使徒行传 26
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
保罗在亚基帕前为自己分诉
26 亚基帕对保罗说：“准你为自己辩明。”于是保罗伸手分诉说： 2 “亚基帕王啊，犹太人所告我的一切事，今日得在你面前分诉，实为万幸。 3 更可幸的是，你熟悉犹太人的规矩和他们的辩论。所以，求你耐心听我。 4 我从起初在本国的民中，并在耶路撒冷，自幼为人如何，犹太人都知道。 5 他们若肯作见证，就晓得我从起初是按着我们教中最严紧的教门做了法利赛人。 6 现在我站在这里受审，是因为指望神向我们祖宗所应许的。 7 这应许，我们十二个支派昼夜切切地侍奉神，都指望得着。王啊，我被犹太人控告，就是因这指望。 8 神叫死人复活，你们为什么看做不可信的呢？ 9 从前我自己以为应当多方攻击拿撒勒人耶稣的名， 10 我在耶路撒冷也曾这样行了。既从祭司长得了权柄，我就把许多圣徒囚在监里；他们被杀，我也出名定案。 11 在各会堂，我屡次用刑强逼他们说亵渎的话，又分外恼恨他们，甚至追逼他们，直到外邦的城邑。 12 那时，我领了祭司长的权柄和命令，往大马士革去。 13 王啊，我在路上，晌午的时候，看见从天发光，比日头还亮，四面照着我并与我同行的人。 14 我们都仆倒在地，我就听见有声音用希伯来话向我说：‘扫罗，扫罗，为什么逼迫我？你用脚踢刺是难的。’ 15 我说：‘主啊，你是谁？’主说：‘我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。
蒙派到外邦传道
16 “你起来站着！我特意向你显现，要派你做执事，作见证，将你所看见的事和我将要指示你的事证明出来。 17 我也要救你脱离百姓和外邦人的手。 18 我差你到他们那里去，要叫他们的眼睛得开，从黑暗中归向光明，从撒旦权下归向神；又因信我，得蒙赦罪，和一切成圣的人同得基业。’ 19 亚基帕王啊，我故此没有违背那从天上来的异象， 20 先在大马士革，后在耶路撒冷和犹太全地，以及外邦，劝勉他们应当悔改归向神，行事与悔改的心相称。 21 因此犹太人在殿里拿住我，想要杀我。 22 然而我蒙神的帮助，直到今日还站得住，对着尊贵、卑贱、老幼作见证。所讲的并不外乎众先知和摩西所说将来必成的事， 23 就是基督必须受害，并且因从死里复活，要首先把光明的道传给百姓和外邦人。”
非斯都说保罗癫狂
24 保罗这样分诉，非斯都大声说：“保罗，你癫狂了吧！你的学问太大，反叫你癫狂了！” 25 保罗说：“非斯都大人，我不是癫狂，我说的乃是真实明白话。 26 王也晓得这些事，所以我向王放胆直言；我深信这些事没有一件向王隐藏的，因都不是在背地里做的。 27 亚基帕王啊，你信先知吗？我知道你是信的。” 28 亚基帕对保罗说：“你想稍微一劝，便叫我做基督徒啊？[a]” 29 保罗说：“无论是少劝是多劝，我向神所求的，不但你一个人，就是今天一切听我的，都要像我一样，只是不要像我有这些锁链。”
30 于是，王和巡抚并百妮基与同坐的人都起来， 31 退到里面，彼此谈论说：“这人并没有犯什么该死、该绑的罪。” 32 亚基帕又对非斯都说：“这人若没有上告于恺撒，就可以释放了。”

Acts 26
New Living Translation
26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak in your defense.”
So Paul, gesturing with his hand, started his defense: 2 “I am fortunate, King Agrippa, that you are the one hearing my defense today against all these accusations made by the Jewish leaders, 3 for I know you are an expert on all Jewish customs and controversies. Now please listen to me patiently!
4 “As the Jewish leaders are well aware, I was given a thorough Jewish training from my earliest childhood among my own people and in Jerusalem. 5 If they would admit it, they know that I have been a member of the Pharisees, the strictest sect of our religion. 6 Now I am on trial because of my hope in the fulfillment of God’s promise made to our ancestors. 7 In fact, that is why the twelve tribes of Israel zealously worship God night and day, and they share the same hope I have. Yet, Your Majesty, they accuse me for having this hope! 8 Why does it seem incredible to any of you that God can raise the dead?
9 “I used to believe that I ought to do everything I could to oppose the very name of Jesus the Nazarene.[a] 10 Indeed, I did just that in Jerusalem. Authorized by the leading priests, I caused many believers[b] there to be sent to prison. And I cast my vote against them when they were condemned to death. 11 Many times I had them punished in the synagogues to get them to curse Jesus.[c] I was so violently opposed to them that I even chased them down in foreign cities.
12 “One day I was on such a mission to Damascus, armed with the authority and commission of the leading priests. 13 About noon, Your Majesty, as I was on the road, a light from heaven brighter than the sun shone down on me and my companions. 14 We all fell down, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,[d] ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is useless for you to fight against my will.[e]’
15 “‘Who are you, lord?’ I asked.
“And the Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting. 16 Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. Tell people that you have seen me, and tell them what I will show you in the future. 17 And I will rescue you from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending you to the Gentiles 18 to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me.’
19 “And so, King Agrippa, I obeyed that vision from heaven. 20 I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do. 21 Some Jews arrested me in the Temple for preaching this, and they tried to kill me. 22 But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen— 23 that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike.”
24 Suddenly, Festus shouted, “Paul, you are insane. Too much study has made you crazy!”
25 But Paul replied, “I am not insane, Most Excellent Festus. What I am saying is the sober truth. 26 And King Agrippa knows about these things. I speak boldly, for I am sure these events are all familiar to him, for they were not done in a corner! 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do—”
28 Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”[f]
29 Paul replied, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except for these chains.”
30 Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others stood and left. 31 As they went out, they talked it over and agreed, “This man hasn’t done anything to deserve death or imprisonment.”
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “He could have been set free if he hadn’t appealed to Caesar.”
