使徒行传 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗在腓利斯面前受审
24 五天后，大祭司亚拿尼亚带着几个长老和一位叫帖土罗的律师下到凯撒利亚，向总督控告保罗。 2 保罗被传来后，帖土罗指控他说：“腓利斯大人深谋远虑，在大人的领导下，国中有许多改革，我们常享太平。 3 我们对大人的恩德感激不尽。 4 我不敢耽误大人太久，只求大人容我们简单叙述。 5 我们发现这个人惹事生非，到处煽动犹太人闹事。他是拿撒勒教派的一个头目， 6 企图玷污圣殿，被我们抓住了。我们想按照犹太律法处置他， 7 不料吕西亚千夫长却硬把他从我们手中抢走， 8 并命令告他的人到大人这里来。[a]大人亲自审问他，就会知道我们告他的事了。” 9 在场的犹太人也随声附和，表示这些事属实。
保罗的申辩
10 总督点头示意保罗可以发言，于是保罗说：“我知道大人在犹太执法多年，我很乐意在你面前为自己辩护。 11 大人明鉴，从我上耶路撒冷礼拜至今不过十二天。 12 这些人根本没有见过我在圣殿、会堂或城里与人争辩，聚众闹事。 13 他们对我的指控毫无根据。 14 但有一点我必须承认，就是我依循他们称之为异端的道事奉我们祖先的上帝，我也相信律法书和先知书的一切记载， 15 并且我与他们在上帝面前有同样的盼望，就是义人和不义的人都要复活。 16 因此，我一直尽力在上帝和人面前都做到问心无愧。
17 “我离开耶路撒冷已有多年，这次回来是带着捐款要周济同胞，并献上祭物。 18 他们看见我的时候，我已行过洁净礼，正在圣殿里献祭，没有聚众，也没有作乱。 19 当时只有几个从亚细亚来的犹太人在那里，如果他们有事要告我，应该到你这里告我； 20 不然，请这些出庭的人指出他们在公会审问我时发现了什么罪。 21 如果有，也无非是当时我站在他们当中喊了一句，‘我今天在你们面前受审与死人复活有关。’”
22 腓利斯原本对这道颇有认识，于是下令休庭，说：“等吕西亚千夫长抵达后，我再断你们的案子。” 23 他派百夫长看守保罗，给他一定的自由，也允许亲友来供应他的需要。
24 几天后，腓利斯和他的妻子犹太人土西拉一同来了，召见保罗，听他讲信基督耶稣的事。 25 当保罗讲到公义、节制和将来的审判时，腓利斯十分恐惧，说：“你先下去吧，改天有机会，我再叫你来。” 26 腓利斯希望保罗贿赂他，所以经常召他来谈话。 27 过了两年，波求·非斯都接任总督，腓利斯为了讨好犹太人，仍然把保罗留在监里。

24 μετα δε πεντε ημερας κατεβη ο αρχιερευς ανανιας μετα πρεσβυτερων τινων και ρητορος τερτυλλου τινος οιτινες ενεφανισαν τω ηγεμονι κατα του παυλου
2 κληθεντος δε [αυτου] ηρξατο κατηγορειν ο τερτυλλος λεγων [24 3] πολλης ειρηνης τυγχανοντες δια σου και διορθωματων γινομενων τω εθνει τουτω δια της σης προνοιας
3 παντη τε και πανταχου αποδεχομεθα κρατιστε φηλιξ μετα πασης ευχαριστιας
4 ινα δε μη επι πλειον σε εγκοπτω παρακαλω ακουσαι σε ημων συντομως τη ση επιεικεια
5 ευροντες γαρ τον ανδρα τουτον λοιμον και κινουντα στασεις πασιν τοις ιουδαιοις τοις κατα την οικουμενην πρωτοστατην τε της των ναζωραιων αιρεσεως

7 8 παρ ου δυνηση αυτος ανακρινας περι παντων τουτων επιγνωναι ων ημεις κατηγορουμεν αυτου
9 συνεπεθεντο δε και οι ιουδαιοι φασκοντες ταυτα ουτως εχειν
10 απεκριθη τε ο παυλος νευσαντος αυτω του ηγεμονος λεγειν εκ πολλων ετων οντα σε κριτην τω εθνει τουτω επισταμενος ευθυμως τα περι εμαυτου απολογουμαι
11 δυναμενου σου επιγνωναι οτι ου πλειους εισιν μοι ημεραι δωδεκα αφ ης ανεβην προσκυνησων εις ιερουσαλημ

20 η αυτοι ουτοι ειπατωσαν τι ευρον αδικημα σταντος μου επι του συνεδριου
21 η περι μιας ταυτης φωνης ης εκεκραξα εν αυτοις εστως οτι περι αναστασεως νεκρων εγω κρινομαι σημερον εφ υμων

Acts 24
King James Version
24 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Acts 24
New King James Version
Accused of Sedition
24 Now after (A)five days (B)Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: “Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and [a]prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight, 3 we accept it always and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 4 Nevertheless, not to be tedious to you any further, I beg you to hear, by your [b]courtesy, a few words from us. 5 (C)For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 6 (D)He even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him, [c]and wanted (E)to judge him according to our law. 7 (F)But the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands, 8 (G)commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.” 9 And the Jews also [d]assented, maintaining that these things were so.
The Defense Before Felix
10 Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: “Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself, 11 because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem (H)to worship. 12 (I)And they neither found me in the temple disputing with anyone nor inciting the crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city. 13 Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. 14 But this I confess to you, that according to (J)the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the (K)God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in (L)the Law and in the Prophets. 15 (M)I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, (N)that there will be a resurrection [e]of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. 16 (O)This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.
17 “Now after many years (P)I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation, 18 (Q)in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me (R)purified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult. 19 (S)They ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me. 20 Or else let those who are here themselves say [f]if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council, 21 unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, (T)‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.’ ”
Felix Procrastinates
22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the (U)Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When (V)Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.” 23 So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty, and (W)told him not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or visit him.
24 And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the (X)faith in Christ. 25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.” 26 Meanwhile he also hoped that (Y)money would be given him by Paul, [g]that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus succeeded Felix; and Felix, (Z)wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.
