使徒行传 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
哥尼流蒙主指示
10 在該撒利亞有一個人，名叫哥尼流，是意大利營的百夫長。 2 他是一個虔誠的人，他和全家都敬畏 神，對人民行過許多善事，常常向 神禱告。 3 有一天，大約下午三點鐘，他在異象中，清清楚楚看見 神的一位天使來到他那裡，對他說：“哥尼流！” 4 他定睛一看，害怕起來，說：“主啊，甚麼事？”天使說：“你的禱告和善行，已經達到 神面前，蒙他記念了。 5 現在你要派人到約帕去，請那個名叫彼得的西門來。 6 他在一個製皮工人西門的家裡作客，房子就在海邊。” 7 和他說話的天使走了之後，他就叫了兩個家僕和侍候他的一個虔誠的士兵來， 8 把一切事向他們講明，然後派他們到約帕去。
彼得見異象(A)
9 第二天，大約正午，他們走近那座城的時候，彼得上了房頂去禱告。 10 那家人正在預備飯的時候，彼得覺得餓了，很想吃飯。這時候他魂遊象外， 11 看見天開了，有一件東西，好像一塊大布，綁著四角，降在地上。 12 裡面有地上的各樣四足牲畜，還有昆蟲和天空的飛鳥。 13 有聲音對他說：“彼得，起來，宰了吃！” 14 彼得說：“主啊，千萬不可！我從來不吃俗物和不潔的東西。” 15 第二次又有聲音對他說：“ 神所潔淨的，你不可當作俗物。” 16 這樣一連三次，那件東西就立刻收回天上去了。 17 彼得猶豫不定，不明白所看見的異象是甚麼意思，恰好哥尼流派來的人，找到西門的家，站在門口， 18 大聲問：“有沒有一個名叫彼得的西門在這裡作客？” 19 彼得還在思量那異象，聖靈對他說：“你看，有三個人來找你！ 20 起來，下去吧，跟他們一起去，不要疑惑，因為是我差他們來的。” 21 於是彼得下樓到他們那裡，說：“看，我就是你們所要找的人。你們是為甚麼來的？” 22 他們說：“百夫長哥尼流是個義人，敬畏 神，全猶太族都稱讚他。他得到一位聖天使的指示，請你到他家裡，要聽你的話。” 23 彼得就請他們進去，留他們住下。
第二天，彼得動身跟他們一同去，另有約帕的幾位弟兄同行。 24 第三天，他們到了該撒利亞。哥尼流已經招聚了自己的親戚好友在恭候他們。 25 彼得一進去，哥尼流就迎接他，俯伏在他腳前叩拜。 26 彼得扶起他，說：“起來，我也是人。” 27 彼得和他說了話，就進去，看見許多人聚集在那裡， 28 就對他們說：“你們知道，猶太人本來是不准和外國人接近來往的，但 神已經指示了我，不可把任何人當作凡俗或不潔的。 29 所以我一被邀請，就毫不推辭地來了。現在請問：你們請我來是為甚麼事？” 30 哥尼流說：“四天以前下午三點鐘，我在家裡禱告的時候，忽然有一位身穿光明衣服的人，站在我面前， 31 說：‘哥尼流，你的禱告已蒙垂聽，你的善行在 神面前已蒙記念。 32 你要派人到約帕去，請那個名叫彼得的西門來。他在海邊一個製皮工人西門的家作客。’ 33 所以我立刻派人去請你，現在你來了，好極了！我們都在 神面前，要聽主吩咐你的一切話。”
彼得對哥尼流全家講道
34 彼得就開口說：“我實在看出 神是不偏待人的。 35 原來在各民族中，凡敬畏他而行義的，都蒙他悅納。 36 神藉著耶穌基督（他是萬有的主）傳和平的福音，把這道傳給以色列人。 37 你們知道：在約翰傳講洗禮之後，這道從加利利傳遍了猶太， 38 並且知道 神怎樣用聖靈和能力膏立拿撒勒人耶穌。他到各處行善事，醫好所有被魔鬼壓制的人，因為 神與他同在。 39 我們就是他在猶太人之地和耶路撒冷所行一切事的見證人；他們竟然把他掛在木頭上，殺了他。 40 神叫他第三天復活，並且使他顯現， 41 不是顯現給所有的人看，而是給 神預先揀選的見證人看，就是我們這些在他從死人中復活之後，與他一同吃喝的人。 42 他吩咐我們向人民傳講，鄭重證明他是 神所立，審判活人死人的主。 43 所有先知都為他作見證：所有信他的，都必藉著他的名，罪得赦免。”
外族人領受聖靈
44 彼得還在說話的時候，聖靈降在所有聽道的人身上， 45 那些受了割禮、跟彼得一同來的信徒，因為聖靈的恩賜（“恩賜”或譯：“恩賞”）也澆灌在外族人的身上，都很驚訝； 46 原來聽見他們講方言，尊 神為大。於是彼得說： 47 “這些人既然領受了聖靈，跟我們一樣，誰能禁止他們受水的洗禮呢？” 48 就吩咐他們奉耶穌基督的名受洗。後來，他們請彼得住了幾天。
Acts 10
New King James Version
Cornelius Sends a Delegation
10 There was a certain man in (A)Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [a]Regiment, 2 (B)a devout man and one who (C)feared God with all his household, who gave [b]alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 About [c]the ninth hour of the day (D)he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 5 Now (E)send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 He is lodging with (F)Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. (G)He[d] will tell you what you must do.” 7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. 8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Peter’s Vision
9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, (H)Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about [e]the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and (I)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! (J)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, (K)“What God has [f]cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Summoned to Caesarea
