使徒行传 28
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅在馬爾他島上的經歷
28 我們脫險之後,才知道那島名叫馬爾他。 2 當地的人對我們非常友善;因為下過一場雨,天氣又冷,他們就生了火來招待我們。 3 保羅拾了一捆乾柴,放在火上的時候,有一條毒蛇,受不住熱,爬了出來,纏住他的手。 4 當地的人看見那條蛇懸在他手上,就彼此說:“這個人一定是兇手,雖然從海裡脫險,天理也不容他活著!” 5 但是保羅卻把那條蛇抖在火裡,自己一點也沒有受傷。 6 他們等著看他發腫,或者忽然暴斃。但等了很久,見他平安無事,就轉念說,他是個神明。 7 那地附近有些田產,是島上的首領部百流所擁有的。他歡迎我們,善意招待我們三天。 8 那時,部百流的父親患了痢疾,發熱臥病在床,保羅到他那裡,為他祈禱按手,醫好了他。 9 這麼一來,島上其他有病的都來了,也都治好了。 10 他們多方面尊敬我們;到開船的時候,又把我們所需要的東西送來。
保羅抵達羅馬
11 過了三個月,我們上了一艘亞歷山太來的船。這船在島上過冬,船的名字是“宙斯雙子”。 12 到了敘拉古,我們停留了三天。 13 從那裡繞道航行,來到利基翁。過了一天,起了南風,第二天到達部丟利。 14 我們在那裡遇見一些弟兄,他們邀請我們一同住了七天。這樣,我們就來到了羅馬。 15 弟兄們聽到了我們的消息,就從羅馬出來,在亞比烏和三館迎接我們。保羅見了他們,就感謝 神,膽子也壯了起來。
保羅在羅馬傳道
16 我們到了羅馬,保羅獲准獨自與看守他的士兵居住。 17 過了三天,保羅請猶太人的首領來。他們都到了,保羅說:“各位弟兄,我雖然沒有作過甚麼事反對人民或者反對祖先的規例,卻像囚犯被逮捕,從耶路撒冷交到羅馬人的手裡。 18 他們審訊之後,因為在我身上沒有甚麼該死的罪,就想要釋放我。 19 可是猶太人反對,我迫不得已才上訴凱撒,並不是有甚麼事要控告我的國民。 20 因此,我請你們來見面談談。我原是為了以色列的盼望,才帶上這條鎖鍊的。” 21 他們說:“我們沒有收到猶太來的信,是提到你的,弟兄中也沒有人來報告,或說你甚麼壞話。 22 但我們覺得應該聽聽你本人的意見,因為關於這教派,我們知道是到處遭人反對的。”
23 他們和保羅約好了一個日子,到那日有很多人到他的住所來見他。他從早到晚向他們講解,為 神的國竭力作見證,引用摩西的律法和先知的話勸他們信耶穌。 24 他所說的話,有人信服,也有人不信。 25 他們彼此不合,就分散了。未散以前,保羅說了幾句話:“聖靈藉以賽亞先知對你們祖先所說的,一點不錯。 26 他說:
‘你去告訴這人民:
你們聽是聽見了,總是不明白;
看是看見了,總是不領悟。
27 因為這人民的心思遲鈍,
用不靈的耳朵去聽,
又閉上了眼睛;
免得自己眼睛看見,
耳朵聽見,
心裡明白,回轉過來,
我就醫好他們。’
28 所以你們應當知道, 神這救恩,已經傳給外族人,他們也必聽從。”(有些抄本在此有第29節:“他說了這話,猶太人中間大起爭論,就走了。”)
30 保羅在自己所租的房子裡,住了整整兩年。凡來見他的人,他都接待, 31 並且放膽地傳講 神的國,教導有關主耶穌基督的事,沒有受到甚麼禁止。

在馬爾他島
28 我們安全上岸後,才知道那個島的名字叫馬爾他。 2 島上的居民對我們非常友善。因為下雨,天氣又冷,他們就生火接待我們。 3 保羅拿起一捆柴放進火堆裡,不料有一條毒蛇經不住熱鑽了出來,咬住了他的手。 4 那裡的居民看見毒蛇吊在保羅手上,就交頭接耳地說:「這人一定是個兇手,雖然僥倖沒有淹死,天理卻不容他活下去。」 5 可是保羅把蛇甩進火裡,並沒有受傷。 6 他們以為保羅的手一定會腫起來或者他會突然倒斃,但是等了很久,見他還是安然無恙,就改變了態度,說他是個神明。
7 那個島的首領名叫部百流,他的田產就在附近。他接待我們,熱情款待了我們三天。 8 當時,部百流的父親患痢疾,正發熱躺在床上。保羅去為他禱告,把手按在他身上治好了他。 9 這事以後,島上其他的病人都來了,他們都得了醫治。 10 他們處處尊敬我們,在我們啟航的時候,又贈送我們途中所需用的物品。
保羅抵達羅馬
11 三個月後,我們搭乘一艘停在該島過冬的船離開。這船叫「雙神號」,來自亞歷山大。 12 我們先到敘拉古港,在那裡停泊三天, 13 然後繼續前行,到達利基翁。第二天,起了南風,第三天我們抵達部丟利, 14 在那裡遇見幾位弟兄姊妹,應邀和他們同住了七天,然後前往羅馬。 15 那裡的弟兄姊妹聽說我們來了,便到亞比烏和三館迎接我們。保羅見到他們後,就感謝上帝,心中受到鼓勵。 16 進了羅馬城後,保羅獲准在衛兵的看守下自己一個人住。
