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。”

(A)In the beginning was (B)the Word, and the Word was (C)with God, and (D)the Word was God. [a]He was in the beginning with God. (E)All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him [b]not even one thing came into being that has come into being. (F)In Him was life, and the life was (G)the Light of mankind. And (H)the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [c]grasp it.

The Witness John the Baptist

A man [d]came, one sent from God, and his name was (I)John. [e]He came [f](J)as a witness, to testify about the Light, (K)so that all might believe through him. [g](L)He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

[h]This was (M)the true Light [i]that, coming into the world, enlightens every person. 10 He was in the world, and (N)the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not [j]know Him. 11 He came to His [k]own, and His own people did not [l]accept Him. 12 But [m]as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become (O)children of God, (P)to those who [n]believe in His name, 13 (Q)who were [o]born, not of [p]blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of a man, but of God.

The Word Made Flesh

14 And (R)the Word (S)became flesh, and (T)dwelt among us; and (U)we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of (V)grace and (W)truth. 15 John *(X)testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘(Y)He who is coming after me has proved to be [q]my superior, (Z)because He existed before me.’” 16 For of His (AA)fullness [r]we have all received, and [s]grace upon grace. 17 For (AB)the Law was given through Moses; (AC)grace and (AD)truth [t]were realized through Jesus Christ. 18 (AE)No one has seen God at any time; (AF)God the only Son, who is (AG)in the [u]arms of the Father, (AH)He has [v]explained Him.

The Testimony of John the Baptist

19 This is (AI)the testimony of John, when (AJ)the Jews sent priests and Levites to him (AK)from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny; and this is what he confessed: “(AL)I am not the [w]Christ.” 21 And so they asked him, “What then? Are you (AM)Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you (AN)the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am (AO)the voice of one calling [x]out in the wilderness, ‘Make the way of the Lord straight,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

24 And the messengers had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the [y]Christ, nor Elijah, nor (AP)the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, saying, “(AQ)I baptize [z]in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 It is (AR)He who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy even to untie the (AS)strap of His sandal.” 28 These things took place in Bethany (AT)beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing people.

29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, (AU)the Lamb of God who (AV)takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘(AW)After me is coming a Man who has proved to be [aa]my superior, (AX)because He existed before me.’ 31 And I did not recognize [ab]Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing [ac]in water.” 32 And John (AY)testified, saying, “(AZ)I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 And I did not recognize [ad]Him, but He who sent me to baptize [ae]in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, (BA)this is the One who baptizes [af]in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is (BB)the [ag]Son of God.”

Jesus’ Public Ministry; First Converts

35 Again (BC)the next day John was standing [ah]with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, “Behold, (BD)the Lamb of God!” 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to Him, “(BE)Rabbi (which translated 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; it was about the [ai]tenth hour. 40 (BF)One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, “We have found the (BG)Messiah” (which translated means [aj]Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of [ak](BH)John; you shall be called (BI)Cephas” (which is translated [al](BJ)Peter).

43 (BK)The next day He [am]decided to go to (BL)Galilee, and He *found (BM)Philip. And Jesus *said to him, (BN)Follow Me.” 44 Now (BO)Philip was from (BP)Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 (BQ)Philip *found (BR)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom (BS)Moses wrote in the Law, and (BT)the prophets also wrote: Jesus (BU)the son of Joseph, from (BV)Nazareth!” 46 Nathanael said to him, “(BW)Can anything good be from Nazareth?” (BX)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said of him, “Here is truly an (BY)Israelite, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before (BZ)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered Him, “(CA)Rabbi, You are (CB)the Son of God; You are the (CC)King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that 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, you will see (CD)heaven opened and (CE)the angels of God ascending and descending on (CF)the Son of Man.”

神成为人

太初有道,
道与神同在,
道就是神。
这道太初与神同在。
万有是藉着他而成的;
凡所成的,
没有一样不是藉着他而成的。
生命在他里面,
这生命就是人的光。
这光在黑暗中照耀,
黑暗却没有胜过[a]这光。

有一个人受神的差派而来,
他名叫约翰
他为见证而来,
是要为这光做见证,
好让人都藉着他相信。
他不是这光,
而是要为这光做见证。
这光是真光,
来到这世界照亮每个人。

10 他在这世界,
世界也是藉着他而成的,
世界却不认识他。
11 他来到自己的地方,
自己的人却不接受他。
12 但是所有接受他的,
就是信他名的人,
他就赐给他们权柄成为神的儿女。
13 他们不是由血缘、
或肉体的意愿、
或人的意志所生的,
而是由神所生的。