17 Now while Peter [g]wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, (L)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 (M)Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men [h]who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”
22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and (N)has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.
On the next day Peter went away with them, (O)and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Peter Meets Cornelius
24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, (P)“Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how (Q)unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But (R)God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”
30 So Cornelius said, [i]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, (S)a man stood before me (T)in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, (U)your prayer has been heard, and (V)your [j]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [k]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
Preaching to Cornelius’ Household
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: (W)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But (X)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is (Y)accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the [l]children of Israel, (Z)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—(AA)He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and (AB)began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how (AC)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who (AD)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, (AE)for God was with Him. 39 And we are (AF)witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom [m]they (AG)killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him (AH)God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 (AI)not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us (AJ)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And (AK)He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify (AL)that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge (AM)of the living and the dead. 43 (AN)To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, (AO)whoever believes in Him will receive (AP)remission[n] of sins.”
The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (AQ)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 (AR)And [o]those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, (AS)because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (AT)just as we have?” 48 (AU)And he commanded them to be baptized (AV)in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
百夫长哥尼流的异象
10 在凯撒里亚有一个名叫哥尼流的人，是那叫做“意大利”军团的百夫长， 2 他是个敬虔的人，与全家都敬畏神；他慷慨地周济民众，常常向神祷告。 3 有一天，大约下午三点[a]，他在异象中清楚地看见神的一位天使来到他面前，对他说：“哥尼流！”
