使徒行传 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
彼得与约翰被捕
4 彼得和约翰正向民众讲话的时候，祭司们、圣殿守卫长[a]和撒都该人忽然来了。 2 这些人非常恼怒，因为使徒们教导民众，藉着耶稣传讲从死人中复活的事。 3 于是他们下手捉拿了彼得和约翰。因为天已经晚了，就把他们关在监里，直到第二天。 4 然而听了这话语的人中，有许多人相信了；男人的数目约有五千。
在犹太领袖面前受审
5 到了第二天，犹太人的[b]首领、长老和经文士们都聚集在耶路撒冷。 6 大祭司亚纳、该亚法、约翰、亚历山大，以及大祭司家族的人都在那里。 7 他们叫彼得和约翰站在中间，质问他们，说：“你们凭着什么能力，以谁的名做这事？”
8 那时，彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：“民众的首领和[c]长老们， 9 如果我们今天因在一个残疾人身上所行的善事，被查问这个人怎样得到救治， 10 那么，你们大家和所有以色列子民应当知道：这个人健全地站在你们面前，是藉着拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。这位耶稣基督，你们把他钉上十字架，但是神使他从死人中复活了！ 11 这一位就是
‘被你们工匠所藐视的石头，
它已经成了房角的头块石头。’[d]
12 除他[e]以外，没有救恩[f]；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们必须靠着得救。”
传讲主名被禁止
13 他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量，又了解他们是没有学问的普通人，就感到惊奇，并且了解他们是曾经与耶稣在一起的； 14 又看见那得了痊愈的人和他们一同站着，就无话可说了， 15 于是命令他们到议会外面去，就彼此商议， 16 说：“我们该怎么处理这些人呢？藉着他们，确实发生了一个明显的神迹，所有住在耶路撒冷的人都清清楚楚；我们也不能否认。 17 不过为了避免这事在民间传扬更广，让我们威吓他们[g]，不可再奉耶稣的名[h]对任何人讲话。” 18 于是把他们叫来，吩咐他们绝对不可奉耶稣的名讲说或教导人。
19 可是彼得和约翰回答说：“听从你们过于听从神，在神面前是理所当然的吗？你们自己判断吧！ 20 要知道，我们所看见所听见的，我们不能不说。”
21 官长们又威吓他们一番，为了民众的缘故把他们释放了。官长们找不出任何理由来惩罚他们，因为众人都为所发生的事不住地荣耀神。 22 实际上，因神迹而痊愈的那个人已经四十多岁了。
祈求主赐胆量
23 彼得和约翰被释放了，就回到自己的人那里，把祭司长们和长老们所说的话都告诉他们。 24 他们听了，就同心合意地高声向神说：“主啊，你是造了天、地、海和其中万有的那一位[i]。 25 你曾经藉着圣灵[j]，用你的仆人——我们先祖[k]大卫的口说：
‘列国为什么狂怒骚乱，
众民为什么图谋虚空？
26 地上的众君王都起来，
首领们也聚集在一起，
抵挡主和他的基督。’[l]
27 “事实上，希律和本丢彼拉多，与外邦人和以色列子民果然在这城里[m]一同聚集，对付你所膏立的圣仆耶稣， 28 做成了你手和你计划所预定要成就的一切事。 29 主啊，现在求你鉴察[n]他们的威吓，使[o]你的奴仆们能满有胆量地传讲你的话语。 30 求你伸出你的手，藉着你圣仆耶稣的名，使疾病痊愈，施行神迹和奇事。” 31 他们祷告完了，聚集的地方就被震动，大家都被圣灵充满，就坦然无惧地传讲神的话语[p]。
凡物共有
32 于是那一群信徒都同心合意，没有一个人说他所拥有的哪样东西是自己的；相反，他们凡物共有。 33 使徒们大有能力地为主耶稣的复活做见证，并且在他们每个人身上都有极大的恩典。 34 他们当中没有一个缺乏的人，因为凡是拥有田产或房屋的人，都卖掉了那些东西，把所卖得的钱拿来， 35 放在使徒们的脚前，按照各人的需要分给每个人。
36 有一个出生在塞浦路斯的利未人约瑟，使徒们称他为巴拿巴——“巴拿巴”翻译出来就是“安慰之子”； 37 他有一块田地，也卖掉了，把钱拿来放在使徒们的脚前。

使徒行传 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
唯一的救主
4 彼得和约翰向百姓讲道的时候，祭司、圣殿护卫长和撒都该人赶来了。 2 因为彼得和约翰宣讲借着耶稣死人可以复活，他们非常恼怒， 3 下令拘捕二人，因天色已晚，就把他们扣押了一夜。 4 但有许多听道的人信了，男人的数目约有五千人。
5 第二天，官长、长老和律法教师都聚集在耶路撒冷， 6 大祭司亚那，以及该亚法、约翰、亚历山大和大祭司的许多亲族都在场。 7 他们令使徒站在当中，质问道：“你们凭什么权柄、以谁的名义这样做？”
8 那时彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：“各位百姓的官长和长老啊， 9 如果因为那残疾的乞丐得到医治这件善事，你们今天来查问我们他是如何痊愈的， 10 那么，你们和所有以色列人都应当知道，他能健康地站在你们面前，全是靠拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名！你们把祂钉在十字架上，但上帝使祂从死里复活了。
11 “‘祂是你们工匠丢弃的石头，
已成了房角石。’
12 除祂以外，别无救主，因为普天之下没有赐下别的名我们可以靠着得救！”
13 在场的人看到彼得和约翰的胆量，又知道他们原是没有学问的平民百姓，都很惊奇。他们认出这些人跟随过耶稣， 14 又见那被医好的瘸子站在他们旁边，便无话可说， 15 只好暂时把他们押下去，然后彼此商量说： 16 “我们该怎样处置这两个人呢？整个耶路撒冷的居民都知道他们行了一个神迹，我们无法否认。 17 为了避免这件事传得更广，我们必须警告他们以后不许再对任何人传讲耶稣的事。”
18 于是，他们又把使徒传来，严令他们不许再奉耶稣的名讲论或传道。 19 但彼得和约翰答道：“要我们听从你们而不听从上帝，这在上帝看来合理吗？你们自己想想吧。 20 我们耳闻目睹的，不能不说！” 21 官长实在不知道如何惩治使徒，只好再三恐吓之后把他们放了，因为百姓都为这个神迹赞美上帝。 22 在这次神迹中蒙上帝医治的那个人已经四十多岁了。
同心祷告
23 彼得和约翰被释放之后，就去找其他信徒，把祭司长和长老的话都告诉大家。 24 大家听后，一同高声向上帝祷告说：“主啊，你创造了天地、海洋和其中的万物。 25 你借着圣灵感动你的仆人——我们的祖先大卫说，
“‘列国为何咆哮？
万民为何枉费心机？
26 世上的君王一同行动，官长聚集起来，
要抵挡主和祂所膏立的王。’
27 “果然如此，希律和本丢·彼拉多、外族人和以色列人都聚集在这城里，要对抗你膏立的圣子[a]耶稣， 28 然而他们所做的只不过是你凭自己的能力和旨意所预定的。 29 主啊，你看他们这样恐吓我们，求你帮助你的奴仆们坦然无惧地传你的道。 30 求你伸出手医治疾病，借着你圣子耶稣的名行神迹奇事。”
31 祷告完后，聚会的地方震动起来，他们都被圣灵充满，放胆传扬上帝的道。
共用一切
32 当时所有信徒都同心合意，共用所有的东西，没有人说他的财物只属于自己。 33 使徒充满能力，继续为主耶稣复活的事做见证，上帝也赐下极大的恩典给众人。 34 信徒都一无所缺，因为大家卖掉房屋田产，把所得的钱交给使徒， 35 照各人的需要分配给各人。
36 有个生在塞浦路斯的利未人名叫约瑟，使徒叫他巴拿巴，意思是劝慰者。 37 他卖掉自己的一块田，把卖得的钱交给了使徒。

Acts 4
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 Peter and John were talking to the people. The priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came to them.
2 They were angry at Peter and John because they taught the people. They were angry because they told them that Jesus was brought back from death.
3 They caught them and put them in prison until the next day, because it was already evening.
4 But many of the people who heard them speak the word of God, believed what they said. The number of men who believed was about five thousand.
5 The next day their rulers, leaders, and scribes met in Jerusalem.
6 Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all of the high priest's family were there also.
