约翰福音 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
道成肉身
1 太初有道,道與 神同在,道就是 神。 2 這道太初與 神同在。 3 萬有是藉著他造的;凡被造的,沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。 4 在他裡面有生命,(有些抄本第3、4節或譯:“萬有是藉著他造的,沒有一樣不是藉著他造的;凡被造的,都在他裡面有生命……”)這生命就是人的光。 5 光照在黑暗中,黑暗不能勝過光。
6 有一個人,名叫約翰,是 神所差來的。 7 他來是要作見證,就是為光作見證,使眾人藉著他可以相信。 8 他不是那光,而是要為那光作見證。 9 那光來到世界,是普照世人的真光。 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,自己的人卻不接受他。 12 凡接受他的,就是信他名的人,他就賜給他們權利,成為 神的兒女。 13 他們不是從血統生的,不是從肉身的意思生的,也不是從人意生的,而是從 神生的。
14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,滿有恩典和真理。我們見過他的榮光,正是從父而來的獨生子的榮光。
15 約翰為他作見證,大聲說:“這一位就是我所說的:‘那在我以後來的,位分比我高,因為他本來是在我以前的。’” 16 從他的豐盛裡我們都領受了,而且恩上加恩。 17 律法是藉著摩西頒布的,恩典和真理卻是藉著耶穌基督而來的。 18 從來沒有人見過 神,只有在父懷裡的獨生子把他彰顯出來。
施洗約翰的見證(A)
19 以下是約翰的見證:猶太人從耶路撒冷派祭司和利未人到約翰那裡,問他:“你是誰?” 20 約翰並不否認,坦白地承認說:“我不是基督。” 21 他們又問:“那麼你是誰?是以利亞嗎?”他說:“我不是。”“是那位先知嗎?”他回答:“不是。” 22 於是他們再問:“你是誰?好讓我們回覆派我們來的人。你說你自己是誰?” 23 他說:“我就是在曠野呼喊者的聲音:‘修直主的路!’正如以賽亞先知所說的。” 24 這些人是法利賽人派來的。 25 他們問約翰:“你既然不是基督,不是以利亞,也不是那位先知,那麼你為甚麼施洗呢?” 26 約翰回答:“我是用水施洗,但有一位站在你們中間,是你們不認識的; 27 他是在我以後來的,我就是給他解鞋帶也不配。” 28 這些事發生在約旦河東的伯大尼,約翰施洗的地方。
神的羊羔
29 第二天,約翰見耶穌迎面而來,就說:“看哪, 神的羊羔,是除去世人的罪孽的! 30 這一位就是我所說的:‘有一個人,是在我以後來的,位分比我高,因為他本來是在我以前的。’ 31 我本來不認識他,但為了要把他顯明給以色列人,因此我來用水施洗。” 32 約翰又作見證說:“我曾看見聖靈,好像鴿子從天上降下來,停留在他的身上。 33 我本來不認識他,但那差我來用水施洗的對我說:‘你看見聖靈降下來,停留在誰身上,誰就是用聖靈施洗的。’ 34 我看見了,就作見證說:‘這就是 神的兒子。’”
呼召第一批門徒(B)
35 過了一天,約翰和他的兩個門徒又站在那裡。 36 約翰看見耶穌走過的時候,就說:“看哪, 神的羊羔!” 37 那兩個門徒聽見他的話,就跟從了耶穌。 38 耶穌轉過身來,看見他們跟著,就問:“你們要甚麼?”他們說:“拉比,你在哪裡住?”(“拉比”的意思就是“老師”。) 39 他說:“你們來看吧!”於是他們就去看他所住的地方。那一天他們就和耶穌住在一起;那時大約是下午四點鐘。 40 聽了約翰的話而跟從耶穌的那兩個人,一個是西門.彼得的弟弟安得烈。 41 他先找到自己的哥哥西門,告訴他:“我們遇見彌賽亞了!”(“彌賽亞”的意思就是“基督”。) 42 安得烈就帶他到耶穌那裡。耶穌定睛看著他,說:“你是約翰的兒子西門,你要稱為磯法。”(“磯法”翻譯出來就是“彼得”。)
呼召腓力和拿但業
43 再過一天,耶穌決定往加利利去;他遇見腓力,就對他說:“來跟從我!” 44 腓力是伯賽大人,與安得烈和彼得同鄉。 45 腓力找到拿但業,告訴他:“摩西在律法書上所寫的,和眾先知所記的那位,我們已經遇見了,他就是約瑟的兒子拿撒勒人耶穌。” 46 拿但業說:“拿撒勒還能出甚麼好的嗎?”腓力說:“你來看!” 47 耶穌看見拿但業向他走過來,就論到他說:“看哪,這的確是個以色列人,他心裡沒有詭詐。” 48 拿但業問他:“你怎麼認識我呢?”耶穌回答:“腓力還沒有招呼你,你在無花果樹下的時候,我就看見你了。” 49 拿但業說:“拉比,你是 神的兒子,你是以色列的王!” 50 耶穌說:“因為我告訴你‘我看見你在無花果樹下’,你就信了嗎?你還要看見比這些更大的事。” 51 又對他說:“我實實在在告訴你們,你們要看見天開了, 神的眾使者在人子的身上,上去下來。”
John 1
American Standard Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him; and without him [a]was not anything made that hath been made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness [b]apprehended it not. 6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light. 9 [c]There was the true light, even the light which lighteth [d]every man, coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto [e]his own, and they that were his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 who were [f]born, not of [g]blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and [h]dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of [i]the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. 15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, [j]This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was [k]before me. 16 For of his fulness we all received, and [l]grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; [m]the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ. 21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. 22 They said therefore 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 [n]said Isaiah the prophet. 24 [o]And they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize [p]in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not, 27 even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose. 28 These things were done in [q]Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that [r]taketh away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was [s]before me. 31 And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing [t]in water. 32 And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize [u]in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth [v]in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou? 39 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, [w]Christ). 42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of [x]John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, [y]Peter).
43 On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me. 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel. 50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
