使徒行传 16
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
提摩太跟保罗和西拉同工
16 后来，保罗来到特庇，又到路司得。在那里有一个门徒，名叫提摩太，是信主的犹太妇人的儿子，他父亲却是希腊人。 2 路司得和以哥念的弟兄都称赞他。 3 保罗要带他同去，只因那些地方的犹太人都知道他父亲是希腊人，就给他行了割礼。 4 他们经过各城，把耶路撒冷使徒和长老所决定的规条交给门徒遵守。 5 于是众教会信心越发坚固，人数天天增加。
保罗看见马其顿人的异象
6 因为圣灵禁止他们在亚细亚讲道，他们就经过弗吕家、加拉太一带地方。 7 到了每西亚的边界，他们想要往庇推尼去，耶稣的灵却不许。 8 他们就越过每西亚，下特罗亚去。 9 夜间，有异象向保罗显现。有一个马其顿人站着求他说：“请你过来，到马其顿来帮助我们！” 10 保罗既看见这异象，我们就立即设法往马其顿去，认为 神呼召我们传福音给那里的人。
吕底亚归主
11 我们从特罗亚开船，直行驶到撒摩特喇，第二天到了尼亚坡里； 12 从那里来到腓立比，就是马其顿这一带的一个重要城市[a]，也是罗马的驻防城。我们在这城里住了几天。 13 在安息日，我们出城门，到了河边，知道那里有一个祷告的地方[b]，我们就坐下来对那些聚会的妇女讲道。 14 有一个卖紫色布的妇人，名叫吕底亚，是推雅推喇城的人，素来敬拜 神。她在听着，主就开导她的心，使她留心听保罗所讲的话。 15 她和她一家都领了洗，就求我们说：“你们若以为我是真心信主的[c]，请到我家里来住。”于是她坚决请我们留下。
在腓立比被囚
16 后来，我们往那祷告的地方去时，有一个被占卜的灵附身的使女迎面走来，她使用法术使她的主人们发了大财。 17 她跟随保罗和我们，喊着说：“这些人是至高 神的仆人，对你们传讲救人的道路。” 18 她一连好几天这样喊叫，保罗就心中厌烦，转身对那灵说：“我奉耶稣基督的名吩咐你从她身上出来！”那灵立刻出来了。 19 使女的主人们见发财的指望没有了，就揪住保罗和西拉，拉他们到市上去见官； 20 又带他们到行政官长们面前，说：“这些骚扰我们城的，他们是犹太人， 21 竟传布我们罗马人所不可接受、不可遵守的规矩。” 22 群众就一齐起来攻击他们。官长们吩咐撕开他们的衣裳，用棍子打； 23 打了许多棍，就把他们下在监里，嘱咐狱警严紧看守。 24 狱警领了这样的命令，就把他们下在内监，两脚拴在木架上。
25 约在半夜，保罗和西拉正在祷告，唱诗赞美 神，众囚犯也侧耳听着的时候， 26 忽然，地大震动，甚至监牢的地基都摇动了，监门立刻全开，众囚犯的锁链也都解开了。 27 狱警一醒，看见监门全开，以为囚犯已经逃走，就拔刀要自杀。 28 保罗大声呼叫：“不要伤害自己！我们都在这里。” 29 狱警叫人拿灯来，就冲进去，战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗和西拉面前。 30 然后狱警领他们出来，说：“二位先生，我必须做什么才可以得救？” 31 他们说：“当信主耶稣，你和你一家都必得救[d]。” 32 他们就把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听。 33 当夜，就在那时候，狱警把他们带去，洗他们的伤；他和他所有的家人立刻都受了洗。 34 于是狱警领他们上自己的家里去，给他们摆上饭。他和全家的人，因为信了 神，都满心喜乐。
35 到了天亮，官长们打发差役来，说：“释放那两个人吧。” 36 狱警就把这些话告诉保罗：“官长们打发人来，要释放你们，现在可以出监，平平安安去吧。” 37 保罗却说：“我们是罗马人，并没有定罪，他们竟在公众面前打了我们，又把我们下在监里；现在要私下赶我们出去吗？这不行！叫他们自己来领我们出去吧！” 38 差役把这些话回禀官长们；官长们听见他们是罗马人，就害怕了， 39 于是来劝他们，领他们出来，请他们离开那城。 40 二人出了监牢，往吕底亚家里去，见了弟兄们，劝慰他们一番，就离开了。

