约翰福音 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
道成了肉身
1 太初有道，道与 神同在，道就是 神。 2 这道太初与 神同在。 3 万物都是藉着他造的，没有一样不是藉着他造的。凡被造的， 4 在他里面有生命[a]，这生命就是人的光。 5 光照在黑暗里，黑暗却没有胜过光[b]。
6 有一个人，是从 神那里差来的，名叫约翰。 7 这人来是为了作见证，是为那光作见证，要使众人藉着他而信。 8 他不是那光，而是要为那光作见证。 9 那光是真光，来到世上，照亮所有的人[c]。 10 他在世界，世界是藉着他造的，世界却不认识他。 11 他来到自己的地方，自己的人并不接纳他。 12 凡接纳他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄作 神的儿女。 13 这些人不是从血生的，不是从情欲生的，也不是从人的意愿生的，而是从 神生的。
14 道成了肉身，住在我们中间，充充满满地有恩典有真理，我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独一儿子[d]的荣光。 15 约翰为他作见证，喊着说：“这就是我曾说：‘那在我以后来的先于我，因为在我以前，他已经存在。’” 16 从他的丰富里，我们都领受了恩典，而且恩上加恩。 17 律法是藉着摩西颁布的；恩典和真理却是由耶稣基督来的。 18 从来没有人见过 神，只有在父怀里独一的儿子将他表明出来。
施洗约翰的见证(A)
19 这是约翰的见证：犹太人从耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到约翰那里去问他：“你是谁？” 20 他就承认，并不隐瞒，承认说：“我不是基督。” 21 他们又问他：“那么，你是谁？是以利亚吗？”他说：“我不是。”“是那位先知吗？”他回答：“不是。” 22 于是他们对他说：“你到底是谁，好让我们回覆差我们来的人。你说，你自己是谁？” 23 他说：
“我就是那在旷野呼喊的声音：
修直主的道。”
正如以赛亚先知所说的。
24 那些人是法利赛人差来的。 25 他们就问他：“你既不是基督，不是以利亚，也不是那位先知，那么，你为什么施洗呢？” 26 约翰回答：“我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你们中间，是你们不认识的， 27 就是那在我以后来的，我给他解鞋带也不配。” 28 这些事发生在约旦河东边的伯大尼[e]，约翰施洗的地方。
神的羔羊
29 第二天，约翰看见耶稣来到他那里，就说：“看哪， 神的羔羊，除去世人的罪的！ 30 这就是我曾说‘那在我以后来的先于我，因为在我以前，他已经存在’的那一位。 31 我先前不认识他，如今我来用水施洗，为要使他显明给以色列人。” 32 约翰又作见证说：“我曾看见圣灵仿佛鸽子从天降下，停留在他的身上。 33 我先前不认识他，可是那差我来用水施洗的对我说：‘你看见圣灵降下来，停留在谁的身上，谁就是用圣灵施洗的。’ 34 我看见了，所以作证：这一位是 神的儿子。”
初次选召门徒
35 又过了一天，约翰同两个门徒站在那里。 36 他见耶稣走过，就说：“看哪， 神的羔羊！” 37 两个门徒听见他的话，就跟从了耶稣。 38 耶稣转过身来，看见他们跟着，就问他们说：“你们要什么？”他们对他说：“拉比，你在哪里住？”（“拉比”翻出来就是老师。） 39 耶稣说：“你们来看。”他们就去看他在哪里住。这一天他们就跟他同住；那时大约是下午四点钟。 40 听了约翰的话而跟从耶稣的那两个人，其中一个是西门‧彼得的弟弟安得烈。 41 他先找到自己的哥哥西门，对他说：“我们遇见弥赛亚了。”（“弥赛亚”翻出来就是基督。） 42 于是安得烈领西门去见耶稣。耶稣看着他，说：“你是约翰[f]的儿子西门，你要称为矶法。”（“矶法”翻出来就是彼得[g]。）
呼召腓力和拿但业
43 又过了一天，耶稣想要往加利利去。他找到腓力，就对他说：“来跟从我！” 44 这腓力是伯赛大人，是安得烈和彼得的同乡。 45 腓力找到拿但业，对他说：“摩西在律法书上所写的，和众先知所记的那一位，我们遇见了，就是约瑟的儿子拿撒勒人耶稣。” 46 拿但业对他说：“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗？”腓力说：“你来看。” 47 耶稣看见拿但业向他走来，就论到他说：“看哪，这真是个以色列人！他心里是没有诡诈的。” 48 拿但业对耶稣说：“你从哪里认识我的？”耶稣回答他说：“腓力还没有呼唤你，你在无花果树底下，我就看见你了。” 49 拿但业回答他：“拉比！你是 神的儿子，你是以色列的王。” 50 耶稣回答他说：“因为我说在无花果树底下看见你，你就信吗？你将看见比这些更大的事呢！” 51 他又说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，你们将要看见天开了， 神的使者在人子身上，上去下来。”

Christ Comes to the World
1 Before the world began, the Word[a] was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was there with God in the beginning. 3 Everything was made through him, and nothing was made without him. 4 In him there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world. 5 The light[b] shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated[c] it.
6 There was a man named John, who was sent by God. 7 He came to tell people about the light. Through him all people could hear about the light and believe. 8 John was not the light. But he came to tell people about the light. 9 The true light was coming into the world. This is the true light that gives light to all people.
