往馬其頓及希臘

20 騷亂平息以後,保羅派人把門徒請了來,勸勉一番,就辭別起行,往馬其頓去。 他走遍那一帶地方,用許多話勸勉眾人,然後來到希臘。 他在那裡住了三個月,正要坐船往敘利亞去的時候,有些猶太人設計要害他,他就決意路經馬其頓回去。 與他同行的有比里亞人畢羅斯的兒子所巴特,帖撒羅尼迦人亞里達古和西公都,特庇人該猶和提摩太,亞西亞人推基古和特羅非摩。 這些人先走,在特羅亞等候我們。 至於我們,過了除酵節才從腓立比開船,五天後到特羅亞他們那裡,逗留了七天。

在特羅亞使猶推古復活

禮拜日,我們聚會擘餅的時候,保羅對大家講道,他因第二天就要起行,就一直講到半夜。 我們聚會的那座樓上,有許多燈火。 有一個少年人,名叫猶推古,坐在窗臺上,因為保羅講得很長,他很困倦,沉沉地睡著了,就從三樓跌下來;把他扶起來的時候,已經死了。 10 保羅走下去,伏在他身上;把他抱住,說:“你們不要驚慌,他還活著。” 11 隨即回到樓上,擘餅吃了,又講了很久,直到天亮才走。 12 他們把活著的孩子帶走,得到很大的安慰。

從特羅亞往米利都

13 我們先上船,開往亞朔,照著保羅的安排,要在那邊接他,因為他自己要走陸路去。 14 他在亞朔與我們會合,我們接他上船,去到米推利尼。 15 從那裡開船,第二天到了基阿對面,過了一天就在撒摩靠岸,再過一天到了米利都。 16 原來保羅決定越過以弗所,免得在亞西亞耽擱時間,因為他希望能在五旬節趕到耶路撒冷。

保羅勸勉以弗所的長老

17 他從米利都派人去以弗所,請教會的長老來。 18 他們到了,保羅說:“你們知道,自從我到了亞西亞的第一天,我一直怎樣跟你們相處, 19 怎樣服事主,凡事謙卑,常常流淚,忍受猶太人謀害的試煉。 20 你們也知道,我從來沒有留下一件有益的事,不在眾人面前或在各人家裡告訴你們,教導你們。 21 我對猶太人和希臘人都作過見證,要他們悔改歸向 神,信靠我們的主耶穌。 22 現在,我的心靈受到催逼,要去耶路撒冷,我不知道在那裡會遭遇甚麼事, 23 只知道在各城裡聖靈都向我指明,說有捆鎖和患難在等著我。 24 但我並不珍惜自己的性命,只求跑完我的路程,完成我從主耶穌所領受的職分,為 神恩惠的福音作見證。

25 “我曾在你們那裡走遍各地,宣揚 神的國。現在,我知道你們眾人不會再見我的面了。 26 所以我今天向你們作證,我是清白的,與眾人的罪(“罪”原文作“血”)無關。 27 因為 神的全部計劃,我已經毫無保留地傳給你們了。 28 聖靈既然立你們為全群的監督,牧養 神用自己的血所贖來的教會,你們就應當為自己謹慎,也為全群謹慎。 29 我知道在我離開之後,必有兇暴的豺狼進入你們中間,不顧惜羊群。 30 你們自己中間也必有人起來,講些歪曲悖謬的話,引誘門徒跟從他們。 31 所以你們應當警醒,記念我三年之久,晝夜不停地帶著眼淚勸戒你們各人。 32 現在我把你們交託給 神和他恩惠的道;這道能建立你們,也能在所有成聖的人中賜基業給你們。 33 我從來沒有貪圖任何人的金銀或衣服。 34 我這兩隻手,供應了我和同伴的需要,這是你們自己知道的。 35 我凡事以身作則,你們必須照樣辛勞,扶助軟弱的人,並且記念主耶穌的話:‘施比受更為有福。’”

