使徒行传 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
吩咐门徒等候圣灵
1 提阿非罗先生：我已经写了前书，叙述耶稣开始所行所教的一切， 2 一直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒之后，被接上升的日子为止。 3 他受难以后，用许多凭据向使徒显示自己是活着的。他向使徒显现，并且讲论 神的国的事，有四十天之久。 4 耶稣和他们一同吃饭的时候，吩咐他们不要离开耶路撒冷，说：“你们要等候父的应许，就是你们听我讲过的， 5 约翰是用水施洗，但再过几天，你们要受圣灵的洗。”
耶稣升天
6 他们聚集的时候，问耶稣说：“主啊，你要在这时候使以色列复国吗？” 7 耶稣说：“父凭着自己的权柄所定的时间或日期，你们不必知道。 8 可是圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必领受能力，并且要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证人。” 9 说完了这话，他们还在看的时候，他被接上升，有一朵云把他接去，就看不见他了。 10 当他往上升，他们定睛望天的时候，忽然有两个人，身穿白衣，站在他们旁边， 11 说：“加利利人哪，为甚么站着望天呢？这位被接升天离开你们的耶稣，你们看见他怎样往天上去，他也要怎样回来。”
选出马提亚作使徒
12 后来，他们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷，有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他们进了城，上了一间楼房，就是彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗迈、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进派的西门、雅各的儿子犹大等人所住的。 14 这些人和几个妇女，耶稣的母亲马利亚，还有他的兄弟们，都在一起，同心地恒切祷告。
15 那时，约有一百二十人聚会，彼得在众弟兄中间站起来说： 16 “弟兄们，经上的话，就是圣灵借着大卫的口，预言那领人捉拿耶稣的犹大的事，是一定会应验的。 17 他本是我们中间的一个，一同领受了这职分。 18 他用不义的酬劳买了一块田，结果倒头栽了下去，腹破肠流。 19 这事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道，所以按当地的话，那块地称为亚革大马，意思就是‘血田’。 20 因为诗篇上写着：
‘愿他的住处变为荒场，
无人居在其中。’
又说：
‘愿别人取代他的职分。’
21-22 所以，从约翰施洗起，直到主离开我们被接上升的那天为止，当他在我们中间来往的时候，那些跟我们常在一起的人中，应该有一个人出来与我们一同作耶稣复活的见证人。” 23 于是他们提出两个人：约瑟（号称巴撒巴，又名犹士都）和马提亚， 24 就祷告说：“主啊！你知道万人的心，求你从这两个人中，指明你要拣选谁， 25 来承担这使徒的职位和工作。这职位犹大已经放弃，往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就为他们抽签，结果抽中了马提亚，他就与十一使徒同列。

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
King James Version
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
