使徒行传 19
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
保罗在以弗所
19 阿波罗在哥林多的时候,保罗经过内陆地区,来到以弗所城,在那里他遇见一些门徒, 2 问他们:“你们信的时候,是否领受了圣灵?”
他们告诉他:“其实我们也没有听说过是否有圣灵。”
3 保罗又问:“那么,你们受的是什么洗呢?”
他们说:“是约翰的洗礼。”
4 保罗说:“约翰所施的是悔改的洗礼,他告诉民众当相信在他以后来的那一位,就是相信耶稣[a]。”
5 他们听了,就受洗[b]归入了主耶稣的名[c]。 6 接着,保罗按手在他们身上,圣灵就临到了他们。他们就说起殊言[d],又说预言。 7 他们一共约有十二个人。
在特拉诺斯学堂
8 保罗进了会堂,放胆传道,一连三个月讲论并劝导人相信那些有关神国的事。 9 后来,当有些人心里刚硬、不肯信从,在会众面前诽谤这道[e]的时候,保罗就离开他们,把门徒们分别出来,天天在特拉诺斯讲堂里讲论。 10 这样持续了两年,结果所有住在亚细亚省的人,无论是犹太人或希腊人,都听到了主[f]的福音[g]。
在以弗所驱赶邪灵
11 神藉着保罗的手,行了一些不寻常的神迹, 12 甚至有人把保罗身上的手巾和围裙拿去,放在病人身上,疾病就从他们身上消退了,邪灵也[h]出去了。
13 可是有一些四处游历的犹太驱魔师,向那些有邪灵附身的人,擅自称呼主耶稣的名,说:“我藉着保罗所传的耶稣,吩咐你们出来[i]。” 14 有一个名叫斯克瓦的犹太祭司长,他的七个儿子都在做这种事。 15 邪灵回答他们,说:“耶稣我认识,保罗我也知道!但你们呢?你们是谁?” 16 有邪灵附身的那个人就跳到他们身上,压制了所有的人[j],胜过了他们,以致他们赤着身带着伤,从那房子逃了出去。 17 所有住在以弗所的犹太人和希腊人,都知道了这件事,恐惧就临到了他们每个人,主耶稣的名因此被尊为大。 18 而且许多信徒都来,承认并述说自己的所作所为。 19 又有许多行邪术的人,把他们的书籍拿到一处,当众烧掉。他们估算了那些书的价值,发现共值[k]五万个银币[l]。 20 这样,主的福音[m]就大有能力地不断扩展[n],不断得胜。
以弗所的骚乱
21 这些事过了以后,保罗受了圣灵的感动决定要经过马其顿省和亚该亚省,到耶路撒冷去。他说:“我到那里以后,也必须去罗马看看。” 22 于是他派了提摩太和以拉斯托两个服事他的人到马其顿省去,自己暂时留在亚细亚省。
23 就在这时候,为了这道发生了不小的骚动。 24 原来,有一个名叫迪米特斯的银匠,是制造阿蒂米丝女神[o]银龛[p]的,给工匠们带来不少的生意。 25 迪米特斯召集了他们,以及周围同行的工人,说:“各位,你们知道,我们是由这生意发财的。 26 可是你们看见了也听见了,这个保罗不仅在以弗所也几乎在全亚细亚省,说服、引诱了一大群人,说‘人手所造的不是神’。 27 这样,不仅我们这行业有被轻蔑的危险,连伟大女神阿蒂米丝的庙也要被看为什么都不是,并且这受全亚细亚省和普天下敬拜的女神的威荣,也要被毁灭了。”
28 众人听了,就满腔怒火,喊叫说:“以弗所人伟大的阿蒂米丝!” 29 于是满城一片混乱。他们抓住与保罗同来的马其顿人盖尤斯和亚里达古,一齐冲进剧场。 30 保罗虽然想要进到民众当中,但门徒们不让他去。 31 还有一些亚细亚省的官员,是保罗的朋友,也派人劝他不要自己冒险到剧场去。 32 这时候,有人喊这个、有人喊那个,因为集会的人一片混乱,大多数人不知道为了什么缘故聚集。 33 犹太人把亚历山大推到前面的时候,人群中有些人要他说话。亚历山大就挥一下手,想要对民众申辩。 34 可是大家一认出他是犹太人,就同声呼喊:“以弗所人伟大的阿蒂米丝!”大约喊了两个小时。
35 后来,城里的书记官安抚了民众,说:“各位以弗所人哪,到底有什么人不知道以弗所城是伟大[q]阿蒂米丝庙和那从天落下的神像的[r]看守者呢? 36 所以这些事既然是不能否认的,你们就必须冷静下来,不要做任何妄为的事。 37 你们带来的这些人,既没有偷取庙里的东西,也没有亵渎我们[s]的女神。 38 既然如此,如果迪米特斯和与他一起的工匠们要控告谁,法庭是开着的,省长也在,让他们彼此控告吧! 39 但如果你们有什么别的要求,要在合法的集会中解决。 40 关于今天的事,本来没有正当的理由,我们实际上就有被控告为暴乱的危险。我们无法对这次骚动做出交代。” 41 说了这些话,他就遣散了集会的人。

Actes 19
Louis Segond
19 Pendant qu'Apollos était à Corinthe, Paul, après avoir parcouru les hautes provinces de l'Asie, arriva à Éphèse. Ayant rencontré quelques disciples, il leur dit:
2 Avez-vous reçu le Saint Esprit, quand vous avez cru? Ils lui répondirent: Nous n'avons pas même entendu dire qu'il y ait un Saint Esprit.
