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。

使徒行傳 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
23 保羅注視著公會的人，說：「弟兄們，我在上帝面前行事為人一向問心無愧。」 2 大祭司亞拿尼亞一聽，就命那些站在旁邊的人打保羅的嘴。 3 保羅對亞拿尼亞說：「你這偽君子[a]，上帝要擊打你！你坐在那裡不是應當依法審問我嗎？你怎麼違法叫人打我？」
4 站在旁邊的人說：「你竟敢辱罵上帝的大祭司？」 5 保羅說：「弟兄們，我不知道他是大祭司。我知道聖經上說，『不可咒詛百姓的官長。』」
6 保羅發現他們一些是法利賽人，一些是撒都該人，就在公會中高聲說：「弟兄們，我是法利賽人，也是法利賽人的子孫。我因為盼望死人復活，才在這裡受審！」 7 這句話立刻引起法利賽人和撒都該人之間的爭論，公會分成了兩派。 8 因為撒都該人認為沒有復活，也沒有天使和靈，而法利賽人認為這些都有。
9 眾人大聲喧嚷，有幾個法利賽派的律法教師站起來爭辯說：「我們找不出這人有什麼錯處，也許真的有靈或天使跟他說過話。」 10 爭論越來越激烈，千夫長怕保羅會被他們扯碎了，就派人把他從人群中救出來，帶回軍營。
11 當天晚上，主站在保羅身旁對他說：「要勇敢！正如你在耶路撒冷為我作了見證，你也必須在羅馬為我做見證。」
陰謀殺害保羅
12 天亮後，猶太人設下陰謀，並起誓說：「不殺保羅，誓不吃喝！」 13 有四十多人參與了這個陰謀。 14 他們去見祭司長和長老，說：「我們已經發了誓，不殺保羅不吃飯。 15 請你們和公會出面通知千夫長，請他把保羅押到你們這裡來，就說要進一步審訊他。我們準備在他到達之前殺掉他！」
16 保羅的外甥聽到這一陰謀，就去軍營通知保羅。 17 保羅請來一位百夫長，說：「請趕快帶這青年去見千夫長，他有要事稟告！」 18 百夫長領那青年去見千夫長，說：「那囚犯保羅叫我帶這青年來，說有要事稟告。」
19 千夫長就拉著那青年的手走到一旁，私下問他：「你有什麼事要告訴我？」 20 他說：「那些猶太人約好了，要請求你明天帶保羅到公會受審，假裝要詳細審問他的事。 21 你不要答應他們，因為他們有四十多個人會埋伏在半路，並且還起誓說，『不殺保羅就不吃不喝』。他們現在已經準備就緒，就等你答應了。」
22 千夫長聽後，就叫他回去，並叮囑道：「你向我稟告的事，不要告訴別人。」
保羅被押往凱撒利亞
23 於是，千夫長召來兩名百夫長，吩咐道：「預備二百名步兵、七十名騎兵、二百名長槍手，今晚九時出發去凱撒利亞。 24 要給保羅預備坐騎，護送他安全抵達腓利斯總督那裡。」
25 千夫長寫了公文給腓利斯總督，內容如下： 26 「克勞狄·呂西亞敬問腓利斯總督大人安。 27 這人被猶太人抓住，險些被他們殺害。我得知他是羅馬公民，便帶兵去救了他。 28 為了弄清楚他們控告他的緣由，我押他到猶太人的公會受審， 29 發現他被控告與他們的律法有關，他並沒有犯該被監禁或處死的罪。 30 我得知有人準備暗殺他，便立即護送他到你那裡，並通知他的控告者去你那裡告他。」
31 軍兵奉命行事，連夜護送保羅到安提帕底。 32 第二天，由騎兵繼續護送，其餘軍兵返回軍營。 33 他們到了凱撒利亞，將公文呈交總督，把保羅交給他。 34 總督看過公文，便問保羅是哪省的人，得知保羅是基利迦人，就說： 35 「等告你的人來了，我會審理你的案子。」於是下令把保羅關在希律的王府裡。

使 徒 行 傳 23
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
23 保罗的目光直视议会的人们，说∶“同胞们，时至今日，我在上帝的面前，一直过着清白良知的生活。” 2 听罢，大祭司亚拿尼亚命令站在保罗旁边的人，骟他的嘴巴。 3 保罗却对他说∶“上帝会打你的，你这堵白粉墙！你坐在那里，依法审判我，可却下令让人打我，你自己就违犯了律法。”
4 站在保罗周围的人说∶“你竟敢侮辱上帝的大祭司吗？”
5 保罗说∶“同胞们，我不知道他是大祭司。因为经上写着∶‘你不许讲自己的民族的统治者的坏话。’”
6 当保罗发觉在场的人中间一部分人是撒都该人，另一部分则是法利赛人时，就在议会里大声说道∶“同胞们，我是法利赛人，是法利赛人的儿子！我受审，仅仅是因为我盼望死者复活。”
7 当他说到这里时，法利赛人和撒都该人之间开始了辩论，议会也分裂了。 8 （撒都该人相信人死后不会成为天使和灵而复活，而法利赛人则相信二者。） 9 喧吵声越来越大，法利赛人中的一些律法师站起身来，激烈地辩论道∶“我们没有发现这个人有任何过错，也许有一位灵或天使的确对他说过话。”
10 争论愈加激烈了。指挥官甚至担心保罗会被他们扯成碎片。于是便命令士兵把保罗从他们中间夺过来，带进军营。
11 那天夜里，主站在保罗的身旁说∶“要有勇气。就像你曾在耶路撒冷为我做见证一样，你也必须在罗马作见证。”
一些犹太人秘谋杀害保罗
12 天亮的时候，一些犹太人聚在一起密谋，他们起誓说，直到杀死保罗，他们才吃才喝。 13 参与这个阴谋的人有四十多人， 14 他们去见祭司长和年长的犹太首领说∶“我们已经起誓，直到杀死保罗，我们不吃任何食物。 15 那么现在，你们和议会可以请求指挥官把保罗带到你们这里来，装作要更加仔细地审查这个案子，我们将准备好在他到这儿之前，杀掉他。”
16 保罗的外甥得知了这个阴谋，就进了兵营，把这个消息告诉了他。 17 保罗叫过来一个军官，对他说∶“把这个年轻人带到指挥官那里，他有话要对他说。” 18 军官把他带到指挥官面前，说∶“犯人保罗让我把这个年青人带到你这里来，他有话要对你说。”
19 指挥官拉着他的手，把他带到一边，问他∶“你有什么事要告诉我？”
