全新四年樂活讀經
經文: 約一1-4；14
1:1-4 太初有道，道與 神同在，道就是 神。這道太初與 神同在。萬物是藉著他造的；凡被造的，沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。生命在他�頭，這生命就是人的光。1:14 道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光，正是父獨生子的榮光。
默想: 「道」是從起初就存在，並且與上帝同在。上帝是藉著「道」來創造宇宙萬物。這「道」，就是一切生命的源頭。
上帝使這「道」成了肉身，就在我們中間，不像「諾斯底主義」(Gnosticism)所說，靈魂是潔淨的，肉體是邪惡的。上帝是全然聖潔的，「道」也是全是聖潔的。當「道」可以成為肉身，就表明了，「肉體」不是邪惡的。上帝所造的這個世界，不是「靈魂」與「物質」的對立。我們也不是單單追求靈魂的得救，而完全否定「肉體」。我們都是上帝所造的，我們的靈魂與肉體，在上帝的眼中都是「好的」。但是重要的是，我們是有罪的，藉著認識這「道」，我們就可以得著生命的光。恢復與上帝的關係。聖經告訴我們說「凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就賜他們權柄，做上帝的兒女」(12)我們的生命，正是因為領受了這「道」豐豐富富的恩典，而恩上加恩。
題目: 你從本章經文內容，對 “道” 有何種認識？
1:1 太初有道，道與 神同在，道就是 神。
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 這道太初與 神同在。
He was in the beginning with God;
1:3 萬物是藉著他造的；凡被造的，沒有一樣不是藉著他造的。
all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
1:4 生命在他裡頭，這生命就是人的光。
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 光照在黑暗裡，黑暗卻不接受光。
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
1:6 有一個人，是從 神那裡差來的，名叫約翰。
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 這人來，為要作見證，就是為光作見證，叫眾人因他可以信。
He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.
1:8 他不是那光，乃是要為光作見證。
He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light.
1:9 那光是真光，照亮一切生在世上的人。
The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.
1:10 他在世界，世界也是藉著他造的，世界卻不認識他。
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.
1:11 他到自己的地方來，自己的人倒不接待他。
He came to his own home, and his own people received him not.
1:12 凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就賜他們權柄作 神的兒女。
But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
1:13 這等人不是從血氣生的，不是從情慾生的，也不是從人意生的，乃是從 神生的。
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
1:14 道成了肉身，住在我們中間，充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光，正是父獨生子的榮光。
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
1:15 約翰為他作見證，喊著說：「這就是我曾說：『那在我以後來的，反成了在我以前的，因他本來在我以前。』」
(John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'")
1:16 從他豐滿的恩典裡，我們都領受了，而且恩上加恩。
And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.
1:17 律法本是藉著摩西傳的；恩典和真理都是由耶穌基督來的。
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
1:18 從來沒有人看見 神，只有在父懷裡的獨生子將他表明出來。
No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
1:19 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？」
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
1:20 他就明說，並不隱瞞，明說：「我不是基督。」
He confessed, he did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ."
1:21 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。」
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."
1:22 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？」
They said to him then, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
1:23 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。」
He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said."
1:24 那些人是法利賽人差來的（或譯：那差來的是法利賽人）；
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.
1:25 他們就問他說：「你既不是基督，不是以利亞，也不是那先知，為甚麼施洗呢？」
They asked him, "Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"
1:26 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，
John answered them, "I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know,
1:27 就是那在我以後來的，我給他解鞋帶也不配。」
even he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."
1:28 這是在約旦河外伯大尼（有古卷：伯大巴喇），約翰施洗的地方作的見證。
This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
1:29 次日，約翰看見耶穌來到他那裡，就說：「看哪， 神的羔羊，除去（或譯：背負）世人罪孽的！
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
1:30 這就是我曾說：『有一位在我以後來、反成了在我以前的，因他本來在我以前。』
This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'
1:31 我先前不認識他，如今我來用水施洗，為要叫他顯明給以色列人。」
I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."
1:32 約翰又作見證說：「我曾看見聖靈，彷彿鴿子從天降下，住在他的身上。
And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.
1:33 我先前不認識他，只是那差我來用水施洗的、對我說：『你看見聖靈降下來，住在誰的身上，誰就是用聖靈施洗的。』
I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
1:34 我看見了，就證明這是 神的兒子。」
And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."
1:35 再次日，約翰同兩個門徒站在那裡。
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;
1:36 他見耶穌行走，就說：「看哪，這是 神的羔羊！」
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"
1:37 兩個門徒聽見他的話，就跟從了耶穌。
The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
1:38 耶穌轉過身來，看見他們跟著，就問他們說：「你們要甚麼？」他們說：「拉比，在哪裡住？」（拉比翻出來就是夫子。）
Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
1:39 耶穌說：「你們來看。」他們就去看他在哪裡住，這一天便與他同住；那時約有申正了。
He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
1:40 聽見約翰的話跟從耶穌的那兩個人，一個是西門•彼得的兄弟安得烈。
One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
1:41 他先找著自己的哥哥西門，對他說：「我們遇見彌賽亞了。」（彌賽亞翻出來就是基督。）
He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ).
1:42 於是領他去見耶穌。耶穌看見他，說：「你是約翰的兒子西門（約翰在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿），你要稱為磯法。」（磯法翻出來就是彼得。）
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).
1:43 又次日，耶穌想要往加利利去，遇見腓力，就對他說：「來跟從我吧。」
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
1:44 這腓力是伯賽大人，和安得烈、彼得同城。
Now Philip was from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
1:45 腓力找著拿但業，對他說：「摩西在律法上所寫的和眾先知所記的那一位，我們遇見了，就是約瑟的兒子拿撒勒人耶穌。」
Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
1:46 拿但業對他說：「拿撒勒還能出甚麼好的嗎？」腓力說：「你來看！」
Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
1:47 耶穌看見拿但業來，就指著他說：「看哪，這是個真以色列人，他心裡是沒有詭詐的。」
Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
1:48 拿但業對耶穌說：「你從哪裡知道我呢？」耶穌回答說：「腓力還沒有招呼你，你在無花果樹底下，我就看見你了。」
Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
1:49 拿但業說：「拉比，你是 神的兒子，你是以色列的王！」
Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
1:50 耶穌對他說：「因為我說『在無花果樹底下看見你』，你就信嗎？你將要看見比這更大的事」；
Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these."
1:51 又說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，你們將要看見天開了， 神的使者上去下來在人子身上。」
And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