提摩太加入福音事工
16 保羅來到特庇，然後又到路司得。那裡有個門徒名叫提摩太，母親是信主的猶太人，父親是希臘人。 2 路司得和以哥念的弟兄姊妹都稱讚提摩太。 3 保羅打算帶提摩太去傳福音。因為當地的猶太人都知道提摩太的父親是希臘人，保羅就給提摩太行了割禮。 4 他們走遍各城，把耶路撒冷的使徒和長老所定下的規條教導當地的門徒遵守。 5 這樣，眾教會在信仰上得到堅固，人數天天都在增加。
馬其頓人的呼求
6 由於聖靈阻止他們到亞細亞傳福音，他們便經過弗呂迦和加拉太地區， 7 來到每西亞的邊界，正要進入庇推尼地區，耶穌的靈又加以攔阻。 8 他們就越過每西亞，下到特羅亞。 9 當天晚上，保羅在異象中看見一個馬其頓人站在那裡懇求他：「請到馬其頓來幫助我們！」
10 保羅見了這個異象，確信是上帝呼召我們[a]到馬其頓去傳福音，就立刻準備動身。 11 我們從特羅亞啟航，直接駛往撒摩特喇，第二天抵達尼亞坡里， 12 再從那裡來到腓立比。腓立比是馬其頓的主要城市，是羅馬帝國的殖民地。我們在那裡住了幾天。 13 安息日那天，我們到城外的河邊，知道那裡有一個禱告的地方，就坐下來，向已經聚集的婦女講道。 14 聽眾中有個賣紫色布匹的婦人名叫呂底亞，是推雅推喇城的人，向來敬拜上帝。上帝開啟她的心，她便留心聽保羅講道。 15 呂底亞和家人接受洗禮之後，極力邀請我們，說：「如果你們認為我是真心信主的話，請來我家住。」於是強留我們住下。
保羅和西拉入獄
16 一天，我們又去河邊那個禱告的地方，途中遇到一個被巫鬼附身的女奴。她用占卜為她的主人們賺了不少錢。 17 她跟著保羅和我們大喊大叫：「這些人是至高上帝的奴僕，是來向你們宣講得救之道的。」 18 一連幾天，她都這樣喊叫。保羅不勝其煩，就轉過身來斥責那鬼：「我奉耶穌基督的名命令你從她身上出來！」那鬼立刻從她身上出去了。
19 她的主人們眼見財路斷絕了，就把保羅和西拉揪住，拖到廣場去見官長。 20 他們在官長面前控告保羅和西拉，說：「這些是猶太人，竟擾亂我們的城市， 21 宣揚我們羅馬人不可接受或實行的風俗。」 22 於是，大家都一起攻擊他們，官長下令剝掉他們的衣服，杖打他們。 23 他們被毒打一頓，又被關進監獄，官長命獄卒嚴密看守。 24 獄卒接到命令後把他們關進內牢，雙腳上了枷鎖。
25 半夜，保羅和西拉禱告、唱詩讚美上帝，其他的囚犯都側耳傾聽。 26 突然間發生大地震，整座監獄的地基都搖動起來，牢門立刻全開了，囚犯的鎖鏈也都鬆開了。 27 獄卒驚醒後，看見牢門盡開，以為囚犯已經逃走了，就想拔刀自殺。 28 保羅見狀，大聲喝止：「不要傷害自己，我們都在這裡！」
29 獄卒叫人拿燈過來，衝進內牢，戰戰兢兢地俯伏在保羅和西拉面前。 30 獄卒領他們出來後問道：「兩位先生，我該怎樣做才能得救？」
31 他們說：「要信主耶穌，你和你一家就必定得救。」 32 於是保羅和西拉向獄卒和他全家傳講主的道。 33 當晚，獄卒把二人帶去，為他們清洗傷口。他一家老小都接受了洗禮。 34 他請二人到家裡吃飯，他和全家人充滿了喜樂，因為都信了上帝。
35 第二天早上，官長派差役來，說：「把他們放了。」 36 獄卒轉告保羅說：「官長下令釋放你們，現在你們可以平安地走了。」 37 保羅卻說：「我們是羅馬公民，他們不經審訊就當眾打我們，又把我們關進牢裡，現在卻想偷偷打發掉我們嗎？這樣不行，叫他們親自來領我們出去！」
38 差役回報官長。官長得知保羅和西拉都是羅馬公民，非常害怕， 39 連忙到獄中向他們道歉，領他們出監，又央求他們離開腓立比。 40 二人離開監獄，來到呂底亞家中，見了弟兄姊妹，勸勉一番之後，便離開了那裡。

Acts 16
King James Version
16 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