10 The Word was already in the world. The world was made through him, but the world did not know him. 11 He came to the world that was his own. And his own people did not accept him. 12 But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God. 13 They became God’s children, but not in the way babies are usually born. It was not because of any human desire or plan. They were born from God himself.
14 The Word became a man and lived among us. We saw his divine greatness—the greatness that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of grace and truth. 15 John told people about him. He said loudly, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he was living before I was even born.’”
16 Yes, the Word was full of grace and truth, and from him we all received one blessing after another.[d] 17 That is, the law was given to us through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son is the one who has shown us what God is like. He is himself God and is very close to the Father.[e]
John Tells About the Messiah(A)
19 The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent some priests and Levites to John to ask him, “Who are you?” He told them the truth. 20 Without any hesitation he said openly and plainly, “I am not the Messiah.”
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”
He answered, “No, I am not Elijah.”
They asked, “Are you the Prophet[f]?”
He answered, “No, I am not the Prophet.”
22 Then they said, “Who are you? Tell us about yourself. Give us an answer to tell the people who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John told them the words of the prophet Isaiah:
“I am the voice of someone shouting in the desert:
‘Make a straight road ready for the Lord.’” (B)
24 These Jews were sent from the Pharisees. 25 They said to John, “You say you are not the Messiah. You say you are not Elijah or the Prophet. Then why do you baptize people?”
26 John answered, “I baptize people with water. But there is someone here with you that you don’t know. 27 He is the one who is coming later. I am not good enough to be the slave who unties the strings on his sandals.”
28 These things all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan River. This is where John was baptizing people.
Jesus, the Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God. He takes away the sins of the world! 30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘There is a man coming after me who is greater than I am, because he was living even before I was born.’ 31 I did not know who he was. But I came baptizing people with water so that Israel could know that he is the Messiah.[g]”
32-34 Then John said this for everyone to hear: “I also did not know who the Messiah was. But the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘You will see the Spirit come down and rest on a man. He is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen this happen. I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on this man. So this is what I tell people: ‘He is the Son of God.’[h]”
The First Followers of Jesus
35 The next day John was there again and had two of his followers with him. 36 He saw Jesus walking by and said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 The two followers heard him say this, so they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw the two men following him. He asked, “What do you want?”
They said, “Rabbi, where are you staying?” (“Rabbi” means “Teacher.”)
39 He answered, “Come with me and you will see.” So the two men went with him. They saw the place where he was staying, and they stayed there with him that day. It was about four o’clock.
40 These men followed Jesus after they had heard about him from John. One of them was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to go and find his brother Simon. Andrew said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” (“Messiah” means “Christ.”)
42 Then Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas.” (“Cephas” means “Peter.[i]”)
43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He met Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Philip was from the town of Bethsaida, the same as Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the man that Moses wrote about in the law. The prophets wrote about him too. He is Jesus, the son of Joseph. He is from Nazareth.”
46 But Nathanael said to Philip, “Nazareth! Can anything good come from Nazareth?”
Philip answered, “Come and see.”
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said, “This man coming is a true Israelite, one you can trust.[j]”
48 Nathanael asked, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered, “I saw you when you were under the fig tree, before Philip told you about me.”
49 Then Nathanael said, “Teacher, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe this just because I said I saw you under the fig tree? You will see much greater things than that!” 51 Then he said, “Believe me when I say that you will all see heaven open. You will see ‘angels of God going up and coming down’[k] on the Son of Man.”

New International Version
John 1
New International Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word,(A) and the Word was with God,(B) and the Word was God.(C) 2 He was with God in the beginning.(D) 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(E) 4 In him was life,(F) and that life was the light(G) of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness,(H) and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.(I)
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.(J) 7 He came as a witness to testify(K) concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.(L) 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light(M) that gives light to everyone(N) was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,(O) the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.(P) 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed(Q) in his name,(R) he gave the right to become children of God(S)— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.(T)
14 The Word became flesh(U) and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory,(V) the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace(W) and truth.(X)
15 (John testified(Y) concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)(Z) 16 Out of his fullness(AA) we have all received grace(AB) in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses;(AC) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.(AD) 18 No one has ever seen God,(AE) but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b](AF) is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John the Baptist Denies Being the Messiah
19 Now this was John’s(AG) testimony when the Jewish leaders[c](AH) in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”(AI)
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”(AJ)
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”(AK)
He answered, “No.”
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness,(AL) ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”[d](AM)
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
26 “I baptize with[e] water,”(AN) John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me,(AO) the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”(AP)
28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan,(AQ) where John was baptizing.
John Testifies About Jesus
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,(AR) who takes away the sin of the world!(AS) 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’(AT) 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.(AU) 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water(AV) told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’(AW) 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”[f](AX)
John’s Disciples Follow Jesus(AY)
35 The next day John(AZ) was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”(BA)
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”
They said, “Rabbi”(BB) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”
39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”
So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.
40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).(BC) 42 And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called(BD) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[g]).(BE)
Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip,(BF) he said to him, “Follow me.”(BG)
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.(BH) 45 Philip found Nathanael(BI) and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,(BJ) and about whom the prophets also wrote(BK)—Jesus of Nazareth,(BL) the son of Joseph.”(BM)
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?”(BN) Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite(BO) in whom there is no deceit.”(BP)
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi,(BQ) you are the Son of God;(BR) you are the king of Israel.”(BS)
50 Jesus said, “You believe[h] because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you,[i] you[j] will see ‘heaven open,(BT) and the angels of God ascending and descending(BU) on’[k] the Son of Man.”(BV)
