甘願獻上自己，來成全神一切的旨意，在肉身中的神子在極大痛苦中禱告：「願您的意旨成全。」祂甚至於在被神離棄時仍順服到底，如此才能使一直欺騙著人的權勢被征服，使人得蒙拯救。由於父與子之間這種奇妙完全的和諧，當神的兒子禱告「願父的旨意成就」時，神偉大的救贖才得完成。 如今正是特別蒙拯救的日子，信徒必須首先為自己，然後為別人代禱時向神說：「願您的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。」當我們這樣為教會——包括神家中所有的牧師、傳道人、剛強的及得救的信徒——為著那未蒙恩的，不論是掛名的基督徒或是異教徒呼籲的時候，我們有特權知道我們乃是為著神的旨意禱告，並且藉著禱告使神的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。

三月十二日 撇下所有的 「彼得就對祂說，看哪！我們已經撇下所有的跟從您了。」馬可福音十章28節 總而言之，我們的主所說的撇棄，是祂自己的撇棄，不是門徒有所為而為的撇棄。當心撇棄裡含有商業的氣味──「我委身於神，是因為我要脫離罪惡，因為要成聖。」這是我們與神有正式關係的結果，但是不一定是基督教根本的性質。撇棄是無所為而為的。我們已經是商業化了，來到神面前為的有所得，而不是為神。這好像說：「主啊！我所要的不是你，是我自己；我要自己潔淨，要充滿聖靈；要被放在你的陳列室中，使我得以說：「這是神為我所行的。」如果我們以一點點給神，換更多回來，在我們的撇棄裡就全無聖靈；這是卑陋自私的商業興趣。我們抓著了天，我們脫離了罪，我們生來有用於神──這些事在真正的撇棄裡不能有所考慮；因為撇棄是出於我們完全自願的去為耶穌基督。 當我們遇著實際關係的時候，把耶穌基督置於何地呢？我們多數是離棄祂──「是的，主啊！我聽見了您的呼召；但是我的母親妻子和我自己的利益阻擋了我，叫我不能再進一步了。」於是耶穌回答說：「你不配作我的門徒。」 撇棄的試驗是要超過愛人的頸項。走過吧！為神的撇棄必要補償你由撇棄所受的損失。當心我們對於神之半撇棄半不撇棄。僅僅知道在理想中撇棄，這是我們之中大多數人的毛病。

三月十二日 「他們在曠野荒地漂流……」詩篇一百零七篇4節 所有為神爭戰的人，都應該不再在乎人好聽的意見和諂媚的讚美。即使好聽的意見是從神的子民而來，我們也不能破例。因為那狡猾的惡者能很容易地使這樣的話語滿足我們肉體的驕傲。 雖然神能藉同工使我們肯定所做的，但是我們絕不能把得到認同視為行事的動機。因為這種動機是毒藥，會剝奪我們能力。我們應該歸榮耀給神的能力。但是有時我們必須以在曠野荒地單獨漂流為滿足。 屬神的人必須單獨地與神同行，他必須以瞭解神是無所不知的為滿足。雖然我們的老我能從他人的臉色、看法和同情得到慰藉。雖然、將別人的幫助視為是「弟兄的愛」來欺騙自己；但是事實上，靠人的同情不僅是屬地的，而且是不可靠的。