20 年轻人说∶“犹太人商量好了，明天请求你把保罗带到议会，假装是他们要更加仔细地审问他。 21 不要听他们的，因为他们有四十多个人要埋伏好，等着他，他们发誓说直到杀死保罗，他们才吃才喝。现在他们已经准备好了，只等你同意了。”
22 指挥官让他下去，并嘱咐他道∶“不要向任何人提起你向我汇报过这些事情。”
保罗被押往该撒利亚
23 指挥官叫来两个军官，对他们说∶“预备二百个步兵，连同七十个骑兵和二百个长矛手，准备去该撒利亚。今晚九点出发， 24 给保罗备些马去骑，让他安全地到达腓力斯总督那里。” 25 他又写了一封信，内容如下：
26 “克劳迪吕西亚向腓力斯总督大人请安！
27 此人被犹太人捉拿，就要被害时，我和我的士兵前去营救了他， 28 因为我了解到他是一位罗马公民，所以我想查清他们控告他的原因，就把他带到了他们的议会。 29 我并没有发现他犯有什么该死或该囚禁的罪状，他们对他的起诉，无非是一些涉及到关于他们自己律法上的问题。 30 我得知有人设计谋对付他，所以，立即将他送到你处，我下令，让控告他的人，在你的面前陈述对他的起诉。”
31 士兵们执行了命令。他们带着保罗连夜前往安提帕底。 32 第二天，步兵返回了兵营。骑兵继续护送保罗。 33 到达该撒利亚后，他们便把信交给了总督，并把保罗也交给了他。 34 总督读了那封信后，问保罗是哪一个省的人，当得知他的籍贯是基利家时， 35 就说∶“指控你的那些人一到，我就会听你的案子。”他命令，把保罗看管在希律的宫殿里。
Acts 23
Expanded Bible
23 Paul looked [L intently] at the ·council [Sanhedrin; 22:30] and said, “[L Men,] Brothers, I have ·lived my life [conducted myself; L lived as a citizen] ·without guilt feelings [L with a good/clear conscience] before God up to this day.” 2 Ananias, the high priest [C high priest from ad 47 to 58; not the man named in 22:12], heard this and told the men who were standing near Paul to ·hit [strike] him on the mouth. 3 Paul said to ·Ananias [L him], “God ·will [or is about to] ·hit [strike] you, too! You ·are like a wall that has been painted white [whitewashed wall!; C a wall with many flaws covered only by a coat of paint]. ·You sit [L Do you sit…?] there and judge me, using the ·law of Moses [L law], but you are telling them to hit me, and that is against the law.”
4 The men standing near Paul said to him, “·You cannot insult [or How dare you insult; L Are you insulting…?] God’s high priest like that!”
5 Paul said, “Brothers, I did not know this man was the high priest [C perhaps because of poor eyesight (Gal. 4:15; 6:11), or because the high priest was not in his formal vestments, or Paul is speaking ironically]. It is written in the Scriptures, ‘You must not ·curse [L speak evil of] a leader of your people [Ex. 22:28].’” 6 Some of the men in the meeting were Sadducees [C Jewish religious party with most influence in the Jewish high court (Sanhedrin) and among the Temple leadership; 4:1], and others were Pharisees [C religious party that strictly observed OT laws and added traditions; 5:34]. ·Knowing [or Realizing] this, Paul ·shouted [called out] ·to them [L in the council/Sanhedrin], “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, ·and my father was a Pharisee [or descended from Pharisees; L a son of Pharisees]. I am on trial here because ·I believe that people will rise from the dead [L of the hope and the resurrection].”
