使徒行传 28
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
保罗在马尔他岛上的经历
28 我们脱险之后，才知道那岛名叫马尔他。 2 当地的人对我们非常友善；因为下过一场雨，天气又冷，他们就生了火来招待我们。 3 保罗拾了一捆干柴，放在火上的时候，有一条毒蛇，受不住热，爬了出来，缠住他的手。 4 当地的人看见那条蛇悬在他手上，就彼此说：“这个人一定是凶手，虽然从海里脱险，天理也不容他活着！” 5 但是保罗却把那条蛇抖在火里，自己一点也没有受伤。 6 他们等着看他发肿，或者忽然暴毙。但等了很久，见他平安无事，就转念说，他是个神明。 7 那地附近有些田产，是岛上的首领部百流所拥有的。他欢迎我们，善意招待我们三天。 8 那时，部百流的父亲患了痢疾，发热卧病在床，保罗到他那里，为他祈祷按手，医好了他。 9 这么一来，岛上其他有病的都来了，也都治好了。 10 他们多方面尊敬我们；到开船的时候，又把我们所需要的东西送来。
保罗抵达罗马
11 过了三个月，我们上了一艘亚历山太来的船。这船在岛上过冬，船的名字是“宙斯双子”。 12 到了叙拉古，我们停留了三天。 13 从那里绕道航行，来到利基翁。过了一天，起了南风，第二天到达部丢利。 14 我们在那里遇见一些弟兄，他们邀请我们一同住了七天。这样，我们就来到了罗马。 15 弟兄们听到了我们的消息，就从罗马出来，在亚比乌和三馆迎接我们。保罗见了他们，就感谢 神，胆子也壮了起来。
保罗在罗马传道
16 我们到了罗马，保罗获准独自与看守他的士兵居住。 17 过了三天，保罗请犹太人的首领来。他们都到了，保罗说：“各位弟兄，我虽然没有作过甚么事反对人民或者反对祖先的规例，却像囚犯被逮捕，从耶路撒冷交到罗马人的手里。 18 他们审讯之后，因为在我身上没有甚么该死的罪，就想要释放我。 19 可是犹太人反对，我迫不得已才上诉凯撒，并不是有甚么事要控告我的国民。 20 因此，我请你们来见面谈谈。我原是为了以色列的盼望，才带上这条锁炼的。” 21 他们说：“我们没有收到犹太来的信，是提到你的，弟兄中也没有人来报告，或说你甚么坏话。 22 但我们觉得应该听听你本人的意见，因为关于这教派，我们知道是到处遭人反对的。”
23 他们和保罗约好了一个日子，到那日有很多人到他的住所来见他。他从早到晚向他们讲解，为 神的国竭力作见证，引用摩西的律法和先知的话劝他们信耶稣。 24 他所说的话，有人信服，也有人不信。 25 他们彼此不合，就分散了。未散以前，保罗说了几句话：“圣灵藉以赛亚先知对你们祖先所说的，一点不错。 26 他说：
‘你去告诉这人民：
你们听是听见了，总是不明白；
看是看见了，总是不领悟。
27 因为这人民的心思迟钝，
用不灵的耳朵去听，
又闭上了眼睛；
免得自己眼睛看见，
耳朵听见，
心里明白，回转过来，
我就医好他们。’
28 所以你们应当知道， 神这救恩，已经传给外族人，他们也必听从。”（有些抄本在此有第29节：“他说了这话，犹太人中间大起争论，就走了。”）
30 保罗在自己所租的房子里，住了整整两年。凡来见他的人，他都接待， 31 并且放胆地传讲 神的国，教导有关主耶稣基督的事，没有受到甚么禁止。
Acts 28
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
28 And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.
2 For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain, and of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.
5 And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.
6 But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.
7 Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.
9 Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:
10 Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.
12 And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.
13 From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli;
14 Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went to Rome.
15 And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and took courage.
16 And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
17 And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
18 Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;
19 But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.
20 For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, neither did any of the brethren that came hither, relate or speak any evil of thee.
22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that it is everywhere contradicted.
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.
24 And some believed the things that were said; but some believed not.
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet,
26 Saying: Go to this people, and say to them: With the ear you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
27 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut; lest perhaps they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.
