道成了肉身

太初有道,道与 神同在,道就是 神。 这道太初与 神同在。 万物都是藉着他造的,没有一样不是藉着他造的。凡被造的, 在他里面有生命[a],这生命就是人的光。 光照在黑暗里,黑暗却没有胜过光[b]

有一个人,是从 神那里差来的,名叫约翰 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。 他不是那光,而是要为那光作见证。 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 腓力伯赛大人,是安得烈彼得的同乡。 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。”

1-2 Before anything else existed,[a] there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make. Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind. His life is the light that shines through the darkness—and the darkness can never extinguish it.

6-7 God sent John the Baptist as a witness to the fact that Jesus Christ is the true Light. John himself was not the Light; he was only a witness to identify it.

Later on, the one who is the true Light arrived to shine on everyone coming into the world.

10 But although he made the world, the world didn’t recognize him when he came. 11-12 Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.[b] 13 All those who believe this are reborn!—not a physical rebirth[c] resulting from human passion or plan—but from the will of God.

14 And Christ[d] became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen his glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!

15 John pointed him out to the people, telling the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming who is greater by far than I am—for he existed long before I did!’” 16 We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us—blessing upon blessing heaped upon us! 17 For Moses gave us only the Law with its rigid demands and merciless justice, while Jesus Christ brought us loving forgiveness as well. 18 No one has ever actually seen God, but, of course, his only Son has, for he is the companion of the Father and has told us all about him.

19 The Jewish leaders[e] sent priests and assistant priests from Jerusalem to ask John whether he claimed to be the Messiah.

20 He denied it flatly. “I am not the Christ,” he said.

21 “Well then, who are you?” they asked. “Are you Elijah?”

“No,” he replied.

“Are you the Prophet?”[f]

“No.”

22 “Then who are you? Tell us, so we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you have to say for yourself?”

23 He replied, “I am a voice from the barren wilderness, shouting as Isaiah prophesied, ‘Get ready for the coming of the Lord!’”

24-25 Then those who were sent by the Pharisees asked him, “If you aren’t the Messiah or Elijah or the Prophet, what right do you have to baptize?”

26 John told them, “I merely baptize with[g] water, but right here in the crowd is someone you have never met, 27 who will soon begin his ministry among you, and I am not even fit to be his slave.”

28 This incident took place at Bethany, a village on the other side of the Jordan River where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the world’s sin! 30 He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Soon a man far greater than I am is coming, who existed long before me!’ 31 I didn’t know he was the one, but I am here baptizing with water in order to point him out to the nation of Israel.”

32 Then John told about seeing the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descending from heaven and resting upon Jesus.

33 “I didn’t know he was the one,” John said again, “but at the time God sent me to baptize he told me, ‘When you see the Holy Spirit descending and resting upon someone—he is the one you are looking for. He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I saw it happen to this man, and I therefore testify that he is the Son of God.”

35 The following day as John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 Jesus walked by. John looked at him intently and then declared, “See! There is the Lamb of God!”

37 Then John’s two disciples turned and followed Jesus.

38 Jesus looked around and saw them following. “What do you want?” he asked them.

“Sir,” they replied, “where do you live?”

39 “Come and see,” he said. So they went with him to the place where he was staying and were with him from about four o’clock that afternoon until the evening. 40 (One of these men was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.)

41 Andrew then went to find his brother Peter and told him, “We have found the Messiah!” 42 And he brought Peter to meet Jesus.

Jesus looked intently at Peter for a moment and then said, “You are Simon, John’s son—but you shall be called Peter, the rock!”

43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and told him, “Come with me.” 44 (Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew and Peter’s hometown.)

45 Philip now went off to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the Messiah!—the very person Moses and the prophets told about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth!”

46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from there?”

“Just come and see for yourself,” Philip declared.

47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Here comes an honest man—a true son of Israel.”

48 “How do you know what I am like?” Nathanael demanded.

And Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.”

49 Nathanael replied, “Sir, you are the Son of God—the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe all this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater proofs than this. 51 You will even see heaven open and the angels of God coming back and forth to me, the Messiah.”[h]

Предвечното Слово

(A)(B)В началото[a] беше Словото; и Словото беше у Бога; и Словото беше Бог. То беше в началото у Бога. (C)Всичко беше сътворено чрез Него; и без Него не е станало нищо от онова, което е станало. (D)У Него беше животът, и животът беше светлината на човеците. И светлината свети в мрака; и мракът не я обзе.

Йоан – предтеча на Спасителя

(E)Имаше един човек на име Йоан, изпратен от Бога. (F)Той дойде за свидетелство, за да свидетелства за светлината, тъй че всички да повярват чрез него. Той не беше светлината, но беше изпратен да свидетелства за светлината.

Словото се въплътява

(G)Съществуваше тази истинска светлина, която дойде в света и просветлява всеки човек[b]. 10 (H)Словото беше в света и светът бе създаден чрез Него, но светът не Го позна[c]. 11 То дойде при Своите Си, но Своите не Го приеха. 12 (I)А на онези, които Го приеха и повярваха в Неговото име, Той им даде възможност да станат Божии деца. 13 (J)Те не се родиха от кръвта на земни родители, нито от плътско желание, нито от мъжко желание, но от Бога.