4 哥尼流注视着他，感到害怕，说：“主啊，有什么事呢？”
天使说：“你的祷告和你的施舍，已经上达神的面前蒙记念了。 5 现在你要派人到约帕去，请一位称为彼得的西门来。 6 他在一个硝皮匠西门的家里作客住宿，房子就在海边[b]。[c]”
7 向哥尼流说话的天使离开以后，哥尼流叫来两个家仆和常伺候他的一个敬神的士兵， 8 向他们述说这一切以后，就派他们去约帕。
彼得的异象
9 第二天，当他们赶路快到约帕的时候，大约中午十二点[d]，彼得上屋顶去祷告。 10 他感到饿了，想吃东西。有人正在给他准备的时候，彼得魂游象外， 11 看见天开了，有一样东西降下，好像一块大布，四角捆住[e]，缒到地上。 12 里面有地上的各种四足动物、野兽[f]、爬行动物和天空的飞鸟。 13 接着有声音对他说：“彼得，起来，宰了吃！”
14 彼得却说：“主啊，千万不可！因为我从来没有吃过任何俗物和不洁净的东西。”
15 那声音第二次又对他说：“神所洁净的，你不可当做污秽的。” 16 这样一连有三次，那东西随即被收回天上去了。
彼得访问哥尼流
17 当彼得心里困惑，不知道所看见的异象是什么意思的时候，看哪，哥尼流派来的人已经打听到了西门的家，站在门口， 18 大声问：“是否有一位称为彼得的西门在这里作客住宿？”
19 彼得还在思考那异象的时候，圣灵对他说：“看哪，有三个人来找你！ 20 你起来，下去与他们一起走，不要有任何疑惑，因为是我派他们来的。”
21 彼得就下到[g]那些人那里，说：“看，我就是你们要找的人。你们来到这里是为了什么缘故呢？”
22 他们说：“百夫长哥尼流是个义人，敬畏神，也受到了犹太全族的赞许。他受一位圣天使的指示：要请你到他家去，听你的话语。” 23 彼得就请他们进来，招待了他们。
第二天，他起身与他们一同去，还有一些约帕的弟兄陪他一起去。 24 又过了一天，他们进了凯撒里亚。哥尼流已经召集了他的亲属和好友，等候着他们。 25 当彼得进去的时候，哥尼流就迎上去，俯伏在他的脚前拜他。
26 彼得扶他起来，说：“你起来，我自己也是个人。” 27 彼得与他说着话进去，看见里面聚集了许多人， 28 就对他们说：“你们知道，犹太人和外族人交往或亲近是律法所禁止的[h]。但是神指示我，不要把任何人当做俗的或不洁净的。 29 所以我一受邀请，没有推辞就来了。那么请问，你们请我来有什么事呢？”
30 哥尼流说：“四天前的这个时候[i]，下午三点[j]，我在家里祷告[k]。忽然有一个身穿明亮衣服的人，站在我面前， 31 说‘哥尼流，你的祷告已蒙垂听，你的施舍已经在神面前蒙记念了。 32 所以你当派人到约帕去，请一位称为彼得的西门来。他在海边硝皮匠西门的家里作客住宿。[l]’ 33 所以我就立即派人到你那里。你来了真好！现在我们都来到这里，在神的面前，聆听主[m]所吩咐你的一切话。”
向外邦人传福音
34 于是彼得就开口说：“我现在真的了解神是不偏待人的， 35 原来在各民族中，那敬畏神而行义的人，都是神所悦纳的。 36 神藉着耶稣基督——这一位就是万有之主——传和平[n]的福音，把这话语赐给了以色列子民。 37 你们知道在约翰所传讲的洗礼以后，那从加利利开始，在犹太全地所发生的事， 38 就是神怎样以圣灵和能力膏立拿撒勒人耶稣，他走遍各地行善，使所有受魔鬼压制的人痊愈，因为神与他同在。 39 我们就是他在犹太人之地和耶路撒冷所行的一切事的见证人。他们竟然把他挂在木头上杀了。 40 第三天，神使他复活，并且使他显现， 41 不是显现给全体民众，而是显现给神预先选定的见证人，就是我们这些在他从死人中复活以后，与他一起吃、一起喝的人。 42 耶稣还吩咐我们要向民众传道，郑重地见证他就是神所设定的那一位，活人和死人的审判者。 43 所有的先知都为耶稣见证：‘所有信他的人，都将藉着他的名，罪得赦免。’”
外邦人信主受洗
44 彼得还在讲这些话的时候，圣灵降临在每个听这话语的人身上。 45 所有陪彼得一起来的割礼派的[o]信徒，看见所赐的圣灵[p]也被倾注在外邦人身上，都十分惊讶， 46 因为他们听见外邦人说着殊言[q]，又尊神为大。
于是彼得说： 47 “这些人就像我们一样也领受了圣灵，到底谁能阻止用水给他们施洗[r]呢？” 48 他就吩咐他们奉耶稣基督[s]的名受洗[t]；然后他们请求彼得在那里多住几天。

Acts 10
Complete Jewish Bible
10 There was a man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a Roman army officer in what was called the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout man, a “God-fearer,” as was his whole household; he gave generously to help the Jewish poor and prayed regularly to God. 3 One afternoon around three o’clock he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” 4 Cornelius stared at the angel, terrified. “What is it, sir?” he asked. “Your prayers,” replied the angel, “and your acts of charity have gone up into God’s presence, so that he has you on his mind. 5 Now send some men to Yafo to bring back a man named Shim‘on, also called Kefa. 6 He’s staying with Shim‘on the leather-tanner, who has a house by the sea.” 7 As the angel that had spoken to him went away, Cornelius called two of his household slaves and one of his military aides, who was a godly man; 8 he explained everything to them and sent them to Yafo.
