使徒行传 15
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
耶路撒冷会议
15 有几个人从犹太下来，教导弟兄们说：“你们若不按照摩西的规矩受割礼，不能得救。” 2 保罗和巴拿巴跟他们发生了激烈的争执和辩论；大家就决定指派保罗、巴拿巴和本会的几个人，为所辩论的事上耶路撒冷去见使徒和长老。 3 于是教会为他们送行。他们经过腓尼基、撒玛利亚，沿途叙说外邦人归主的事，使众弟兄都非常欢喜。 4 他们到了耶路撒冷，教会、使徒和长老都接待他们，他们就述说 神同他们所做的一切事。 5 惟有几个法利赛派的信徒起来，说：“必须给外邦人行割礼，吩咐他们遵守摩西的律法。”
6 使徒和长老聚集商议这事。 7 辩论了许久后，彼得站起来，对他们说：“诸位弟兄，你们知道 神早已在你们中间拣选了我，让外邦人从我口中得听福音之道，而且相信。 8 知道人心的 神也为他们作了见证，赐圣灵给他们，正如给我们一样； 9 又藉着信洁净了他们的心，他们和我们之间并没有什么分别。 10 现在你们为什么试探 神，要把我们祖宗和我们所不能负的轭放在门徒的颈项上呢？ 11 相反地，我们相信，我们得救是因主耶稣的恩典，和他们一样。”
12 众人都默默无声，听巴拿巴和保罗述说 神藉着他们在外邦人中所行的神迹和奇事。 13 他们讲完了，雅各回答说：“诸位弟兄，请听我说。 14 刚才西门述说 神当初怎样眷顾外邦人，从他们中间选取人民归于自己的名下； 15 众先知的话也与这意思相符合。 16 正如经上所写的：
‘此后，我要回来，
重新修造大卫倒塌了的帐幕，
从废墟中重新修造，
把它建立起来，
17-18 使剩余的人，
就是凡称我名的外邦人，
都寻求主。
这话是自古以来显明这些事的主说的。’
19 所以，我的意见是不可难为那归向 神的外邦人； 20 但是要写信吩咐他们禁戒偶像所玷污的东西、血和勒死的牲畜[a]，禁戒淫乱。 21 因为历代以来，摩西的书在各城都有人宣讲，每逢安息日，也在会堂里诵读。”
会议的覆函
22 那时，使徒、长老和全教会认为应从他们中间拣选人，差他们和保罗、巴拿巴一同到安提阿去，所拣选的就是称为巴撒巴的犹大和西拉。这二人在弟兄中是领袖。 23 他们带去的信说：“使徒和作长老的弟兄们向安提阿、叙利亚、基利家外邦众弟兄问安。 24 我们听说，有几个人从我们这里出去[b]，用一些话骚扰你们，使你们的心困惑，[c]其实我们并没有吩咐他们。 25 我们认为，既然我们同心定意，就拣选几个人，派他们同我们所亲爱的巴拿巴和保罗到你们那里去。 26 这二人曾为我主耶稣基督的名不顾自己的性命。 27 所以我们派犹大和西拉去，他们也会亲口述说这些事。 28 因为圣灵和我们决定除了这几件重要的事，不将别的重担放在你们身上， 29 就是禁戒偶像所玷污的东西、血和勒死的牲畜，禁戒淫乱。这几件你们若能自己禁戒就好了。祝你们安康！”
30 他们既奉了差遣就下安提阿去，聚集会众，把书信交给他们。 31 众人念了，因为信上鼓励的话而感到欣慰。 32 犹大和西拉自己也是先知，就用许多话劝勉弟兄，坚固他们。 33 二人住了些日子，弟兄们打发他们平平安安地回到差遣他们的人那里去。[d] 35 但保罗和巴拿巴仍留在安提阿，和许多别的人一同教导，并传扬主的道。
保罗和巴拿巴分手
36 过了些日子，保罗对巴拿巴说：“让我们回到从前宣扬主道的各城，看看弟兄们的情况如何。” 37 巴拿巴有意要带称为马可的约翰同去； 38 但保罗认为不宜带他去，因为马可从前在旁非利亚离开他们，不和他们一起工作。 39 于是二人起了争执，甚至彼此分手。巴拿巴带着马可，坐船往塞浦路斯去； 40 保罗则拣选了西拉，也出发了，蒙弟兄们把他交于主的恩典中。 41 他就走遍了叙利亚、基利家，坚固众教会。

耶路撒冷会议
