聖經 (和合本) 新約全書 – 約翰福音 (John) by Chinese Union Version
LibriVox
現在稱為《和合本》的聖經，初稱《官話和合本》，用了清朝的慣用稱呼「官話」，至清末民國時期「官話」逐漸改稱「國語」，故此改名《國語和合本。因著《國語和合本》大為流行，成為教會唯一在用的和合譯本，現今簡稱為《和合本》。 上海在華傳教士大會中決議，翻譯用的原文底本是英國出版的《修訂版聖經》(Revised Version) 所用的原文底本。Revised Version (1885)又稱《英國修訂本》(English Revised Version)，其新約希臘文底本，是當時最新的 Westcott and Hort (1881)。不過，據尤思德博士的研究，《和合本》的譯者在參考Westcott and Hort (1881)之餘，有時卻用回古老的《公認經文》(Textus Receptus) ，即1611年出版的《英王詹姆斯譯本》(King James Version) 的底本。 The Chinese Union Version (CUV) (Chinese: 和合本; pinyin: héhéběn; Wade–Giles: ho2-ho2-pen3; literally: "harmonized/united version") is the predominant translation of the Bible into Chinese used by Chinese Protestants, first published in 1919.

It was written in Classical Chinese rather than Vernacular Chinese. Pu is believed to have completed the majority of the tales sometime in 1679, though he could have added entries as late as 1707. He borrows from a folk tradition of oral storytelling to put to paper a series of captivating, colorful stories, where the boundary between reality and the odd or fantastic is blurred. The cast of characters includes vixen spirits, ghosts, scholars, court officials, Taoist exorcists and beasts. Moral purposes are often inverted between humans and the supposedly degenerate ghosts or spirits, resulting in a satirical edge to some of the stories. Ghosts and spirits are often bold and trustworthy, while humans are on the other hand weak, indecisive and easily manipulated, reflecting the author's own disillusionment with his society. In thi
