使徒行传 12
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
雅各殉道,彼得被囚
12 那時,希律王下手苦害教會中的幾個人, 2 用刀殺了約翰的哥哥雅各。 3 他見這事博得了猶太人的歡心,就在除酵節期間,再次捉拿彼得。 4 捉到了,就把他關在監裡,交給四班士兵看守,每班四個人,打算過了逾越節,把他提出來交給民眾。 5 彼得就這樣被拘留在監裡;但教會卻為他迫切地祈求 神。
天使救彼得出監
6 希律要提他出來的前一夜,彼得被兩條鎖鍊鎖住,睡在兩個士兵中間,還有衛兵守在門前。 7 忽然,有主的一位使者出現,牢房裡就光芒四射。天使拍拍彼得的肋旁,喚醒他,說:“快起來!”他手上的鎖鍊就脫落了。 8 天使對他說:“束上帶子,穿上鞋!”他就這樣作了。天使又說:“披上外衣,跟我走!” 9 他就出來跟著天使走,但他不知道天使所作的事是真的,還以為是見了異象。 10 他們經過第一、第二兩個崗位,來到通往城內的鐵門,那門自動給他們開了。他們出來,往前走了一條街,天使立刻離開了他。 11 彼得清醒過來,說:“現在我確實知道,主差他的天使來,救我脫離希律的手和猶太人所期望的一切。” 12 他明白了之後,就到約翰(別名馬可)的母親馬利亞家裡去;有許多人聚集在那裡禱告。 13 彼得敲了大門,有一個名叫羅大的使女,出來應門。 14 她認出是彼得的聲音,歡喜到顧不得開門,就跑進去報告,說彼得站在門外。 15 大家說:“你瘋了!”她卻堅持地說這是真的。他們說:“一定是他的天使。” 16 彼得繼續敲門;他們打開了,一見是他,就非常驚訝。 17 彼得作了一個手勢,要他們安靜,然後對他們述說主怎樣領他出監,又說:“你們把這些事告訴雅各和眾弟兄。”就離開那裡,到別的地方去了。
18 天亮的時候,士兵們非常慌亂,不知彼得出了甚麼事。 19 希律搜索他,卻找不到,就審問衛兵,下令把他們帶出去處死。後來希律離開猶太,到該撒利亞去,住在那裡。
希律被 神擊打
20 當時希律對推羅和西頓人懷怒在心。這兩地的人因為他們的地區都需要從王的領土得到糧食,就先拉攏了王的內侍臣伯拉斯都,然後同心地去見希律,要向他求和。 21 到了定好的日期,希律穿上王服,坐在高臺上,向他們演講。 22 群眾大聲說:“這是 神的聲音,不是人的聲音!” 23 他不歸榮耀給 神,所以主的使者立刻擊打他,他被蟲咬,就斷了氣。
24 神的道日漸興旺,越發廣傳。 25 巴拿巴和掃羅完成了送交捐項的任務,就帶著名叫馬可的約翰,從耶路撒冷回來。

希律王的暴行
12 那时,希律王下手残害教会的一些人, 2 杀了约翰的哥哥雅各。 3 他见这样做能取悦犹太人,便又在除酵节期间拘捕了彼得, 4 把他关在监里,由四班卫兵,每班四人轮流看守,想等逾越节[a]过后当众惩办他。 5 彼得被囚期间,教会都迫切地为他向上帝祷告。
彼得神奇出狱
6 在被希律提审前一夜,彼得被两条铁链锁着睡在两个卫兵中间,门外警卫森严。 7 忽然,有一位主的天使站在彼得身旁,监牢内一片光明,天使拍他的肋旁,把他叫醒,说:“赶快起来!”铁链就从他手上脱落下来。 8 天使对他说:“束上腰带,穿好鞋子。”彼得一一照办。天使又说:“披上外衣,跟我来!” 9 他跟着天使走出牢房,不知道这一切都是真的,还以为自己看到了异象。 10 他们一路穿过第一道和第二道守卫,来到通往城里的铁门,那门竟自动打开了。他们就出来,走过一条街之后,天使便离开了彼得。
11 彼得这才如梦初醒,说:“现在我确定,主派了天使来救我脱离希律的魔掌,不让犹太人的期望得逞。” 12 他清醒后,便到约翰·马可的母亲玛丽亚家,很多人正聚集在那里祷告。
13 彼得在外面敲门,有一个叫罗大的婢女出来应门。 14 她听出是彼得的声音,喜出望外,竟然没有开门就跑进去告诉大家:“彼得在门外!” 15 他们说:“你一定疯了。”她坚持说:“是真的!”他们就说:“是他的天使吧!”
16 彼得不住地敲门。他们开门看见他,都大吃一惊! 17 彼得摆手示意他们安静,然后把主怎样领他出狱的经过告诉大家,又说:“把这事告诉雅各和其他弟兄姊妹。”交待完了,他便离开那里,往其他地方去了。
18 天亮后,监狱的守卫发现彼得不见了,顿时一片骚动。 19 希律派人四处搜捕,一无所获,于是亲自审问看守彼得的卫兵,下令处决他们。后来希律离开犹太,下到凯撒利亚,并住在那里。
希律的下场
20 希律对泰尔和西顿的人非常恼火。于是,他们联合起来去见他,先取得宫廷总管伯拉斯都的支持,然后向他求和,因为他们两地需要从他的辖区获得粮食。
21 到了约定的日子,希律穿上王袍,坐在宝座上向众人致词。 22 致词完毕,众人齐声高呼:“这是神明在说话,不是凡人在说话!” 23 希律没有把荣耀归给上帝,主的天使立刻惩罚他,他当场被虫子咬死了。
24 上帝的道日见兴旺,越传越广。
25 巴拿巴和扫罗把款项送到以后,就带着约翰·马可从耶路撒冷回去。