36 他說了這些話,就跪下來同大家一起禱告。 37 眾人都痛哭,抱著保羅,與他親吻。 38 他們最傷心的,是保羅說他們不會再見他的面那句話。最後他們送他上了船。

20 乱定之后,保罗请门徒来,劝勉他们,就辞别起行,往马其顿去。 走遍了那一带地方,用许多话劝勉门徒[a],然后来到希腊 在那里住了三个月,将要坐船往叙利亚去,犹太人设计要害他,他就定意从马其顿回去。 同他到亚细亚去的,有庇哩亚毕罗斯的儿子所巴特帖撒罗尼迦亚里达古西公都,还有特庇该犹提摩太,又有亚细亚推基古特罗非摩 这些人先走,在特罗亚等候我们。 过了除酵的日子,我们从腓立比开船,五天到了特罗亚,和他们相会,在那里住了七天。

保罗在特罗亚使犹推古复活

七日的第一日,我们聚会掰饼的时候,保罗因为要次日起行,就与他们讲论,直讲到半夜。 我们聚会的那座楼上,有好些灯烛。 有一个少年人名叫犹推古,坐在窗台上,困倦沉睡。保罗讲了多时,少年人睡熟了,就从三层楼上掉下去。扶起他来,已经死了。 10 保罗下去,伏在他身上,抱着他说:“你们不要发慌,他的灵魂还在身上。” 11 保罗又上去,掰饼吃了,谈论许久,直到天亮,这才走了。 12 有人把那童子活活地领来,得的安慰不小。

13 我们先上船开往亚朔去,意思要在那里接保罗;因为他是这样安排的,他自己打算要步行。 14 他既在亚朔与我们相会,我们就接他上船,来到米推利尼 15 从那里开船,次日到了基阿的对面;又次日,在撒摩靠岸;又次日,来到米利都 16 乃因保罗早已定意越过以弗所,免得在亚细亚耽延;他急忙前走,巴不得赶五旬节能到耶路撒冷

17 保罗米利都打发人往以弗所去,请教会的长老来。 18 他们来了,保罗就说:“你们知道自从我到亚细亚的日子以来,在你们中间始终为人如何, 19 服侍主凡事谦卑,眼中流泪,又因犹太人的谋害经历试炼。 20 你们也知道,凡于你们有益的,我没有一样避讳不说的,或在众人面前,或在各人家里,我都教导你们。 21 又对犹太人和希腊人证明当向神悔改,信靠我主耶稣基督。 22 现在我往耶路撒冷去,心甚迫切[b],不知道在那里要遇见什么事。 23 但知道圣灵在各城里向我指证,说有捆锁与患难等待我。 24 我却不以性命为念,也不看为宝贵,只要行完我的路程,成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事,证明神恩惠的福音。

谨慎劝勉

25 “我素常在你们中间来往,传讲神国的道,如今我晓得,你们以后都不得再见我的面了。 26 所以我今日向你们证明,你们中间无论何人死亡,罪不在我身上[c] 27 因为神的旨意我并没有一样避讳不传给你们的。 28 圣灵立你们做全群的监督,你们就当为自己谨慎,也为全群谨慎,牧养神的教会,就是他用自己血所买来的[d] 29 我知道我去之后,必有凶暴的豺狼进入你们中间,不爱惜羊群。 30 就是你们中间也必有人起来,说悖谬的话,要引诱门徒跟从他们。 31 所以你们应当警醒,记念我三年之久昼夜不住地流泪劝诫你们各人。 32 如今我把你们交托神和他恩惠的道,这道能建立你们,叫你们和一切成圣的人同得基业。 33 我未曾贪图一个人的金、银、衣服。 34 我这两只手常供给我和同人的需用,这是你们自己知道的。 35 我凡事给你们做榜样,叫你们知道应当这样劳苦扶助软弱的人,又当记念主耶稣的话说:‘施比受更为有福。’”

保罗同众人祷告辞别他们

36 保罗说完了这话,就跪下同众人祷告。 37 众人痛哭,抱着保罗的颈项,和他亲嘴。 38 叫他们最伤心的,就是他说“以后不能再见我的面”那句话。于是送他上船去了。