3 Il dit: De quel baptême avez-vous donc été baptisés? Et ils répondirent: Du baptême de Jean.
4 Alors Paul dit: Jean a baptisé du baptême de repentance, disant au peuple de croire en celui qui venait après lui, c'est-à-dire, en Jésus.
5 Sur ces paroles, ils furent baptisés au nom du Seigneur Jésus.
6 Lorsque Paul leur eut imposé les mains, le Saint Esprit vint sur eux, et ils parlaient en langues et prophétisaient.
7 Ils étaient en tout environ douze hommes.
8 Ensuite Paul entra dans la synagogue, où il parla librement. Pendant trois mois, il discourut sur les choses qui concernent le royaume de Dieu, s'efforçant de persuader ceux qui l'écoutaient.
9 Mais, comme quelques-uns restaient endurcis et incrédules, décriant devant la multitude la voie du Seigneur, il se retira d'eux, sépara les disciples, et enseigna chaque jour dans l'école d'un nommé Tyrannus.
10 Cela dura deux ans, de sorte que tous ceux qui habitaient l'Asie, Juifs et Grecs, entendirent la parole du Seigneur.
11 Et Dieu faisait des miracles extraordinaires par les mains de Paul,
12 au point qu'on appliquait sur les malades des linges ou des mouchoirs qui avaient touché son corps, et les maladies les quittaient, et les esprits malins sortaient.
13 Quelques exorcistes juifs ambulants essayèrent d'invoquer sur ceux qui avaient des esprits malins le nom du Seigneur Jésus, en disant: Je vous conjure par Jésus que Paul prêche!
14 Ceux qui faisaient cela étaient sept fils de Scéva, Juif, l'un des principaux sacrificateurs.
15 L'esprit malin leur répondit: Je connais Jésus, et je sais qui est Paul; mais vous, qui êtes-vous?
16 Et l'homme dans lequel était l'esprit malin s'élança sur eux, se rendit maître de tous deux, et les maltraita de telle sorte qu'ils s'enfuirent de cette maison nus et blessés.
17 Cela fut connu de tous les Juifs et de tous les Grecs qui demeuraient à Éphèse, et la crainte s'empara d'eux tous, et le nom du Seigneur Jésus était glorifié.
18 Plusieurs de ceux qui avaient cru venaient confesser et déclarer ce qu'ils avaient fait.
19 Et un certain nombre de ceux qui avaient exercé les arts magiques, ayant apporté leurs livres, les brûlèrent devant tout le monde: on en estima la valeur à cinquante mille pièces d'argent.
20 C'est ainsi que la parole du Seigneur croissait en puissance et en force.
21 Après que ces choses se furent passées, Paul forma le projet d'aller à Jérusalem, en traversant la Macédoine et l'Achaïe. Quand j'aurai été là, se disait-il, il faut aussi que je voie Rome.
22 Il envoya en Macédoine deux de ses aides, Timothée et Éraste, et il resta lui-même quelque temps encore en Asie.
23 Il survint, à cette époque, un grand trouble au sujet de la voie du Seigneur.
24 Un nommé Démétrius, orfèvre, fabriquait en argent des temples de Diane, et procurait à ses ouvriers un gain considérable.
25 Il les rassembla, avec ceux du même métier, et dit: O hommes, vous savez que notre bien-être dépend de cette industrie;
26 et vous voyez et entendez que, non seulement à Éphèse, mais dans presque toute l'Asie, ce Paul a persuadé et détourné une foule de gens, en disant que les dieux faits de main d'homme ne sont pas des dieux.
27 Le danger qui en résulte, ce n'est pas seulement que notre industrie ne tombe en discrédit; c'est encore que le temple de la grande déesse Diane ne soit tenu pour rien, et même que la majesté de celle qui est révérée dans toute l'Asie et dans le monde entier ne soit réduite à néant.
28 Ces paroles les ayant remplis de colère, ils se mirent à crier: Grande est la Diane des Éphésiens!
29 Toute la ville fut dans la confusion. Ils se précipitèrent tous ensemble au théâtre, entraînant avec eux Gaïus et Aristarque, Macédoniens, compagnons de voyage de Paul.
30 Paul voulait se présenter devant le peuple, mais les disciples l'en empêchèrent;
31 quelques-uns même des Asiarques, qui étaient ses amis, envoyèrent vers lui, pour l'engager à ne pas se rendre au théâtre.
