使徒行传 23
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
23 保罗注视着议会的人，说：“各位兄弟，直到今天，我在神面前，行事为人一向都凭着无愧的良心。” 2 大祭司阿纳尼亚就命令站在保罗旁边的人，打他的嘴巴。 3 保罗就对他说：“你这粉饰的墙啊，神将要打你！你坐在那里应按照律法审判我，而你却违背律法，下令打我吗？”
4 站在旁边的人说：“你竟敢辱骂神的大祭司？”
5 保罗就说：“同胞们[a]，我不知道他是大祭司。的确，经上记着：不可说你民中掌权者的坏话。[b]” 6 保罗知道有一部分人是撒都该人，另一部分是法利赛人，就在议会中喊着：“各位兄弟，我是法利赛人，也是法利赛人的儿子。我现在受审，是与死人复活的盼望有关。” 7 他说了这话，法利赛人和撒都该人就起了争执，会众也分裂了。 8 原来撒都该人说没有复活，没有天使，也没有灵，但法利赛人却承认这一切[c]。
9 于是他们大大地喧嚷起来。有些法利赛派的经文士们站起来激烈地争辩，说：“我们查不出这个人有什么错[d]。也许有灵或天使对他说过话呢！[e]” 10 争执越来越激烈，千夫长担心保罗会被他们撕碎，就命令军队下去，把保罗从他们当中抢出来，带回营楼里。
阴谋杀害保罗
11 当夜，主站在保罗旁边，说：“[f]你要鼓起勇气！你怎样在耶路撒冷郑重地见证有关我的事，也必须照样在罗马做见证。”
12 天亮了，犹太人就策划了一起阴谋，并且赌咒起誓说，杀掉保罗以前，就不吃不喝。 13 策划这同谋起誓的有四十多人。 14 他们来到祭司长们和长老们那里，说：“我们已经赌咒起誓，杀掉保罗以前，就什么都不吃。 15 所以你们和议会现在就要告诉千夫长，[g]把保罗带到你们这里来，假装要更详尽地审查他的事；我们预备好了，要在他到达以前就杀了他。”
16 保罗的外甥听见了这埋伏的事，就过来进了营楼告诉保罗。 17 保罗请来了一个百夫长，说：“请带这年轻人到千夫长那里，因为他有事要向他报告。”
18 于是百夫长就带保罗的外甥到千夫长那里去，说：“囚犯保罗请了我去，求我把这个年轻人带到你这里来，他有事要告诉你。”
19 千夫长拉着年轻人的手，退到一边，悄悄地问他：“你有什么事要告诉我？”
20 他说：“犹太人已经说好，要请求你明天把保罗带到议会去，假装要更详尽地查问他的事。 21 所以请你不要被他们说服，因为他们中的四十多人正埋伏等着他。他们已经赌咒起誓说，杀掉保罗以前，就不吃不喝。现在他们预备好了，正期望你答应。”
22 千夫长吩咐那年轻人说：“不要对任何人说，你把这些事告诉了我。”于是，就让他走了。
连夜解送到凯撒里亚
23 然后千夫长叫来两个百夫长，说：“预备两百名步兵、七十名骑兵、两百名长枪手，晚上九点[h]出发往凯撒里亚去。 24 也要预备牲口，让保罗骑上，护送到总督菲利克斯那里去。”
25 他写了一封信函，有这样的内容：
26 “克劳迪吕西亚问候总督菲利克斯大人。
27 这个人被犹太人抓住，正要被他们杀害的时候，我带军队到场，得知他是罗马公民，就把他救了出来。 28 我想了解犹太人控告他的理由，就带他到他们的议会去。 29 我发现他被控告，与他们律法上的争议问题有关，并没有任何该死或该被捆锁的罪行。 30 后来我被告知[i]将有一个针对这个人的阴谋，就立即把他解送到您那里去，又吩咐原告们到您面前去告他。[j]”
31 于是士兵们按照命令，把保罗接走，连夜送到安提帕底。 32 第二天，他们让骑兵带着保罗前行，就回到营楼。 33 骑兵进了凯撒里亚，把信函呈给总督，又把保罗带到他面前。 34 总督[k]读了信，问保罗是哪一个省的人，知道他是奇里乞亚省的人， 35 就说：“等你的原告们也到了，我会详细地听你的事。”他下令把保罗看守在希律的王府里。

使徒行传 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
23 保罗注视着公会的人，说：“弟兄们，我在上帝面前行事为人一向问心无愧。” 2 大祭司亚拿尼亚一听，就命那些站在旁边的人打保罗的嘴。 3 保罗对亚拿尼亚说：“你这伪君子[a]，上帝要击打你！你坐在那里不是应当依法审问我吗？你怎么违法叫人打我？”
4 站在旁边的人说：“你竟敢辱骂上帝的大祭司？” 5 保罗说：“弟兄们，我不知道他是大祭司。我知道圣经上说，‘不可咒诅百姓的官长。’”
6 保罗发现他们一些是法利赛人，一些是撒都该人，就在公会中高声说：“弟兄们，我是法利赛人，也是法利赛人的子孙。我因为盼望死人复活，才在这里受审！” 7 这句话立刻引起法利赛人和撒都该人之间的争论，公会分成了两派。 8 因为撒都该人认为没有复活，也没有天使和灵，而法利赛人认为这些都有。
9 众人大声喧嚷，有几个法利赛派的律法教师站起来争辩说：“我们找不出这人有什么错处，也许真的有灵或天使跟他说过话。” 10 争论越来越激烈，千夫长怕保罗会被他们扯碎了，就派人把他从人群中救出来，带回军营。
11 当天晚上，主站在保罗身旁对他说：“要勇敢！正如你在耶路撒冷为我做了见证，你也必须在罗马为我做见证。”
阴谋杀害保罗
12 天亮后，犹太人设下阴谋，并起誓说：“不杀保罗，誓不吃喝！” 13 有四十多人参与了这个阴谋。 14 他们去见祭司长和长老，说：“我们已经发了誓，不杀保罗不吃饭。 15 请你们和公会出面通知千夫长，请他把保罗押到你们这里来，就说要进一步审讯他。我们准备在他到达之前杀掉他！”
16 保罗的外甥听到这一阴谋，就去军营通知保罗。 17 保罗请来一位百夫长，说：“请赶快带这青年去见千夫长，他有要事禀告！” 18 百夫长领那青年去见千夫长，说：“那囚犯保罗叫我带这青年来，说有要事禀告。”
19 千夫长就拉着那青年的手走到一旁，私下问他：“你有什么事要告诉我？” 20 他说：“那些犹太人约好了，要请求你明天带保罗到公会受审，假装要详细审问他的事。 21 你不要答应他们，因为他们有四十多个人会埋伏在半路，并且还起誓说，‘不杀保罗就不吃不喝’。他们现在已经准备就绪，就等你答应了。”
22 千夫长听后，就叫他回去，并叮嘱道：“你向我禀告的事，不要告诉别人。”
保罗被押往凯撒利亚
23 于是，千夫长召来两名百夫长，吩咐道：“预备二百名步兵、七十名骑兵、二百名长枪手，今晚九时出发去凯撒利亚。 24 要给保罗预备坐骑，护送他安全抵达腓利斯总督那里。”
25 千夫长写了公文给腓利斯总督，内容如下： 26 “克劳狄·吕西亚敬问腓利斯总督大人安。 27 这人被犹太人抓住，险些被他们杀害。我得知他是罗马公民，便带兵去救了他。 28 为了弄清楚他们控告他的缘由，我押他到犹太人的公会受审， 29 发现他被控告与他们的律法有关，他并没有犯该被监禁或处死的罪。 30 我得知有人准备暗杀他，便立即护送他到你那里，并通知他的控告者去你那里告他。”
31 军兵奉命行事，连夜护送保罗到安提帕底。 32 第二天，由骑兵继续护送，其余军兵返回军营。 33 他们到了凯撒利亚，将公文呈交总督，把保罗交给他。 34 总督看过公文，便问保罗是哪省的人，得知保罗是基利迦人，就说： 35 “等告你的人来了，我会审理你的案子。”于是下令把保罗关在希律的王府里。

Acts 23
Modern English Version
23 Paul looked at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” 2 The high priest Ananias ordered those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit judging me according to the law, yet order me to be struck contrary to the law?”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you criticize God’s high priest?”
5 Paul said, “Brothers, I did not know that he was the high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.’[a]”