保罗再访马其顿和希腊

20 这场风波平息后,保罗召集众门徒勉励一番后,便辞别他们去了马其顿。 他走遍那一带,用许多劝勉的话鼓励当地的门徒。之后,他又去希腊, 在那里逗留了三个月。当保罗正要乘船去叙利亚时,听闻犹太人计划要害他,就决定经马其顿回去。 同他到亚细亚去的人有庇哩亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特、帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古和西公都,还有特庇人该犹、提摩太、亚细亚人推基古和特罗非摩。 他们先到特罗亚等候我们。 除酵节过后,我们从腓立比启航,五天后在特罗亚和他们会合,大家同住了七天。

犹推古死而复活

七日的第一日[a],我们聚会掰饼,保罗因为次日要离开,就向他们讲道,直到深夜。 我们聚会的楼上整夜灯火通明。 有个名叫犹推古的青年坐在窗台上听道。保罗讲了许久,犹推古不胜困倦睡着了,竟从三楼掉了下去。别人将他抱起来时,他已经死了。 10 保罗下去伏在他身上,抱着他对众人说:“不要惊慌,他还活着!” 11 保罗说完就回到楼上,与大家一同掰饼、用餐,又谈了很久,直到天亮才离去。 12 大家非常欣慰地把活过来的犹推古送回了家。

保罗告别以弗所的众长老

13 我们照保罗的吩咐先乘船到亚朔预备在那里接他,他打算由陆路步行到那里。 14 他到了亚朔,我们接他上船,一同前往米推利尼。 15 我们从米推利尼启航,第二天到了基阿附近,第三天到达撒摩,第四天在米利都停泊。 16 保罗急于赶回耶路撒冷,希望在五旬节前赶到,所以决定不去以弗所,免得在亚细亚境内耽误太久。

17 保罗从米利都派人到以弗所请教会的长老前来与他相会。 18 他们都来了,保罗说:“各位,自从我踏进亚细亚那天起,在你们当中为人如何,你们都很清楚。 19 我含着眼泪谦卑地事奉主,又遭到犹太人的迫害,历尽艰辛。 20 你们也知道,凡是对你们有益的事,我没有避而不宣,我总是在公开场合和各人家中教导你们。 21 我劝犹太人和希腊人都要悔改,归向上帝,信靠主耶稣基督。 22 现在,我在圣灵的催促下去耶路撒冷,不知道在那里会发生什么事, 23 只知道圣灵在各城镇指示我,前面必有监禁和苦难等着我。 24 不过,只要能跑完我当跑的路程,完成主耶稣交托给我的使命——为上帝充满恩典的福音做见证,就是牺牲性命,我也在所不惜。

25 “我一向在你们中间传扬上帝的国,如今我知道,以后你们再也见不到我的面了。 26 所以今天我向你们声明,将来你们有谁灭亡,与我无关。 27 因为上帝的整个计划,我没有向你们避而不宣。 28 你们要为自己,也要为教会的群羊警醒,因为圣灵已经任命你们做群羊的监督,牧养上帝的教会。教会是主用自己的血赎回来的。 29 我知道,在我离开以后,一定会有凶恶的豺狼闯进你们中间,残害羊群。 30 就是你们中间也会有人起来歪曲真理,引诱门徒跟随他们。 31 所以你们一定要警醒,牢记这三年来我怎样昼夜不住地流着泪劝诫你们。

32 “现在,我把你们交托给上帝和祂充满恩典的道,这道能造就你们,使你们与一切圣洁的人同得产业。 33 我从未贪图别人的金银和衣服, 34 你们都知道,我亲手做工养活自己和同工。 35 我凡事以身作则,教导你们勤奋工作,帮助软弱的人,并牢记主耶稣的话,‘施比受更有福。’”

36 保罗说完这番话,就和大家一同跪下祷告。 37 众人都哭了,抱着保罗与他亲吻, 38 最使他们伤心的就是他说“你们再也见不到我的面了”。最后,众人送他上了船。

  1. 20:7 照犹太人的算法,太阳下山后为一日的开始,基督徒又以礼拜天为一周之始,所以七日的第一日很有可能是礼拜六晚上。

20 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

These going before tarried for us at Troas.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.

14 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