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
雅各殉道,彼得被囚
12 大约在此时,希律王下手虐待教会中的一些人, 2 用刀杀了约翰的哥哥[a]雅各。 3 他见这事使犹太人高兴,就又去抓彼得;那时正是除酵节期间。 4 希律抓了彼得,把他关进监狱,交给四班士兵看守,每班四个人,打算在逾越节以后把他提到民众面前审判[b]。 5 这样,彼得被拘留在监狱里,教会却为他热切地向神祷告。
彼得获救
6 希律要把彼得提出来审判[c]的前一夜,彼得被两条铁链捆锁,睡在两个士兵中间,又有一些卫兵在监狱门前看守着。 7 忽然主的一位天使站在旁边,牢房里有光照耀。天使拍拍彼得的肋旁,叫醒他,说:“赶快起来!”那些铁链立刻就从彼得的手上掉了下来。 8 天使对他说:“束上腰带,穿上鞋子!”他就照着做了。天使又说:“披上外衣,跟着我!” 9 彼得就出来跟着走,却不知道天使所做的是真的,以为自己是见了异象。 10 他们经过第一和第二道岗,来到通往城里的铁门前,铁门就自动为他们开了。他们出去,走过一条街,天使立刻离开了他。
11 这时候,彼得清醒过来,说:“现在我确实知道主派了他的天使来,救我脱离希律的手和犹太民众所期待的一切事。” 12 他明白之后,就到约翰的母亲玛丽亚家去,这约翰又叫马可。有许多人聚集在那里祷告。 13 彼得敲了外面的门,一个叫罗妲的女仆前来应门。 14 她一认出是彼得的声音,就高兴得顾不上打开门,跑进去告诉大家说,彼得站在门外。
15 他们对罗妲说:“你疯了!”可是她坚持就是如此。他们不住地说:“那是他的天使。” 16 这时,彼得不停地敲门。他们就打开了门,看见是他,都十分惊讶。
17 彼得挥一下手叫他们安静,告诉他们主怎样领他出了监狱,又说:“你们把这些事告诉雅各和弟兄们。”然后他就出发,往别的地方去了。
18 到天亮,士兵们中间起了不小的骚动,不知道彼得出了什么事。 19 希律搜寻彼得,却没有找到,就审问卫兵们,下令把他们处决了。后来希律离开犹太,下到凯撒里亚去,住在那里。
希律之死
20 当时,希律一直恼恨提尔和西顿的人。所以他们联合起来到王那里去,先说服了王的内臣布拉斯托,然后向王求和,因为他们地区的人是从王的领地[d]得粮食的。 21 在指定的日子,希律穿上王袍,坐在审判席上,向他们公开演说。 22 民众一直喊叫:“这是神的声音,不是人的声音。” 23 主的一位天使立刻击打希律,因为他没有把荣耀归给神。他被虫咬蚀,就断了气。 24 于是神的话语[e]不断扩展[f],越发广传。 25 巴拿巴和扫罗完成了那服事的工作[g],就带着那称为马可的约翰,从耶路撒冷回去了[h]。

Acts 12
King James Version
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
