施洗約翰為真光作見證

太初有道,道與神同在,道就是神。 這道太初與神同在。 萬物是藉著他造的;凡被造的,沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。 生命在他裡頭,這生命就是人的光。 光照在黑暗裡,黑暗卻不接受光。 有一個人,是從神那裡差來的,名叫約翰 這人來,為要作見證,就是為光作見證,叫眾人因他可以信。 他不是那光,乃是要為光作見證。 那光是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。 10 他在世界,世界也是藉著他造的,世界卻不認識他。 11 他到自己的地方來,自己的人倒不接待他。 12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜他們權柄做神的兒女。 13 這等人不是從血氣生的,不是從情慾生的,也不是從人意生的,乃是從神生的。 14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。

恩典真理是由耶穌基督來的

15 約翰為他作見證,喊著說:「這就是我曾說,『那在我以後來的,反成了在我以前的,因他本來在我以前。』」 16 從他豐滿的恩典裡,我們都領受了,而且恩上加恩。 17 律法本是藉著摩西傳的,恩典和真理都是由耶穌基督來的。 18 從來沒有人看見神,只有在父懷裡的獨生子將他表明出來。

約翰證明自己不是基督

19 約翰所作的見證記在下面。猶太人從耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到約翰那裡,問他說:「你是誰?」 20 他就明說,並不隱瞞,明說:「我不是基督。」 21 他們又問他說:「這樣,你是誰呢?是以利亞嗎?」他說:「我不是。」「是那先知嗎?」他回答說:「不是。」 22 於是他們說:「你到底是誰?叫我們好回覆差我們來的人。你自己說你是誰?」 23 他說:「我就是那在曠野有人聲喊著說:『修直主的道路』,正如先知以賽亞所說的。」 24 那些人是法利賽人差來的。[a] 25 他們就問他說:「你既不是基督,不是以利亞,也不是那先知,為什麼施洗呢?」 26 約翰回答說:「我是用水施洗,但有一位站在你們中間,是你們不認識的, 27 就是那在我以後來的,我給他解鞋帶也不配。」 28 這是在約旦河外伯大尼[b]約翰施洗的地方作的見證。

  2. 約翰福音 1:28 有古卷作:伯大巴喇。

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
