使徒行传 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
吩咐門徒等候聖靈
1 提阿非羅先生:我已經寫了前書,敘述耶穌開始所行所教的一切, 2 一直到他藉著聖靈吩咐所揀選的使徒之後,被接上升的日子為止。 3 他受難以後,用許多憑據向使徒顯示自己是活著的。他向使徒顯現,並且講論 神的國的事,有四十天之久。 4 耶穌和他們一同吃飯的時候,吩咐他們不要離開耶路撒冷,說:“你們要等候父的應許,就是你們聽我講過的, 5 約翰是用水施洗,但再過幾天,你們要受聖靈的洗。”
耶穌升天
6 他們聚集的時候,問耶穌說:“主啊,你要在這時候使以色列復國嗎?” 7 耶穌說:“父憑著自己的權柄所定的時間或日期,你們不必知道。 8 可是聖靈降臨在你們身上,你們就必領受能力,並且要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地、撒瑪利亞,直到地極,作我的見證人。” 9 說完了這話,他們還在看的時候,他被接上升,有一朵雲把他接去,就看不見他了。 10 當他往上升,他們定睛望天的時候,忽然有兩個人,身穿白衣,站在他們旁邊, 11 說:“加利利人哪,為甚麼站著望天呢?這位被接升天離開你們的耶穌,你們看見他怎樣往天上去,他也要怎樣回來。”
選出馬提亞作使徒
12 後來,他們從橄欖山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷,有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他們進了城,上了一間樓房,就是彼得、約翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多馬、巴多羅邁、馬太、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、激進派的西門、雅各的兒子猶大等人所住的。 14 這些人和幾個婦女,耶穌的母親馬利亞,還有他的兄弟們,都在一起,同心地恆切禱告。
15 那時,約有一百二十人聚會,彼得在眾弟兄中間站起來說: 16 “弟兄們,經上的話,就是聖靈藉著大衛的口,預言那領人捉拿耶穌的猶大的事,是一定會應驗的。 17 他本是我們中間的一個,一同領受了這職分。 18 他用不義的酬勞買了一塊田,結果倒頭栽了下去,腹破腸流。 19 這事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道,所以按當地的話,那塊地稱為亞革大馬,意思就是‘血田’。 20 因為詩篇上寫著:
‘願他的住處變為荒場,
無人居在其中。’
又說:
‘願別人取代他的職分。’
21-22 所以,從約翰施洗起,直到主離開我們被接上升的那天為止,當他在我們中間來往的時候,那些跟我們常在一起的人中,應該有一個人出來與我們一同作耶穌復活的見證人。” 23 於是他們提出兩個人:約瑟(號稱巴撒巴,又名猶士都)和馬提亞, 24 就禱告說:“主啊!你知道萬人的心,求你從這兩個人中,指明你要揀選誰, 25 來承擔這使徒的職位和工作。這職位猶大已經放棄,往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就為他們抽籤,結果抽中了馬提亞,他就與十一使徒同列。

應許聖靈降臨
1 提阿非羅啊,在前一封信中,我從耶穌的生平和教導開始, 2 一直談到祂藉著聖靈吩咐了自己選立的使徒,然後被接回天上。 3 祂受難後用許多確鑿的證據證實自己活著,在四十天之內屢次向使徒顯現,與他們談論上帝的國。 4 有一次,耶穌和他們在一起吃飯的時候,叮囑他們:「你們不要離開耶路撒冷,要在那裡等候我對你們說過的天父的應許。 5 因為從前約翰用水給你們施洗,但再過幾天,你們要受聖靈的洗。」
6 他們跟耶穌在一起的時候問祂:「主啊,你要在這時候復興以色列國嗎?」 7 耶穌回答說:「天父照祂的權柄定下的時間、日期不是你們可以知道的。 8 但聖靈降臨在你們身上後,你們必得到能力,在耶路撒冷、猶太全境和撒瑪利亞,直到地極,作我的見證人。」
9 耶穌說完這番話,就在他們眼前被提升天,被一朵雲彩接去,離開了他們的視線。 10 祂上升時,他們都定睛望著天空,忽然有兩個身穿白衣的人站在他們身旁, 11 說:「加利利人啊!你們為什麼站在這裡望著天空呢?這位離開你們被接到天上的耶穌,你們看見祂怎樣升天,將來祂還要怎樣回來。」
選立新使徒
12 於是,他們從橄欖山回到耶路撒冷。橄欖山距離耶路撒冷不遠,約是安息日允許走的路程[a]。 13 他們進城後,來到樓上自己住的房間。當時有彼得、約翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多馬、巴多羅買、馬太、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、激進黨人西門、雅各的兒子猶大。 14 他們和耶穌的母親瑪麗亞、耶穌的弟弟們及幾個婦女在一起同心合意地恆切禱告。
15 那時,約有一百二十人在聚會,彼得站起來說: 16 「弟兄們,關於帶人抓耶穌的猶大,聖靈藉著大衛的口早已預言,這經文必須要應驗。 17 這人原本是我們中間的一員,與我們同擔使徒的職分。」
18 猶大用作惡得來的錢買了一塊田,他頭朝下栽倒在那裡,肚破腸流。 19 這消息很快傳遍了耶路撒冷,當地人稱那塊田為「亞革大馬」,就是「血田」的意思。
20 彼得繼續說:「詩篇上寫道,『願他的家園一片荒涼,無人居住』,又說,『願別人取代他的職位。』 21-22 所以,我們必須另選一個人代替猶大,與我們一同為主耶穌的復活做見證。他必須是從主耶穌接受約翰的洗禮起一直到主升天,始終與我們在一起的人。」
23 被提名的有別號巴撒巴又叫猶士都的約瑟和馬提亞兩個人。 24-25 大家便禱告說:「主啊!你洞悉人的內心,求你指明這兩個人中你要揀選哪一個來擔負使徒的職分。猶大丟棄了這職分,去了他該去的地方。」 26 然後,他們抽籤,抽中了馬提亞,就把他列入十一使徒中。

Acts 1
New International Version
Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven
1 In my former book,(A) Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach(B) 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,(C) after giving instructions(D) through the Holy Spirit to the apostles(E) he had chosen.(F) 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them(G) over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.(H) 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait(I) for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.(J) 5 For John baptized with[a] water,(K) but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”(L)
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore(M) the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.(N) 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;(O) and you will be my witnesses(P) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,(Q) and to the ends of the earth.”(R)
9 After he said this, he was taken up(S) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white(T) stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”(U) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(V) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(W) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(Y) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(Z) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(AA) along with the women(AB) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(AC)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters,[d](AD) the Scripture had to be fulfilled(AE) in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas,(AF) who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number(AG) and shared in our ministry.”(AH)
18 (With the payment(AI) he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;(AJ) there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language(AK) Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(AN) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(AO) with us of his resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(AP) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(AQ) Show us(AR) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(AS)

This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(V) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(W) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(Y) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(Z) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(AA) along with the women(AB) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(AC)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters,[d](AD) the Scripture had to be fulfilled(AE) in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas,(AF) who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number(AG) and shared in our ministry.”(AH)
18 (With the payment(AI) he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;(AJ) there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language(AK) Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(AN) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(AO) with us of his resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(AP) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(AQ) Show us(AR) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(AS)
