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.

三月十四日 「摩西就挨近神所在的幽暗之中。」出埃及記廿章21節 神今天仍有祂隱藏的祕密，向聰明通達人藏起來。可是你不必怕它們；儘管在神面前接受你所不解的東西；忍耐等候。不久祂要指示你黑暗中的寶貝，隱密中的榮耀。 不要怕進前面的黑雲。神在其中。「有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）倒要歡喜；因為你們是與基督一同受苦。」（彼前四 12、13）當你感到孤單的時候，須知神在咫尺。祂在黑雲中，等候你進去親近祂。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 這種遭遇， 可怕陰沈， 它預示風雨來臨。 雲漸漸迷漫開來， 一陣緊一陣， 地暗天昏， 雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 這是耶和華的凱旋車， 載著祂前來給你溫存， 雲是祂的面紗， 祂的衣襟。 你受不住那樣的光輝， 所以要遮掩祂的聖容。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 何等可怕的考驗， 如失去了可愛的親人， 又如威脅更如誘惑， 你將不知所措， 心迷神昏， 但雲中卻隱藏著天上的神。 黑雲罩上了你的生命， 你是否遇上了衰老病痛和死亡的陰雲？ 這些雲將皆在你奄奄一息時來到， 正像駕舟歸航， 別怕港口黑暗； 死亡之雲雖然寒冷陰沈， 終將鍍上金邊， 逐漸光明， 神就在這雲裏來臨。 某醫師一天站在一座高山頂上，觀看山下的陣雨；他看見一頭鷹衝出黑雲，向上高飛，身上帶著的水珠，在日光下閃爍，好似金鋼鑽一般美麗。如果山下沒有陣雨，牠必是仍在谷中。人生的苦難使我們向上近神。 ─選

March 14 "Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was." (Exod. 20:21.) ＧOD has still His hidden secrets, hidden from the wise and prudent. Do not fear them; be content to accept things that you cannot understand; wait patiently. Presently He will reveal to you the treasures of dardness, the riches of the glory of the mystery. Mystery is only the veil of God's face. Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. the other side is radiant with His glory. "Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you; but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's suffierings." When you seem loneliest and most forsaken, God is nigh. He is in the dark cloud. Plunge into the blackness of its darkness without flinching; under the shrouding curtain of His pavilion you will find God awaiting you. ─Selected. "Hast thou a cloud? Something that is dark and full of dread; A messenger of tempest overhead? A something that is darkening the sky; A something growing darker bye and bye; A something that thou fear'st will burst at last; A cloud that doth a deep, long shadow cast, God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? It is Jehovah's triumph car: in this He rideth to thee, o'er the wide abyss. It is the robe in which He wraps His form; For He doth gird Him with the flashing storm. It is the veil in which He hides the light Of His fair face, too dazzling for thy sight. God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A trial that is terrible to thee? A black temptation threatening to see? A loss of some dear one long thine own? A mist, a veiling, bringing the unknown? A mystery that unsubstantial seems: A cloud between thee and the sun's bright beams? God cometh in that cloud. Hast thou a cloud? A sickness─weak old age─distress and death? These clouds will scatter at thy last faint breath. Fear not the clouds that hover o'er thy barque, Making the harbour's entrance dire and dark; The cloud of death, though misty, chill and cold, Will yet grow radiant with a fringe of gold. GOD cometh in that cloud." As Dr. C. stood on a high peak of the Rocky Mountains watching a storm raging below him, an eagle came up through the clouds, and soared away towards the sun and the water upon him glistened in the sunlight like diamonds. Had it not been for the storm he might have remained in the valley. The sorrows of life cause us to rise towards God.