繼續傳道
17 三天後,保羅請來當地猶太人的首領,對他們說:「弟兄們,雖然我沒有做過任何對不起同胞或違背祖先規矩的事,卻在耶路撒冷遭囚禁,又被交到羅馬人的手裡。 18 羅馬官員審訊了我,發現我沒有什麼該死的罪,想釋放我, 19 猶太人卻反對,我不得已只好上訴凱撒。我並非有什麼事要控告自己的同胞。 20 為此,我才請你們來當面談,我受捆綁是為了以色列人所盼望的那位。」
21 他們說:「猶太境內的同胞沒有給我們寫信提及你的事,也沒有弟兄到這裡說你的壞話。 22 不過,我們倒很想聽聽你的觀點,因為我們知道你們這一派的人到處受人抨擊。」
23 於是,他們和保羅約定了會面的日期。那一天,很多人來到保羅住的地方。從早到晚,保羅向他們傳揚上帝國的道,引用摩西律法和先知書勸他們相信有關耶穌的事。 24 有些人聽後相信了他的話,有些人不相信, 25 他們彼此意見不一。在他們散去之前,保羅說了一句話:「聖靈藉以賽亞先知對你們祖先所說的話真是一點不錯, 26 祂說,
『你去告訴百姓,
你們聽了又聽,卻不明白;
看了又看,卻不領悟。
27 因為這百姓心靈麻木,
耳朵發背,眼睛昏花,
以致眼睛看不見,
耳朵聽不見,心裡不明白,無法回心轉意,
得不到我的醫治。』
28 所以你們當知道,上帝的救恩已經傳給了外族人,他們也必聽。」
29 聽完保羅的話後,那些猶太人就回去了,他們中間起了激烈的爭論。[a]
30 後來,保羅租了一間房子,在那裡住了整整兩年,接待所有到訪的人。 31 他勇敢地傳講上帝的國,教導有關主耶穌基督的事,沒有受到任何攔阻。

在马耳他岛
28 我们安全上岸后,才知道那个岛的名字叫马耳他。 2 岛上的居民对我们非常友善。因为下雨,天气又冷,他们就生火接待我们。 3 保罗拿起一捆柴放进火堆里,不料有一条毒蛇经不住热钻了出来,咬住了他的手。 4 那里的居民看见毒蛇吊在保罗手上,就交头接耳地说:“这人一定是个凶手,虽然侥幸没有淹死,天理却不容他活下去。” 5 可是保罗把蛇甩进火里,并没有受伤。 6 他们以为保罗的手一定会肿起来或者他会突然倒毙,但是等了很久,见他还是安然无恙,就改变了态度,说他是个神明。
7 那个岛的首领名叫部百流,他的田产就在附近。他接待我们,热情款待了我们三天。 8 当时,部百流的父亲患痢疾,正发热躺在床上。保罗去为他祷告,把手按在他身上治好了他。 9 这事以后,岛上其他的病人都来了,他们都得了医治。 10 他们处处尊敬我们,在我们启航的时候,又赠送我们途中所需用的物品。
保罗抵达罗马
11 三个月后,我们搭乘一艘停在该岛过冬的船离开。这船叫“双神号”,来自亚历山大。 12 我们先到叙拉古港,在那里停泊三天, 13 然后继续前行,到达利基翁。第二天,起了南风,第三天我们抵达部丢利, 14 在那里遇见几位弟兄姊妹,应邀和他们同住了七天,然后前往罗马。 15 那里的弟兄姊妹听说我们来了,便到亚比乌和三馆迎接我们。保罗见到他们后,就感谢上帝,心中受到鼓励。 16 进了罗马城后,保罗获准在卫兵的看守下自己一个人住。
继续传道
17 三天后,保罗请来当地犹太人的首领,对他们说:“弟兄们,虽然我没有做过任何对不起同胞或违背祖先规矩的事,却在耶路撒冷遭囚禁,又被交到罗马人的手里。 18 罗马官员审讯了我,发现我没有什么该死的罪,想释放我, 19 犹太人却反对,我不得已只好上诉凯撒。我并非有什么事要控告自己的同胞。 20 为此,我才请你们来当面谈,我受捆绑是为了以色列人所盼望的那位。”
21 他们说:“犹太境内的同胞没有给我们写信提及你的事,也没有弟兄到这里说你的坏话。 22 不过,我们倒很想听听你的观点,因为我们知道你们这一派的人到处受人抨击。”
23 于是,他们和保罗约定了会面的日期。那一天,很多人来到保罗住的地方。从早到晚,保罗向他们传扬上帝国的道,引用摩西律法和先知书劝他们相信有关耶稣的事。 24 有些人听后相信了他的话,有些人不相信, 25 他们彼此意见不一。在他们散去之前,保罗说了一句话:“圣灵借以赛亚先知对你们祖先所说的话真是一点不错, 26 祂说,
“‘你去告诉百姓,
你们听了又听,却不明白;
看了又看,却不领悟。
27 因为这百姓心灵麻木,
耳朵发背,眼睛昏花,
以致眼睛看不见,
耳朵听不见,心里不明白,无法回心转意,
得不到我的医治。’
28 所以你们当知道,上帝的救恩已经传给了外族人,他们也必听。”
29 听完保罗的话后,那些犹太人就回去了,他们中间起了激烈的争论。[a]
30 后来,保罗租了一间房子,在那里住了整整两年,接待所有到访的人。 31 他勇敢地传讲上帝的国,教导有关主耶稣基督的事,没有受到任何拦阻。

Acts 28
World English Bible
28 When we had escaped, then they[a] learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold. 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.” 5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed. 6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days. 8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him. 9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured. 10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.” 12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. 13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli, 14 where we found brothers,[b] and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome. 15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. 16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, 18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation. 20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
21 They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you. 22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening. 24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 25 When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, 26 saying,
‘Go to this people and say,
in hearing, you will hear,
but will in no way understand.
In seeing, you will see,
but will in no way perceive.
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous.
Their ears are dull of hearing.
Their eyes they have closed.
Lest they should see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and would turn again,
then I would heal them.’(A)
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.[c]
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him, 31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