7 Peter and John were brought before them. They asked the apostles, `By what power or in what name have you done this?'
8-9 hen Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, `Rulers of the people and leaders of Israel, have you brought us to court today because of the good thing that was done to the lame man? Do you want to find out how he was healed?
10 Well, let it be known by all the people of Israel. This man standing before you is healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He has done this. You nailed him to a cross, but God raised him from death.
11 Jesus Christ is the stone which you, the builders, would not use. But he is now the chief corner stone.
12 No one else can save us. Of all the people in the world, God chose him to save us. It is by him we must be saved.'
13 They saw that Peter and John were not afraid to speak out. They knew that they were like any other men. They did not have much training. So the people were very much surprised. They knew that Peter and John had been with Jesus.
14 They saw the man who had been healed standing beside them. So they could say nothing against them.
15 They told Peter and John to leave the court. Then they talked the matter over among themselves.
16 They said, `What shall we do to these men? All the people who live in Jerusalem know about this big work they have done. And we cannot say they did not do it.
17 But we do not want any more people to hear about it. So let us say to these men, "Take care! Never speak to anyone in this name again." '
18 They called them in and said, `Never speak or teach in this name again.'
19 But Peter and John answered them, `How does God look at it? Is it right for us to obey you or to obey him? You judge that for yourselves.
20 As for us, we must tell the things we have seen and heard.'
21 So the high priest and those with him told them again. Then they let them go. They could not punish them because of the people. They all praised God for what had been done.
22 The man who had been healed was more than forty years old.
23 When they were free, Peter and John went back to their own friends. They told them all that the chief priests and leaders had said to them.
24 When they heard it, they talked to God together. They said, `Lord, you are God. You made the sky, and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
25 Our father David was your servant. Through him you said by the Holy Spirit, "Why are the people who are not Jews so angry? And why do the people plan things for nothing?
26 The kings of the earth joined their forces. And the rulers met together against the Lord and his Christ."
27 `It is true that Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with Jews and those who were not Jews here in this city. They met to make secret plans against your holy Son Jesus, whom you made Christ.
28 But they only did what you had already planned should be done.
29-30 ord, hear their words. Listen to the wrong things they say against us. We are your servants. Help us to speak your word without fear. And heal the sick by your own power. Let signs and wonderful things be done in the name of your holy Son Jesus.'
31 When they had talked to God, the room they were in shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they spoke the word of God without fear.
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. Not one of them said, `This is mine.' But everything they had was for the use of all.
33 With much power the apostles told how the Lord Jesus was raised from death. And God blessed them all very much.
34-35 one of them was in need of anything. Those who owned fields and houses sold them. They brought the money to the apostles. Then the apostles gave each one what he needed.
36 There was a man named Joseph, a Levite. He was born in the country of Cyprus. The apostles called him Barnabas. That means "one who helps."
37 He had a field and sold it. He brought the money to the apostles and gave it to them.