32 Les uns criaient d'une manière, les autres d'une autre, car le désordre régnait dans l'assemblée, et la plupart ne savaient pas pourquoi ils s'étaient réunis.
33 Alors on fit sortir de la foule Alexandre, que les Juifs poussaient en avant; et Alexandre, faisant signe de la main, voulait parler au peuple.
34 Mais quand ils reconnurent qu'il était Juif, tous d'une seule voix crièrent pendant près de deux heures: Grande est la Diane des Éphésiens!
35 Cependant le secrétaire, ayant apaisé la foule, dit: Hommes Éphésiens, quel est celui qui ignore que la ville d'Éphèse est la gardienne du temple de la grande Diane et de son simulacre tombé du ciel?
36 Cela étant incontestable, vous devez vous calmer, et ne rien faire avec précipitation.
37 Car vous avez amené ces hommes, qui ne sont coupables ni de sacrilège, ni de blasphème envers notre déesse.
38 Si donc Démétrius et ses ouvriers ont à se plaindre de quelqu'un, il y a des jours d'audience et des proconsuls; qu'ils s'appellent en justice les uns les autres.
39 Et si vous avez en vue d'autres objets, ils se régleront dans une assemblée légale.
40 Nous risquons, en effet, d'être accusés de sédition pour ce qui s'est passé aujourd'hui, puisqu'il n'existe aucun motif qui nous permette de justifier cet attroupement.
41 (19:40b) Après ces paroles, il congédia l'assemblée.
Acts 19
New King James Version
Paul at Ephesus
19 And it happened, while (A)Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through (B)the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, (C)“We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, (D)“Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, (E)“John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized (F)in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had (G)laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and (H)they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
8 (I)And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading (J)concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But (K)when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil (L)of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And (M)this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Miracles Glorify Christ
11 Now (N)God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 (O)so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 13 (P)Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists (Q)took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, [a]“We [b]exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul (R)preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, [c]overpowered them, and prevailed against [d]them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and (S)fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many who had believed came (T)confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 (U)So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
The Riot at Ephesus
21 (V)When these things were accomplished, Paul (W)purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through (X)Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, (Y)I must also see Rome.” 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, (Z)Timothy and (AA)Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.
23 And (AB)about that time there arose a great commotion about (AC)the Way. 24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of [e]Diana, brought (AD)no small profit to the craftsmen. 25 He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: “Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade. 26 Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that (AE)they are not gods which are made with hands. 27 So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and [f]her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”
28 Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” 29 So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized (AF)Gaius and (AG)Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions. 30 And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him. 31 Then some of the [g]officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater. 32 Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And (AH)Alexander (AI)motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people. 34 But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
35 And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess [h]Diana, and of the image which fell down from [i]Zeus? 36 Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly. 37 For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of [j]your goddess. 38 Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a [k]case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly. 40 For we are in danger of being [l]called in question for today’s uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering.” 41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

Paul in Ephesus
19 While Apollos(A) was at Corinth,(B) Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus.(C) There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit(D) when[a] you believed?”
They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”
“John’s baptism,” they replied.
4 Paul said, “John’s baptism(E) was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”(F) 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.(G) 6 When Paul placed his hands on them,(H) the Holy Spirit came on them,(I) and they spoke in tongues[b](J) and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.
8 Paul entered the synagogue(K) and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.(L) 9 But some of them(M) became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way.(N) So Paul left them. He took the disciples(O) with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. 10 This went on for two years,(P) so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia(Q) heard the word of the Lord.(R)
11 God did extraordinary miracles(S) through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured(T) and the evil spirits left them.
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits(U) tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus(V) whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus,(W) they were all seized with fear,(X) and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. 18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. 19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.[c] 20 In this way the word of the Lord(Y) spread widely and grew in power.(Z)
21 After all this had happened, Paul decided[d] to go to Jerusalem,(AA) passing through Macedonia(AB) and Achaia.(AC) “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.”(AD) 22 He sent two of his helpers,(AE) Timothy(AF) and Erastus,(AG) to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia(AH) a little longer.
The Riot in Ephesus
23 About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.(AI) 24 A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen there. 25 He called them together, along with the workers in related trades, and said: “You know, my friends, that we receive a good income from this business.(AJ) 26 And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus(AK) and in practically the whole province of Asia.(AL) He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.(AM) 27 There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited; and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty.”
28 When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”(AN) 29 Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius(AO) and Aristarchus,(AP) Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia,(AQ) and all of them rushed into the theater together. 30 Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples(AR) would not let him. 31 Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theater.
32 The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another.(AS) Most of the people did not even know why they were there. 33 The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front, and they shouted instructions to him. He motioned(AT) for silence in order to make a defense before the people. 34 But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”(AU)
35 The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians,(AV) doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? 36 Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. 37 You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples(AW) nor blasphemed our goddess. 38 If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen(AX) have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls.(AY) They can press charges. 39 If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. 40 As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.” 41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