6 Then Paul, knowing that one sect were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried out among the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee. I am being judged for my hope in the resurrection of the dead.” 7 When he had said this, dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit. But the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
9 There was a great outcry. The scribes that were from the sect of Pharisees stood up and argued, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.” 10 When much dissension arose, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, the commander ordered the soldiers to go down and take him from them by force and bring him into the barracks.
11 The following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, Paul. For as you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify at Rome.”
The Plot Against Paul’s Life
12 At daybreak some of the Jews conspired under oath, saying they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. 13 There were more than forty who had conspired. 14 They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves under oath not to eat until we have killed Paul. 15 So now, with the Sanhedrin, tell the commander to bring him down to you tomorrow, pretending to inquire further concerning him. We are ready to kill him before he arrives.”
16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of the treachery, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions over and said, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him.” 18 So he took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent for me and asked me to bring you this young man who has something to tell you.”
19 Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside privately, and asked him, “What is it you have to tell me?”
20 The boy said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Sanhedrin, pretending to inquire further concerning him. 21 Do not trust them. More than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him, are waiting for him. And now they are ready, waiting for your promise.”
22 The commander dismissed the young man and ordered him, “Tell no one that you have reported these things to me.”
Paul Sent to Felix the Governor
23 Then he summoned two centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred infantrymen, seventy mounted soldiers, and two hundred light infantrymen with spears to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night. 24 And provide mounts so Paul may ride and take him safely to Felix the governor.”
25 He wrote a letter that went like this:
26 Claudius Lysias,
To His Excellency Governor Felix:
Greetings.
27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. When I learned that he was a Roman citizen, I came with soldiers and rescued him. 28 Being minded to learn what crime they alleged, I took him to their Sanhedrin. 29 I found him being accused of controversial matters about their law, but charged with nothing worthy of death or imprisonment. 30 When it was revealed to me that there was a plot against the man, at once I sent him to you and ordered the accusers to state before you their charges against him.
Farewell.
31 So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul by night to Antipatris. 32 The next day they let the cavalry depart with him and they returned to the barracks. 33 When they arrived in Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they presented Paul also to him. 34 Upon reading the letter, the governor asked what province he was from. When he learned that he was from Cilicia, 35 he said, “I will hear you when your accusers also arrive.” And he ordered that he be guarded in Herod’s Praetorium.
