使徒行传 28
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在马耳他岛上受到款待
28 我们获救以后才知道那岛叫做马耳他, 2 那里的土人对我们非常友善。因为当时下着雨,又因为天气冷,他们就生了火接待我们大家。 3 保罗收集了一捆柴火,放在火堆上的时候,有一条毒蛇因热钻了出来,咬住[a]他的手。 4 那些土人一看见那毒蛇悬在他的手上,就彼此说:“这个人一定是个杀人犯!虽然从海里获救了,但天理还是不让他活着。” 5 可是保罗把那毒蛇甩在火里,没有受任何伤害。 6 他们本来以为他快要肿起来,或是突然倒下死去,然而等了很久,看见他没有任何异常,就改变了想法,说他是个神。
在马耳他岛上治病
7 在那个地方附近,有些田产是岛上首领普布利乌的。他欢迎我们,热情地招待了我们三天。 8 当时,普布利乌的父亲患热病和痢疾,躺在床上[b]。保罗就进去为他祷告,按手在他身上,使他痊愈了。 9 这么一来,岛上其他有病的人也都来了,并且都得了痊愈。 10 他们十分尊重我们;开船的时候,还送上所需要的东西。
最终到达罗马
11 过了三个月,我们上了一条亚历山大的船起航。这船是在那海岛过冬的,以“宙斯双子神”为船头雕像。 12 我们在叙拉古靠岸,停留了三天, 13 又从那里绕道航行,到达利基翁。过了一天,刮起了南风,第二天我们就到了普特奥利, 14 在那里找到一些弟兄,受邀请与他们同住了七天。
这样,我们来到了罗马。 15 那里的弟兄们听说了有关我们的事,赶到阿比乌市场和三馆来迎接我们。保罗见到他们,就感谢神,得了勇气。 16 我们进了罗马以后,[c]保罗获准在一个士兵的看守之下,独自居住。
第一次会见罗马的犹太人
17 第三天,保罗[d]请犹太人的首领们来。他们聚集了,保罗就对他们说:“各位兄弟,我没有做过任何反对我们民族或先祖规矩的事,却做为囚犯从耶路撒冷被交到罗马人手中。 18 他们审问我以后,因为没有处死我的任何理由,本来想要释放我。 19 但是由于犹太人反对,我被迫向凯撒上诉,并不是有什么事要控告自己的同胞。 20 因这理由,我请你们来见面谈话。其实我是为了以色列所盼望的事,才被这锁链捆锁的。”
21 他们对保罗说:“我们没有收到从犹太来的有关你的文件。来到这里的同胞[e]中,也没有人报告过或说过任何有关你的坏事。 22 不过我们觉得应该听听你的想法,因为我们确实知道有关这教派的事,它到处遭人反对。”
对保罗传道的反应
23 于是他们和保罗定好了日子,就有更多的人来到他的住所。保罗从早到晚对他们讲解,为神的国郑重地做见证,并且引用摩西的律法和先知书上有关耶稣的事来劝导他们。 24 对他所说的话,有些人信从了,有些人却不相信。
25 他们彼此不一致,开始散去,保罗就说了一句话:“圣灵藉着先知以赛亚对你们[f]祖先所说的是对的。 26 他说:
‘你去告诉这子民:
你们将听了又听,但绝不会领悟;
你们将看了又看,但绝不会明白;
27 因为这子民的心麻木了,
他们充耳不闻,眼睛闭着;
免得他们眼睛看见,耳朵听见,心里领悟,
回转过来,我就使他们痊愈。’[g]
28 所以你们应当知道:神的这救恩已经传给了外邦人,他们反倒会听!” 29 保罗说完这些话,犹太人就走了,彼此议论纷纷。[h]
保罗畅通无阻地传道
30 保罗在自己租的房子里住了整整两年,所有来到他那里的人,他都欢迎。 31 他宣讲神的国、教导有关主耶稣基督的事,满有胆量、没有拦阻。

Acts 28
1599 Geneva Bible
28 2 The Barbarians’ courtesy towards Paul and his company. 3 A viper on Paul’s hand: 6 He shaketh it off without harm: 8 Publius 9 and others are by him healed. 11 They depart from Malta, 16 and come to Rome. 17 Paul openeth to the Jews, 20 the cause of his coming: 22 He preacheth Jesus 30 two years.
1 And when they were come safe, then they knew that the Isle was called [a]Malta.
2 And the Barbarians showed us no little kindness, for they kindled a fire, and received us everyone, because of the present shower, and because of the cold.
3 [b]And when Paul had gathered a number of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and leaped on his hand.
4 [c]Now when the Barbarians saw the worm hang on his hand, they said among themselves, This man surely is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet [d]Vengeance hath not suffered to live.
5 But he shook off the worm into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they waited when he should have [e]swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: [f]but after they had looked a great while, and saw no inconvenience come to him, they changed their minds, and said, That he was a God.
7 [g]In the same quarters, the chief man of the Isle (whose name was Publius) had possessions: the same received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 And so it was, that the father of Publius lay sick of the fever, and of a bloody flix: to whom Paul entered in, and when he prayed, he laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 [h]When this then was done, others also in the Isle, which had diseases, came to him, and were healed,
10 [i]Which also did us great honor: and when we departed, they laded us with things necessary.
11 ¶ [j]Now after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the Isle, whose [k]badge was Castor and Pollux.
12 And when we arrived at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 And from thence we set a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day, the South wind blew, and we came the second day to Puteoli:
14 [l]Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days, and so we went toward Rome.
15 ¶ [m]And from thence when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us at the [n]Market of Appius, and at the three taverns, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and waxed bold.
16 So when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the prisoners to the general Captain: but Paul was suffered to dwell by [o]himself with a soldier that kept him.
17 [p]And the third day after, Paul calleth the chief of the Jews together, and when they were come, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or Laws of the fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Who when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 [q]But when the Jews spake contrary, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar, not because I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 For this cause therefore have I called for you to see you, and to speak with you: for that hope of Israel’s sake, I am bound with this chain.
21 Then they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judea concerning thee, neither came any of the brethren that showed or spake any evil of thee.
22 But we will hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.
23 [r]And when they had appointed him a day, there came many unto him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, [s]testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them those things that concern Jesus, both out of the Law of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning to night.
24 [t]And some were [persuaded] with the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Therefore when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Isaiah the Prophet unto our fathers,
26 [u]Saying, (A)Go unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.
27 For the heart of this people is waxed fat, and their ears are dull of hearing, and with their eyes have they [v]winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and should return that I might heal them.
28 [w]Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall hear it.
29 [x]And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 [y]And Paul remained two years full in an house hired for himself, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness of speech, without let.
