施洗约翰为真光作见证

太初有道,道与神同在,道就是神。 这道太初与神同在。 万物是借着他造的;凡被造的,没有一样不是借着他造的。 生命在他里头,这生命就是人的光。 光照在黑暗里,黑暗却不接受光。 有一个人,是从神那里差来的,名叫约翰 这人来,为要作见证,就是为光作见证,叫众人因他可以信。 他不是那光,乃是要为光作见证。 那光是真光,照亮一切生在世上的人。 10 他在世界,世界也是借着他造的,世界却不认识他。 11 他到自己的地方来,自己的人倒不接待他。 12 凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就赐他们权柄做神的儿女。 13 这等人不是从血气生的,不是从情欲生的,也不是从人意生的,乃是从神生的。 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,正是父独生子的荣光。

恩典真理是由耶稣基督来的

15 约翰为他作见证,喊着说:“这就是我曾说,‘那在我以后来的,反成了在我以前的,因他本来在我以前。’” 16 从他丰满的恩典里,我们都领受了,而且恩上加恩。 17 律法本是借着摩西传的,恩典和真理都是由耶稣基督来的。 18 从来没有人看见神,只有在父怀里的独生子将他表明出来。

约翰证明自己不是基督

19 约翰所作的见证记在下面。犹太人从耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到约翰那里,问他说:“你是谁?” 20 他就明说,并不隐瞒,明说:“我不是基督。” 21 他们又问他说:“这样,你是谁呢?是以利亚吗?”他说:“我不是。”“是那先知吗?”他回答说:“不是。” 22 于是他们说:“你到底是谁?叫我们好回复差我们来的人。你自己说你是谁?” 23 他说:“我就是那在旷野有人声喊着说:‘修直主的道路’,正如先知以赛亚所说的。” 24 那些人是法利赛人差来的。[a] 25 他们就问他说:“你既不是基督,不是以利亚,也不是那先知,为什么施洗呢?” 26 约翰回答说:“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 这是在约旦河外伯大尼[b]约翰施洗的地方作的见证。

神的羔羊

29 次日,约翰看见耶稣来到他那里,就说:“看哪,神的羔羊,除去[c]世人罪孽的! 30 这就是我曾说:‘有一位在我以后来、反成了在我以前的,因他本来在我以前。’ 31 我先前不认识他,如今我来用水施洗,为要叫他显明给以色列人。” 32 约翰又作见证说:“我曾看见圣灵仿佛鸽子从天降下,住在他的身上。 33 我先前不认识他,只是那差我来用水施洗的对我说:‘你看见圣灵降下来,住在谁的身上,谁就是用圣灵施洗的。’ 34 我看见了,就证明这是神的儿子。”

约翰的两个门徒跟从耶稣

35 再次日,约翰同两个门徒站在那里。 36 他见耶稣行走,就说:“看哪,这是神的羔羊!” 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?”他们说:“拉比,在哪里住?”(“拉比”翻出来就是“夫子”。) 39 耶稣说:“你们来看。”他们就去看他在哪里住,这一天便与他同住。那时约有申正了。 40 听见约翰的话跟从耶稣的那两个人,一个是西门彼得的兄弟安得烈 41 他先找着自己的哥哥西门,对他说:“我们遇见弥赛亚了!”(“弥赛亚”翻出来就是“基督”。) 42 于是领他去见耶稣。耶稣看着他说:“你是约翰[d]的儿子西门,你要称为矶法。”(“矶法”翻出来就是“彼得”。)

召腓力拿但业为门徒

43 又次日,耶稣想要往加利利去,遇见腓力,就对他说:“来跟从我吧!” 44 腓力伯赛大人,和安得烈彼得同城。 45 腓力找着拿但业,对他说:“摩西在律法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 耶稣看见拿但业来,就指着他说:“看哪,这是个真以色列人,他心里是没有诡诈的!” 48 拿但业对耶稣说:“你从哪里知道我呢?”耶稣回答说:腓力还没有招呼你,你在无花果树底下,我就看见你了。”

