For a man who has been so prominent in Christian thinking throughout the centuries John is a strangely shadowy figure.对于谁一直在基督教思想,突出整个世纪的人,约翰是一个奇怪的人影。In the Gospels and Acts he is almost invariably accompanied by someone else and the other person is the spokesman (there is an exception when John tells Jesus that he forbade a man to cast out demons; Luke 9:49).福音和行为,他几乎总是伴随着别人和其他人是发言人(有一个例外,当约翰告诉耶稣,他禁止一个人赶鬼;路加福音10点差11分)。 He is often linked with Peter and with his brother James, and these three were specially close to Jesus (Matt. 17:1; Mark 14:33; Luke 8:51).他经常与彼得和他的兄弟詹姆斯,和这三个特别接近耶稣(马太福音17:1,马可福音14:33;路加福音8:51)。 He and James were called "sons of thunder" (Boanerges; Mark 3:17), which perhaps points to the kind of character revealed in their desire to call down fire from heaven on people who refused to receive Jesus (Luke 9:54).他和詹姆斯被称为“儿子的雷声”(Boanerges;马可福音3:17),这也许是一种性格,在他们的愿望呼叫从天上降下来的人拒绝接受耶稣(路加福音9时54分)消防透露。
We learn more from the writings linked with his name.我们从与他的名字联系在一起的著作。The Fourth Gospel as it stands is anonymous, but there is good reason for thinking that John wrote it and that he was the beloved disciple who leaned on Jesus' breast at the Last Supper (John 13:23) and to whom the dying Jesus commended his mother (John 19:26-27).第四福音,因为它是匿名的,但有很好的理由认为,约翰写,他是耶稣的乳房斜靠在最后的晚餐“(约翰福音13:23),其中垂死的耶稣赞扬爱徒他的母亲(约翰福音19:26-27)。 The impression we get is that John had entered into the mind of Jesus more than any of the other disciples had.我们得到的印象是,约翰已经进入到耶稣的心比任何其他弟子。

The Father is constantly active (John 5:17); he upholds his creation and brings blessing on those he has made.父亲是不断活跃(约翰福音5:17),他坚持他的创作,并带来他提出的祝福。He is a great God whose will is done, particularly in election and salvation.他是一个伟大的神的意愿得以实现的,特别是在选举和拯救,。"No one can come to me," said Jesus, "unless the Father who sent me draws him" (John 6:44); and again, "You did not choose me, but I chose you" (John 15:16; cf. 8:47; 18:37). “没有人能到我这里来,”耶稣说,“除非父亲是谁送我提请他”(约翰6时44分);再次,“你没有选择我,但我选择了你”(约翰福音15:16;比照8:47; 18:37)。
The book of Revelation was written by John (Rev. 1:1-3), though which John is not specified.本书是写启示录的约翰(启示录1:1-3),虽然约翰没有指定。But there is good reason for seeing it as coming from John the apostle and as stressing an important aspect of Johannine thought, namely that of divine sovereignty.看到来自使徒约翰强调约翰思想的一个重要方面,即神的主权,但有很好的理由。It is easy to get lost in a strange world of seals, trumpets, bowls, and animals with unusual numbers of heads and horns.这是很容易在一个陌生的世界海豹,小号,碗,和不寻常的头和角的动物失去了。But this is not the important thing.但这并不是最重要的事情。Throughout this book God is a mighty God.在这本书中,上帝是全能的神。He does what he wills and, though wickedness is strong, in the end he will triumph over every evil thing.他做他的遗嘱,虽然邪恶强,最终他将战胜一切邪恶的东西。There is a great deal about the wrath of God in Revelation (and something about it in the Gospel), which brings out the truth that God is implacably opposed to evil and will in the end overthrow it entirely.关于启示录神之怒(和一些福音),带出implacably反对上帝是真理,邪恶,最终会完全推翻它有一个很大。
The Spirit is active in leading Christians in the way of truth (John 16:13), and John has a good deal to tell us about the Christian life.精神是积极领导基督徒在真理(约翰福音16:13)的方式,和约翰告诉我们基督徒的生活有一个很好的协议。He speaks of "eternal life," which seems to mean life proper to the age to come, life of the highest quality (cf. John 10:10).他谈到了“永生”,这似乎意味着生活适当的年龄来,最高质量的生活(参见约翰福音10:10)。Entrance into life is by believing, and John uses this verb 98 times (though never the noun "faith").走进生活的入口是由相信,和约翰使用这个动词98倍(虽然从未名词“信仰”)。Believers are to be characterized by love (John 13:34-35).信徒要爱(约翰福音13:34-35)的特点。They owe all they have to the love of God, and it is proper that they respond to that love with an answering love, a love for God that spills over into a love for other people.他们欠他们有上帝的爱,这是正确的,他们响应,爱与应答的爱,对神的爱,渗透到其他人的热爱。This receives strong emphasis in I John.这收到约翰的高度重视。John emphasizes the importance of light (for believers are people who "walk in the light"; I John 1:7) and of truth.约翰强调光的重要性(信徒是谁“在光明中行”的人;,约翰一书1:7)和真理。Jesus is the truth (John 14:6) and the Spirit is the Spirit of truth (John 14:17).耶稣是真理(约翰福音14:6)圣灵就是真理的圣灵(约翰福音14:17)。To know the truth is to be free (John 8:31-32).要知道事情的真相是可以自由(约翰福音8:31-32)。
John's is a profound and deep theology, though expressed in the simplest of terms.约翰是深刻和深厚的神学,但在最简单的条款表示。It sets forth truths which no Christian can neglect.它载列真理,没有基督教可以忽略。