7 When Paul said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the ·group [assembly] was divided. 8 ([L For] The Sadducees ·do not believe that people will rise from the dead [L say there is no resurrection] nor do they believe in angels or spirits. But the Pharisees believe in them all.) 9 So there was a great ·uproar [commotion; outcry]. Some of the ·teachers of the law [scribes], who were Pharisees, stood up and ·argued [protested violently/vehemently], “We find ·nothing wrong [no fault; nothing evil] with this man. ·Maybe [L What if…?] an angel or a spirit did speak to him.”
10 The argument was ·beginning to turn into such a fight [becoming so great] that the ·commander [tribune] was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. So he told the soldiers to go down and take Paul away and ·put him in [bring him to] the ·army building [barracks].
11 The next night the Lord came and stood by Paul. He said, “Be brave [or Don’t be afraid; Rest assured]! [L For just as] You have ·told [testified to] people in Jerusalem about me. You must ·do the same [L testify to me] in Rome.”
12 In the morning ·some of Paul’s Jewish opponents [L the Jews] ·made a plan [entered a conspiracy] to kill Paul, and they took an oath not to eat or drink anything until they had killed him. 13 There were more than forty men who ·made this plan [formed this conspiracy]. 14 They went to the ·leading [T chief] priests and the elders and said, “We have ·taken [sworn] an oath not to ·eat or drink [L taste anything] until we have killed Paul. 15 So [L now] this is what we want you [L together with the Sanhedrin] to do: Send a message to the ·commander [tribune] to bring Paul out to you as though you want to ·ask him more questions [L determine more accurately the facts of his case]. We will be waiting to kill him ·while he is on the way [before he arrives] here.”
16 But ·Paul’s nephew [L the son of Paul’s sister] heard about this ·plan [plot; L ambush plan] and went to the ·army building [barracks] and told Paul. 17 Then Paul called one of the ·officers [centurions] and said, “Take this young man to the ·commander [tribune]. [L For] He has ·a message for him [L something to report to him].”
18 So ·the officer [L he] brought ·Paul’s nephew [L him] to the ·commander [tribune] and said, “The prisoner, Paul, [L called me over and] asked me to bring this young man to you. He wants to tell you something.”
19 The ·commander [tribune] took the young man’s hand and led him to a place where they could be alone. He asked, “What do you ·want to tell [have to report to] me?”
20 ·The young man [L He] said, “The Jews have ·decided [conspired; agreed] to ask you to bring Paul down to ·their council meeting [the Sanhedrin] tomorrow. They want you to think they are going to ·ask him more questions [L inquire more accurately concerning him]. 21 But don’t ·believe [be persuaded by] them! [L Because] More than forty men are ·hiding and waiting to kill Paul [L waiting in ambush for him]. They have all taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are [L ready,] waiting for you to agree.”
22 [L Therefore] The ·commander [tribune] sent the young man away, ordering him, “Don’t tell anyone that you have ·told [revealed to] me ·about their plan [L these things].”
Paul Is Sent to Caesarea
23 Then ·the commander [L he] called two ·officers [centurions] and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred men with spears to leave for Caesarea at ·nine o’clock tonight [L at the third hour of the night; C night begins about 6 PM]. 24 Get ·some horses [mounts; L animals] for Paul to ride so he can be taken to Governor Felix [C held office from ad 52–59] safely.” 25 And he wrote a letter ·that said [of this kind; to this effect; L possessing this type/pattern]:
26 From Claudius Lysias.
To the Most Excellent Governor Felix:
Greetings.
27 Some of the Jews had ·taken [seized] this man and ·planned [were about] to kill him. But I learned that he is a Roman citizen, so I went with my soldiers and ·saved [rescued] him. 28 I wanted to know ·why [L the charge/reason] they were accusing him, so I brought him before their ·council meeting [Sanhedrin]. 29 I ·learned [L found; discovered] that the accusation had to do with ·questions [debates; disputed matters] about their own law [C the law of Moses], but no charge was worthy of death or ·jail [chains]. 30 When I was ·told [informed] that ·some of them were planning to kill Paul [L there was a plot against the man], I sent him to you at once. I also ·told [ordered] ·them [L his accusers] to tell you what they have against him.
31 So the soldiers ·did what they were told [followed orders] and took Paul and brought him to the city of Antipatris [C city 40 miles from Jerusalem and 25 miles from Caesarea] that night. 32 The next day the horsemen ·went [were sent] with ·Paul to Caesarea [L him], but the other soldiers went back to the ·army building in Jerusalem [L barracks]. 33 When ·the horsemen [L they] came to Caesarea and ·gave [delivered] the letter to the governor, they turned Paul over to him. 34 The governor read the letter and asked Paul, “What ·area [province] are you from?” When he learned that Paul was from Cilicia [9:11], 35 he said, “I will hear your case when ·those who are against you [your accusers] come here, too.” Then the governor gave orders for Paul to be kept under guard in Herod’s ·palace [headquarters; Praetorium].