拿但业认耶稣为神之子

49 拿但业说:“拉比,你是神的儿子,你是以色列的王!” 50 耶稣对他说:“因为我说在无花果树底下看见你,你就信吗?你将要看见比这更大的事!” 51 又说:“我实实在在地告诉你们:你们将要看见天开了,神的使者上去下来在人子身上。”

基督耶稣-永恒之言

最初有道 [a],道与上帝同在,道即是上帝。 这道最初就与上帝同在。 万物通过他而产生,没有他,什么也不会产生。 他蕴含着生命,这生命给人类带来了光明。 光明在黑暗中闪耀,但是黑暗无法战胜光明。 [b]

上帝派来了一个人,名叫约翰, 他来是为光作见证的,以便通过他使所有的人相信这光。 约翰本身不是这光,而是来为这光作证的。 真正的光将要来到这个世界,这是照亮所有人的光。

10 他(道)已在这个世界上了。这个世界通过他而产生,但这个世界却不认识他。 11 他来到自己的家,可是他自己的人却不接受他。 12 不过,对于接受他的人,也就是信仰他的名字的人,他都赋予了他们成为上帝孩子的权力。 13 这些人不是靠自然传宗接代、情欲或人的愿望而生的,而是上帝所生。

14 道变成了肉身,生活在我们中间。我们看到了他的荣耀-父之独子的荣耀,他从天父那里来,充满了恩典和真理。

15 约翰为他作证,呼喊道∶“关于这个人,我曾说过∶‘那个在我之后来的人比我更伟大,因为他在我之前就存在了。”

16 我们都领受到了他丰盛的恩典与真理,得到他赐与的无尽福泽。 17 律法是通过摩西颁布的,而恩典和真理是通过耶稣基督而来的。 18 没有人见过上帝,但是在父亲身边的独子 [c]-也是上帝-使他为众所周知。

约翰讲述米赛亚(基督)

19 耶路撒冷的犹太人派祭司和利未人去见约翰,问他道∶“你是谁?”下面是约翰的证言:

20 约翰直言不讳地回答了,他承认说∶“我不是基督。”

21 他们问他∶“那么你是谁呢?是以利亚 [d]吗?”

他说∶“不是。”

他们又问∶“你是那位先知 [e]吗?”

他回答道∶“不是。”

22 所以,他们对他说∶“那么你是谁?告诉我们,好让我们回答那些派我们来的人。你自己说,你是什么人呢?”

23 约翰回答说:

“我是在旷野里那个呼唤人的声音∶‘为主修直道路!’” (A)

24 这些人是法利赛人派来的。 25 他们问约翰道∶“如果你不是基督、以利亚,也不是先知,那么你为什么施洗礼?”

26 约翰回答他们说∶“我用水给人们施洗礼,在你们中间,站着一位你们不认识的人, 27 他是那位在我之后来的人,我甚至都不配当给他解鞋带的奴仆。” 28 这一切发生在约旦河对岸的伯大尼,约翰在那里为人们施洗礼。

耶稣-上帝的羔羊

29 第二天,约翰看见耶稣向他走来,便说∶“看,上帝的羔羊 [f],他除掉世上的罪孽。 30 关于他,我曾说过∶‘在我之后来的那个人比我伟大,因为在我之前他就存在了。’ 31 我自己不认识他,但是我来用水为人们施洗礼,为的是使他的名字传遍以色列。”

32 然后,约翰作见证说∶“我已看到圣灵像鸽子一样从天堂而降,落在他的身上。 33 虽然我自己不认识他,但是派我来用水施洗礼的人告诉我∶‘你将看到圣灵降落在那个人身上,他就是用圣灵施洗的人。’ 34 我已经看见了这一切,我作证他就是上帝之子。”

耶稣最早的门徒

35 第二天,约翰和他的两个门徒又在那个地方。 36 当他们看见耶稣走过时,约翰说∶“看,上帝的羔羊。”

37 两个门徒听到了他的话,便跟着耶稣走了。 38 耶稣转过身,看到他们跟着他,就问∶“你们要什么?”