15 有几个从犹太下来的人教导弟兄们说：“你们若不照着摩西的规条接受割礼，就不能得救。” 2 保罗和巴拿巴为这件事与他们激烈地辩论，最后大家决定派保罗、巴拿巴和几个当地的信徒上耶路撒冷去跟使徒和长老讨论这件事。
3 于是教会为他们送行。他们经过腓尼基和撒玛利亚，沿途报告外族人悔改信主的消息，弟兄姊妹都大受鼓舞。 4 他们到了耶路撒冷，受到教会、使徒和长老的接待，并详述了上帝借他们所做的一切事。 5 有几个信了主的法利赛人站起来说：“外族的信徒必须接受割礼，而且还要遵守摩西的律法。”
6 使徒和长老们聚集商议这个问题。 7 经过许多辩论之后，彼得站起来对大家说：“弟兄们，你们都知道，上帝早已在你们当中拣选我去向外族人传道，让他们也可以听到福音并信主。 8 洞悉人心的上帝把圣灵赐给他们，正如赐给我们一样，以表明祂也接纳外族人。 9 上帝对他们和我们一视同仁，祂因他们的信心而洁净了他们的心灵。 10 现在你们为什么要试探上帝，把我们祖先和我们不能负的重担强加在这些门徒身上？ 11 我们相信，他们和我们一样都是靠主耶稣的恩典得救。”
12 众人都沉默不语，继续听巴拿巴和保罗叙述上帝借着他们在外族人中所行的神迹奇事。 13 他们报告完了，雅各站起来说：“弟兄们，请听我说。 14 刚才西门讲述了上帝当初如何眷顾外族人，从他们当中拣选人归在祂的名下。 15 这完全与众先知的话相符，正如圣经上说，
16 “‘此后，我要回来重建已倾覆的大卫王朝，
将它从废墟中重建、恢复，
17 好叫其余的百姓，
就是凡归在我名下的外族人都寻求主。’
这是上帝说的， 18 祂从亘古就显明了这事。
19 “所以，我认为不应该为难那些信上帝的外族人。 20 我们只须写信吩咐他们远避被偶像玷污之物，不可淫乱，不可吃血和勒死的牲畜。 21 因为自古以来，在各城都有人宣讲摩西的律法，每逢安息日，都有人在会堂里诵读。”
给外族信徒的信
22 最后，使徒、长老和全教会都决定从他们当中选派代表，随保罗和巴拿巴去安提阿。他们选了别号巴撒巴的犹大和西拉，这两位都是教会的领袖。 23 他们带去的书信这样说：“安提阿、叙利亚和基利迦的外族弟兄姊妹，你们的弟兄——众使徒和长老向你们问安！
24 “听说有几个人从我们这里去了你们那里，教导你们必须接受割礼并遵守摩西的律法[a]。他们的言论使你们大感困惑。其实我们从来没有授权他们这样做。 25 所以我们一致决定选派代表，随我们敬爱的巴拿巴和保罗去你们那里。 26 他们二人为我们主耶稣基督的缘故已将生死置之度外。 27 我们选派犹大和西拉两位代表跟他们一起去，向你们报告我们的决定。 28 因为圣灵和我们都认为不应把重担加在你们身上。但请务必注意以下几件事， 29 要远避祭拜偶像的事，不可吃血，不可吃勒死的牲畜，不可淫乱。你们一一遵守这些事就好了。祝平安！”
30 他们奉命下到安提阿，召集众人，交付书信。 31 众人读过这封信之后，都因信中劝勉的话而欢喜。 32 犹大和西拉也是先知，他们讲了许多勉励、坚立弟兄姊妹的话。 33 住了些日子后，安提阿的弟兄姊妹以平安的祝福为他们送行，让他们回耶路撒冷复命。 34 但西拉决定留在那里。[b] 35 保罗和巴拿巴则继续留在安提阿，与许多人一起教导、传扬上帝的道。
保罗与巴拿巴分手
36 过了一些日子，保罗对巴拿巴说：“我们回到曾传过福音的各城镇去探望弟兄姊妹吧，好知道他们的情况。” 37 巴拿巴想要带约翰·马可同去， 38 但保罗坚持不带他同行，因为他在旁非利亚离开了他们，没有和他们一起做工。
39 二人激烈地争执起来，僵持不下，只好分道扬镳。巴拿巴和约翰·马可一同乘船去塞浦路斯。 40 保罗则选了西拉同行，弟兄姊妹把他们交托在主的恩典中。 41 保罗走遍了叙利亚和基利迦，巩固当地的各教会。
Acts 15
King James Version
15 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