三月十四日 禱告的所在 「這些人……都同心合意地恆切禱告。」使徒行傳一章14節 基督臨離世前曾囑咐祂的教會四個要點：「要等候父所應許的。」「聖靈要降在你們身上，你們就必得著能力。」「你們要為我作見證。」「在耶路撒冷直到地極。」 同心恆切的禱告、聖靈的能力、為活的基督作活的見證人，從耶路撒冷直到地極——這些才是新約中的真正福音、服事，及教會的標記。一個同心意禱告的教會，一種充滿了聖靈的服事，為著活的基督作活的見證的一班人，報好消息給地上的每個人——這才是基督所建立的教會，也唯有這樣的教會才能勝過全世界。 基督升天之後，使徒們立刻知道他們的工作是甚麼，那就是繼續同心合意地恆切禱告，被基督的愛及聖靈捆在一起成為一體。就是這樣他們才得到奇妙的能力，從天上的神而臨到世上的人。 他們的責任乃是同心合意恆切地禱告，等候聖靈的能力；就是從高天所賜下的能力，使他們能直到地極為基督作見證。一個禱告的教會，一個被聖靈充滿的教會，一個見證的教會，以全地作見證的目標及範圍─這才是一個耶穌基督的教會。 只要教會守住這個特性，它就有能力得勝。但若她落到世界影響之下，那麼她將失去那屬天超然的美麗及能力。禱告將多麼不忠實，聖靈的工作也是那麼微弱，基督的見證流於形式，對於直到地極的託付何其不忠！ 禱告： 可稱頌的主耶穌，施恩予您的教會，求您賜下恆切禱告的靈像以往一樣，使您的教會能證實那與您同在的能力與教會同在，並為您作見證，使整個的世界都服在您的腳下。阿們。

三月十四日 順從 「順從誰，就作誰的奴僕。」羅馬書六章16節 想要察覺那支配我的權柄，第一件事，是要認可我自己要像這樣的被支配。如果我做我自己的奴僕，那我自己是應當負責的；因為我已經轉回頭來服從了自己。同樣，如果我順從神，那麼我應該自動的歸向祂。 在幼年時代歸順自私的人，自會覺得自私是世上最不易擺脫的事。人類心靈裡沒有力量打破所養成的奴性。在一秒鐘中，你順從了慾念（須記取慾念的意思：「我要立時得到」，無論是肉慾是意慾），僅僅只有一次，也許你咒詛自己不該如此，然而你是做了那件事的奴隸。要想掙脫，人是沒有力量的，只有救贖之力。你得完全甘心，依從那能擊退支配你的東西的一位，就是主耶穌基督。「祂用膏膏我，叫我傳福音給貧窮的人」。 我們在小事上感覺如此──「啊！我能隨隨便便改掉這個習慣。」你不能，你會覺得習慣絕對支配了你，因為你是甘心依從它。容易說──「祂能破除種種桎梏」，而同時自己作自己的奴僕。要想破除人類生活的任何奴性，除依從耶穌外，別無他法。

三月十四日 「我們原是祂的工作……」以弗所書二章10節 主耶穌差遣我們事奉祂，不是藉著我們自己的能力，乃是靠祂的來源和力量。以弗所書二章10節說：「我們原是祂的工作，在基督耶穌裡造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是神所豫備叫我們行的。」換言之，我們並不需豫備什麼，只要隨時依靠基督，就能應付生命中任何情況的需要。 我們必須靠信心接受神所賜的力量，繼續為祂工作，相信祂與我們同在，並且是這住在我們裡面的智慧、信心、愛、禱告、力量，以及我們工作所需的恩惠和恩賜。在信心這件事上，我們或許覺得軟弱、無助，甚至感覺不到能力的存在。然而只要我們相信祂，繼續前進，祂就必成為我們的能力，讓我們結果子。 我們最有益的事奉，乃是能在曠野中結出果實來，因為那果實是在最不毛之地所生出來的。何西阿書二章14—15節說：「後來我必勸導他，領他到曠野……他從那裡出來，我必賜他葡萄園……。」所以讓我們學習靠信心事奉、與主同行。那麼將來我們就能收穫信心的果實，看到許多得救的靈魂。而我們生命中所結的果實，更會在永恆中完全留存下來。