他们对他说∶“拉比(老师),您住在哪里?”

39 耶稣对他们说∶“你们来看吧。”于是,两个人就去看他住的地方,并和他共度了那天,当时大约四点左右。

40 听了约翰的话后跟耶稣走了的两个人当中,其中一个是西门彼得的兄弟安得烈。 41 他立刻找到他的兄弟西门,告诉他∶“我们找到弥赛亚了。”

42 他带着西门去见耶稣,耶稣看着他说∶“你是约翰的儿子西门,你以后要叫彼得 [g]。”

43 第二天,耶稣决定到加利利去。他找到腓力,对他说∶“跟从我。” 44 腓力来自伯赛大,和安得烈、彼得是同乡。 45 腓力找到了拿但业,告诉他说∶“我们找到了摩西律法和先知记载的那个人,他是来自拿撒勒的耶稣,约瑟的儿子。”

46 拿但业说∶“拿撒勒能出什么好东西呢?”

腓力说∶“你来看吧。”

47 耶稣看到拿但业朝他走来,关于他,耶稣说道∶“过来的这个人是一个真正的以色列人,他心里没有任何诡诈。”

48 拿但业说∶“您怎么知道我呢?”

耶稣回答说∶“腓力叫你之前,我看见你在那棵无花果树下。”

49 拿但业说∶“拉比(老师),您是上帝之子,您是以色列王。”

50 耶稣回答道∶“你是因为我说我看见你在无花果树下,才信仰我的吗? 51 你将会看到比这更伟大的事情,”耶稣接着对他说,“我实话告诉你们,你们将看到天堂开启,看到上帝的天使在人子身上上下往来。”

The Word Became Flesh

(A)In the beginning was (B)the Word, and (C)the Word was with God, and (D)the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. (E)All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (F)In him was life,[a] and (G)the life was the light of men. (H)The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

There was a man (I)sent from God, whose name was (J)John. He came as a (K)witness, to bear witness about the light, (L)that all might believe through him. (M)He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

(N)The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet (O)the world did not know him. 11 He came to (P)his own,[b] and (Q)his own people[c] (R)did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, (S)who believed in his name, (T)he gave the right (U)to become (V)children of God, 13 who (W)were born, (X)not of blood (Y)nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And (Z)the Word (AA)became flesh and (AB)dwelt among us, (AC)and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[d] from the Father, full of (AD)grace and (AE)truth. 15 ((AF)John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, (AG)‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from (AH)his fullness we have all received, (AI)grace upon grace.[e] 17 For (AJ)the law was given through Moses; (AK)grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 (AL)No one has ever seen God; (AM)God the only Son, who[f] is at the Father's side,[g] (AN)he has made him known.

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19 And this is the (AO)testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, (AP)“Who are you?” 20 (AQ)He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? (AR)Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you (AS)the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am (AT)the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight[h] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, (AU)“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, (AV)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even (AW)he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Behold, the Lamb of God

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, (AX)the Lamb of God, who (AY)takes away the sin (AZ)of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, (BA)‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but (BB)for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John (BC)bore witness: (BD)“I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and (BE)it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but (BF)he who sent me to baptize (BG)with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, (BH)this is he who baptizes (BI)with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son[i] of God.”

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, (BJ)the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, (BK)“What are you seeking?” And they said to him, (BL)“Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.[j] 40 (BM)One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus[k] was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found (BN)the Messiah” (which means Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of (BO)John. You shall be called (BP)Cephas” (which means (BQ)Peter[l]).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

43 (BR)The next day Jesus decided (BS)to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now (BT)Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found (BU)Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom (BV)Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus (BW)of Nazareth, (BX)the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, (BY)“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, (BZ)an Israelite indeed, (CA)in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How (CB)do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered him, (CC)“Rabbi, (CD)you are the Son of God! You are the (CE)King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,[m] you will see (CF)heaven opened, and (CG)the angels of God ascending and descending on (CH)the Son of Man.”