14 (K)И Словото стана плът и живя между нас, пълно с благодат и истина. И ние видяхме славата Му, слава на Единородния от Отца. 15 (L)Йоан свидетелстваше за Него и гръмко възвестяваше: „Този е, за Когото казах: ‘Той идва след мене, но ме превъзхожда, понеже съществуваше преди мене’.“ 16 От Неговата Божествена пълнота всички ние получихме благодат след благодат, 17 защото Законът беше даден чрез Мойсей, а благодатта и истината дойдоха чрез Иисус Христос. 18 (M)Никой никога не е видял Бога. Единородният Син[d], Който е у Отец[e], Той ясно Го разкри.

Свидетелство на Йоан Кръстител за Месия

19 (N)Ето това е свидетелството на Йоан, когато юдеите изпратиха свещеници и левити от Йерусалим да го попитат: „Ти кой си?“ 20 (O)Той изповяда и не отказа да отговори, а заяви: „Аз не съм Христос.“ 21 (P)Тогава го попитаха: „Кой си ти? Илия ли си?“ Йоан им отговори: „Не съм.“ Пак попитаха: „Ти ли си Пророкът?“ А той отговори: „Не съм.“ 22 И го запитаха: „Кажи кой си, за да дадем отговор на онези, които са ни изпратили! Какво ти казваш за себе си?“ 23 (Q)Той рече: „Аз съм гласът на викащия в пустинята: Пригответе пътя за Господа! – както е казал пророк Исаия.“

24 А питащите бяха изпратени от фарисеите. 25 И те го попитаха: „Защо тогава кръщаваш, ако не си Христос, нито Илия, нито Пророкът?“ 26 Йоан им отговори: „Аз кръщавам с вода, но посред вас стои Един, Когото вие не познавате. 27 (R)Този е, Който идва след мене. Той ме превъзхожда[f] и аз не съм достоен да развържа ремъка на обувките Му.“ 28 Това стана във Витавара[g] отвъд Йордан, където Йоан кръщаваше.

Свидетелство на Йоан Предтеча при кръщаването на Иисус Христос

29 (S)На следващия ден Йоан видя Иисус, че идва към него, и каза: „Ето Божия Агнец, Който взема греха на света. 30 (T)Този е, за Когото казах: ‘След мене идва Мъж, Който ме превъзхожда, защото съществуваше преди мене.’ 31 И аз не Го знаех[h], но затова дойдох да кръщавам с вода, за да стане известен на Израил.“ 32 (U)Тогава Йоан свидетелстваше, като казваше: „Видях Духа да слиза от небето като гълъб и да остава над Него. 33 (V)Аз не Го знаех, но Този, Който ме изпрати да кръщавам с вода, ми рече: ‘Над Когото видиш да слиза Духът и да остава върху Него, Той е, Който кръщава със Светия Дух.’ 34 И видях това и свидетелствам, че Този е Синът Божий.“

Първите апостоли

35 На следващия ден Йоан пак стоеше там с двама от учениците си. 36 И когато съгледа Иисус да минава, каза: „Ето Божия Агнец!“ 37 Двамата ученици чуха какво каза той и последваха Иисус. 38 А Иисус, като се обърна и видя, че Го следват, каза им: „Какво искате?“ Те Му отговориха: „Рави“ – което значи „Учителю“ – „къде живееш?“ 39 Той им отговори: „Елате и вижте.“ Те отидоха с Него и видяха къде живее. И останаха при Него през този ден. Беше около четири часа след обяд. 40 Единият от двамата, които чуха за Иисус от Йоан и Го последваха, беше Андрей, братът на Симон Петър.

41 Той пръв[i] намери брат си Симон и му каза: „Намерихме Месия“, което в превод значи „Христос“. 42 (W)И го заведе при Иисус. А Иисус се вгледа в него и рече: „Ти си Симон, син на Йона. Ти ще се наречеш Кифа“, което значи Петър[j].

43 На другия ден Иисус пожела да отиде в Галилея. Той намери Филип и му каза: „Следвай Ме!“ 44 А Филип беше от Витсаида, от града на Андрей и Петър. 45 (X)Филип намери Натаниил и му каза: „Намерихме Иисус, син на Йосиф, от Назарет, за Когото Мойсей писа в Закона, а също и пророците.“ 46 (Y)А Натаниил му каза: „От Назарет може ли да произлезе нещо добро?“ Филип му отговори: „Ела и виж!“ 47 Иисус видя да идва при Него Натанаил и каза за него: „Ето един истински израилтянин, у когото няма лукавство.“ 48 Натанаил Го запита: „Откъде ме познаваш?“ Иисус отговори: „Преди да те повика Филип, Аз те видях, когато беше под смокинята.“ 49 (Z)Натанаил отговори: „Учителю, Ти си Божият Син! Ти си Израилевият Цар!“ 50 Иисус в отговор му каза: „Затова ли повярва, понеже ти казах, че те видях под смокинята? Ще видиш по-големи неща от това.“ 51 (AA)И добави: „Истината, истината ви казвам: отсега нататък[k] ще видите небето отворено и Божиите ангели да възлизат и да слизат над Сина човешки.“

The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word,(A) and the Word was with God,(B) and the Word was God.(C) He was with God in the beginning.(D) Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.(E) In him was life,(F) and that life was the light(G) of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness,(H) and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.(I)

There was a man sent from God whose name was John.(J) He came as a witness to testify(K) concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.(L) He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

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)