14 道成了肉身,
居住在我们中间。
我们看到了他的荣耀,
正是从父而来的独生子的荣耀,
充满了恩典和真理。
15 约翰为他做见证,呼喊说:
“这一位就是我曾说过的,
‘那在我之后来的,已成为在我前面的,
因为他在我之前就已经存在。’”
16 原来从他的丰盛完美中,
我们都领受了恩典,而且恩上加恩。
17 因为律法是藉着摩西赐下的,
恩典和真理是藉着耶稣基督而来的。
18 从来没有人看见神,
只有在父怀里的那位独生子——神,
他将神表明了出来。

施洗约翰的见证

19 以下是约翰的见证。那时候,耶路撒冷的那些犹太人派了一些祭司和利未人到约翰那里去问他:“你是谁?”

20 他就承认,并毫不否认地告白:“我不是基督。”

21 他们又问:“那么你是谁呢?是以利亚吗?”

他说:“我不是。”

“是那位先知[b]吗?”

他回答:“不是。”

22 于是他们问:“你到底是谁?好让我们给那些派我们来的人一个答复。你自己说,你是什么人?”

23 约翰说:“正如先知以赛亚所说的,我就是在旷野里呼喊的声音:‘你们当修直[c]主的道[d]。’[e]

24 那些被派来的人属于法利赛人, 25 他们又问约翰:“你既不是基督,又不是以利亚,也不是那位先知,那么,你为什么施洗呢?”

26 约翰回答说:“我用水[f]施洗,但有一位站在你们中间,是你们不认识的, 27 他是那在我之后来的,[g]我就是为他解鞋带也不配。”

28 这些事发生在约旦河对岸的伯大尼[h],就是约翰施洗的地方。

神的羔羊

29 第二天,约翰看见耶稣向他走来,就说:“看哪,神的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的! 30 这一位就是我所说的‘那在我之后来的人,已成为在我前面的,因为在我之前他就存在了。’ 31 我以前也不认识他,但为了让他向以色列显明,所以我来用水施洗。”

32 约翰又见证说:“我看到圣灵好像鸽子从天上降临,停留在他身上。 33 我以前也不认识他,可是那派我用水施洗的对我说:‘如果你看见圣灵降临在谁身上,又停留在谁身上,谁就是用圣灵施洗的那一位。’ 34 我看到了,就见证:这一位就是神的儿子[i]。”

35 过了一天,约翰和他的两个门徒又站在那里。 36 约翰看着耶稣走过,就说:“看哪,神的羔羊!”

37 那两个门徒听他说话,就跟从了耶稣。 38 耶稣转过身来,看到他们跟着走,就问:“你们寻找什么呢?”

他们对耶稣说:“拉比,你住在哪里呢?”——“拉比”翻译出来意思是“老师”。

39 耶稣说:“你们来看吧!”他们去了,看见耶稣住的地方,那天就住在他那里。那时大约是下午四点[j]

40 听见了约翰的话而跟从耶稣的两个人中,有一个是西门彼得的弟弟安得烈 41 安得烈先去找自己的哥哥[k]西门,对他说:“我们找到了弥赛亚。”——“弥赛亚”翻译出来就是“基督”。 42 他就带西门到耶稣那里。

耶稣注视着他,说:“你是约翰[l]的儿子西门,你将被称为矶法。”——“矶法”翻译出来就是“彼得[m]”。

腓力与拿旦业

43 又过了一天,耶稣决定前往加利利地区。他找到腓力,对他说:“你跟从我!”

44 腓力来自伯赛达,与安得烈彼得同乡。 45 腓力找到拿旦业[n],对他说:“我们发现了摩西在律法上所写的,和先知们所记的那一位。他就是约瑟的儿子,拿撒勒人耶稣。”

46 拿旦业对他说:“拿撒勒还能出什么好的吗?”

腓力说:“你来看吧!”

47 耶稣看见拿旦业向他走来,就指着他说:“看,一个真正的以色列人!他里面没有诡诈。”

48 拿旦业对耶稣说:“你怎么知道我呢?”

耶稣回答说:腓力叫你以前,你还在无花果树下,我就看见你了。”

49 拿旦业说:“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‘我看见你在无花果树下’,你就信吗?你将会看到比这更大的事。” 51 耶稣又对他说:“我确确实实地告诉你们:你们将会看见天敞开了,神的天使们在人子上头,上去下来。”

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)
