Psalm 126
English Standard Version
Restore Our Fortunes, O Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents.
126 When the Lord (B)restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who (C)dream.
2 Then our (D)mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
(E)“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 (F)Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
以賽亞書 61:1-4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
論受膏者之職任
61 「主耶和華的靈在我身上，因為耶和華用膏膏我，叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人[a]，差遣我醫好傷心的人，報告被擄的得釋放、被囚的出監牢， 2 報告耶和華的恩年和我們神報仇的日子，安慰一切悲哀的人， 3 賜華冠於錫安悲哀的人代替灰塵，喜樂油代替悲哀，讚美衣代替憂傷之靈，使他們稱為公義樹，是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。」
信道者必獲顯榮
4 他們必修造已久的荒場，建立先前淒涼之處，重修歷代荒涼之城。

Isaiah 61:1-4
English Standard Version
The Year of the Lord's Favor
61 (A)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has (B)anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;[a]
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and (C)the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b]
2 (D)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
(E)and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
(F)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
(G)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
(H)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, (I)that he may be glorified.[c]
4 (J)They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.

以賽亞書 61:8-11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
8 「因為我耶和華喜愛公平，恨惡搶奪和罪孽。我要憑誠實施行報應，並要與我的百姓立永約。 9 他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識，他們的子孫在眾民中也是如此，凡看見他們的必認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。」
10 「我因耶和華大大歡喜，我的心靠神快樂。因他以拯救為衣給我穿上，以公義為袍給我披上，好像新郎戴上華冠，又像新婦佩戴裝飾。 11 田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。」

Isaiah 61:8-11
English Standard Version
8 (A)For I the Lord love justice;
I hate robbery and wrong;[a]
(B)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
(C)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations,
and their descendants in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.
10 (D)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
(E)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself (F)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
(G)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause (H)righteousness and praise
to sprout up before all the nations.

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
約翰證明自己不是基督
19 約翰所作的見證記在下面。猶太人從耶路撒冷差祭司和利未人到約翰那裡，問他說：「你是誰？」 20 他就明說，並不隱瞞，明說：「我不是基督。」 21 他們又問他說：「這樣，你是誰呢？是以利亞嗎？」他說：「我不是。」「是那先知嗎？」他回答說：「不是。」 22 於是他們說：「你到底是誰？叫我們好回覆差我們來的人。你自己說你是誰？」 23 他說：「我就是那在曠野有人聲喊著說：『修直主的道路』，正如先知以賽亞所說的。」 24 那些人是法利賽人差來的。[a] 25 他們就問他說：「你既不是基督，不是以利亞，也不是那先知，為什麼施洗呢？」 26 約翰回答說：「我是用水施洗，但有一位站在你們中間，是你們不認識的， 27 就是那在我以後來的，我給他解鞋帶也不配。」 28 這是在約旦河外伯大尼[b]，約翰施洗的地方作的見證。

John 1:19-28
English Standard Version
The Testimony of John the Baptist
19 And this is the (A)testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, (B)“Who are you?” 20 (C)He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? (D)Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you (E)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 (F)the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight[a] the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, (G)“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, (H)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even (I)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.
