John 1
New American Standard Bible

1 (A)In the beginning was (B)the Word, and the Word was (C)with God, and (D)the Word was God. 2 [a]He was in the beginning with God. 3 (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. 4 (F)In Him was life, and the life was (G)the Light of mankind. 5 And (H)the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [c]grasp it.

The Witness John the Baptist

6 A man [d]came, one sent from God, and his name was (I)John. 7 [e]He came [f](J)as a witness, to testify about the Light, (K)so that all might believe through him. 8 [g](L)He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

9 [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.”

約翰福音 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

神成為人

1 太初有道，
道與神同在，
道就是神。
2 這道太初與神同在。
3 萬有是藉著他而成的；
凡所成的，
沒有一樣不是藉著他而成的。
4 生命在他裡面，
這生命就是人的光。
5 這光在黑暗中照耀，
黑暗卻沒有勝過[a]這光。

6 有一個人受神的差派而來，
他名叫約翰。
7 他為見證而來，
是要為這光做見證，
好讓人都藉著他相信。
8 他不是這光，
而是要為這光做見證。
9 這光是真光，
來到這世界照亮每個人。

10 他在這世界，
世界也是藉著他而成的，
世界卻不認識他。
11 他來到自己的地方，
自己的人卻不接受他。
12 但是所有接受他的，
就是信他名的人，
他就賜給他們權柄成為神的兒女。
13 他們不是由血緣、
或肉體的意願、
或人的意志所生的，
而是由神所生的。

14 道成了肉身，
居住在我們中間。
我們看到了他的榮耀，
正是從父而來的獨生子的榮耀，
充滿了恩典和真理。
15 約翰為他做見證，呼喊說：
「這一位就是我曾說過的，
『那在我之後來的，已成為在我前面的，
因為他在我之前就已經存在。』」
16 原來從他的豐盛完美中，
我們都領受了恩典，而且恩上加恩。
17 因為律法是藉著摩西賜下的，
恩典和真理是藉著耶穌基督而來的。
18 從來沒有人看見神，
只有在父懷裡的那位獨生子——神，
他將神表明了出來。

施洗約翰的見證

19 以下是約翰的見證。那時候，耶路撒冷的那些猶太人派了一些祭司和利未人到約翰那裡去問他：「你是誰？」

20 他就承認，並毫不否認地告白：「我不是基督。」

21 他們又問：「那麼你是誰呢？是以利亞嗎？」

他說：「我不是。」

「是那位先知[b]嗎？」

他回答：「不是。」

22 於是他們問：「你到底是誰？好讓我們給那些派我們來的人一個答覆。你自己說，你是什麼人？」

23 約翰說：「正如先知以賽亞所說的，我就是在曠野裡呼喊的聲音：『你們當修直[c]主的道[d]。』[e]」

24 那些被派來的人屬於法利賽人， 25 他們又問約翰：「你既不是基督，又不是以利亞，也不是那位先知，那麼，你為什麼施洗呢？」

26 約翰回答說：「我用水[f]施洗，但有一位站在你們中間，是你們不認識的， 27 他是那在我之後來的，[g]我就是為他解鞋帶也不配。」

28 這些事發生在約旦河對岸的伯大尼[h]，就是約翰施洗的地方。

神的羔羊

29 第二天，約翰看見耶穌向他走來，就說：「看哪，神的羔羊，除去世人罪孽的！ 30 這一位就是我所說的『那在我之後來的人，已成為在我前面的，因為在我之前他就存在了。』 31 我以前也不認識他，但為了讓他向以色列顯明，所以我來用水施洗。」

32 約翰又見證說：「我看到聖靈好像鴿子從天上降臨，停留在他身上。 33 我以前也不認識他，可是那派我用水施洗的對我說：『如果你看見聖靈降臨在誰身上，又停留在誰身上，誰就是用聖靈施洗的那一位。』 34 我看到了，就見證：這一位就是神的兒子[i]。」

35 過了一天，約翰和他的兩個門徒又站在那裡。 36 約翰看著耶穌走過，就說：「看哪，神的羔羊！」

37 那兩個門徒聽他說話，就跟從了耶穌。 38 耶穌轉過身來，看到他們跟著走，就問：「你們尋找什麼呢？」

他們對耶穌說：「拉比，你住在哪裡呢？」——「拉比」翻譯出來意思是「老師」。

39 耶穌說：「你們來看吧！」他們去了，看見耶穌住的地方，那天就住在他那裡。那時大約是下午四點[j]。

40 聽見了約翰的話而跟從耶穌的兩個人中，有一個是西門彼得的弟弟安得烈。 41 安得烈先去找自己的哥哥[k]西門，對他說：「我們找到了彌賽亞。」——「彌賽亞」翻譯出來就是「基督」。 42 他就帶西門到耶穌那裡。

耶穌注視著他，說：「你是約翰[l]的兒子西門，你將被稱為磯法。」——「磯法」翻譯出來就是「彼得[m]」。

腓力與拿旦業

43 又過了一天，耶穌決定前往加利利地區。他找到腓力，對他說：「你跟從我！」

44 腓力來自伯賽達，與安得烈和彼得同鄉。 45 腓力找到拿旦業[n]，對他說：「我們發現了摩西在律法上所寫的，和先知們所記的那一位。他就是約瑟的兒子，拿撒勒人耶穌。」

46 拿旦業對他說：「拿撒勒還能出什麼好的嗎？」

腓力說：「你來看吧！」

47 耶穌看見拿旦業向他走來，就指著他說：「看，一個真正的以色列人！他裡面沒有詭詐。」

48 拿旦業對耶穌說：「你怎麼知道我呢？」

耶穌回答說：「腓力叫你以前，你還在無花果樹下，我就看見你了。」

49 拿旦業說：「拉比，你是神的兒子，你是以色列的王！」

50 耶穌對他說：「因為我說『我看見你在無花果樹下』，你就信嗎？你將會看到比這更大的事。」 51 耶穌又對他說：「我確確實實地告訴你們：你們將會看見天敞開了，神的天使們在人子上頭，上去下來。」