9 The next day about noon, while they were still on their way and approaching the city, Kefa went up onto the roof of the house to pray. 10 He began to feel hungry and wanted something to eat; but while they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance 11 in which he saw heaven opened, and something that looked like a large sheet being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals, crawling creatures and wild birds. 13 Then a voice came to him, “Get up, Kefa, slaughter and eat!” 14 But Kefa said, “No, sir! Absolutely not! I have never eaten food that was unclean or treif.” 15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Stop treating as unclean what God has made clean.” 16 This happened three times, and then the sheet was immediately taken back up into heaven.
17 Kefa was still puzzling over the meaning of the vision he had seen, when the men Cornelius had sent, having inquired for Shim‘on’s house, stood at the gate 18 and called out to ask if the Shim‘on known as Kefa was staying there. 19 While Kefa’s mind was still on the vision, the Spirit said, “Three men are looking for you. 20 Get up, go downstairs, and have no misgivings about going with them, because I myself have sent them.”
21 So Kefa went down and said to the men, “You were looking for me? Here I am. What brings you here?” 22 They answered, “Cornelius. He’s a Roman army officer, an upright man and a God-fearer, a man highly regarded by the whole Jewish nation; and he was told by a holy angel to have you come to his house and listen to what you have to say.” 23 So Kefa invited them to be his guests.
The next day, he got up and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Yafo; 24 and he arrived at Caesarea the day after that. Cornelius was expecting them — he had already called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Kefa entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell prostrate at his feet. 26 But Kefa pulled him to his feet and said, “Stand up! I myself am just a man.”
27 As he talked with him, Kefa went inside and found many people gathered. 28 He said to them, “You are well aware that for a man who is a Jew to have close association with someone who belongs to another people, or to come and visit him, is something that just isn’t done. But God has shown me not to call any person common or unclean; 29 so when I was summoned, I came without raising any questions. Tell me, then, why did you send for me?”
30 Cornelius answered, “Three days ago around this time, I was at minchah prayers in my house, when suddenly a man in shining clothes stood in front of me 31 and said, ‘God has heard your prayer and remembered your acts of charity. 32 Now send to Yafo and ask for Shim‘on, known as Kefa; he is staying in the house of Shim‘on, a leather-tanner, by the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now all of us are here in the presence of God to hear everything the Lord has ordered you to say.”
34 Then Kefa addressed them: “I now understand that God does not play favorites, 35 but that whoever fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him, no matter what people he belongs to.
36 “Here is the message that he sent to the sons of Isra’el announcing shalom through Yeshua the Messiah, who is Lord of everything. 37 You know what has been going on throughout Y’hudah, starting from the Galil after the immersion that Yochanan proclaimed; 38 how God anointed Yeshua from Natzeret with the Ruach HaKodesh and with power; how Yeshua went about doing good and healing all the people oppressed by the Adversary, because God was with him.
39 “As for us, we are witnesses of everything he did, both in the Judean countryside and in Yerushalayim. They did away with him by hanging him on a stake;[a] 40 but God raised him up on the third day and let him be seen, 41 not by all the people, but by witnesses God had previously chosen, that is, by us, who ate and drank with him after he had risen again from the dead.
42 “Then he commanded us to proclaim and attest to the Jewish people that this man has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets bear witness to him, that everyone who puts his trust in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
44 Kefa was still saying these things when the Ruach HaKodesh fell on all who were hearing the message. 45 All the believers from the Circumcision faction who had accompanied Kefa were amazed that the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh was also being poured out 46 on the Goyim, for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Kefa’s response was, 47 “Is anyone prepared to prohibit these people from being immersed in water? After all, they have received the Ruach HaKodesh, just as we did.” 48 And he ordered that they be immersed in the name of Yeshua the Messiah. Then they asked Kefa to stay on with them for a few days.
