使徒行传 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
选立执事
6 那时，门徒的人数与日俱增。当中有些讲希腊话的犹太人埋怨讲希伯来话的犹太人，说对方在日常分配食物的事上怠慢了他们的寡妇。 2 于是，十二使徒召集所有的门徒，对他们说：“我们不应该忽略传上帝的道，去管理膳食。 3 弟兄姊妹，请从你们中间选出七位声誉良好、被圣灵充满、有智慧的人来负责膳食， 4 而我们要专心祈祷和传道。”
5 大家一致同意，便选出充满信心、被圣灵充满的司提凡，此外还有腓利、伯罗哥罗、尼迦挪、提门、巴米拿，以及曾信过犹太教、来自安提阿的外族人尼哥拉。 6 大家将这七个人带到使徒面前。使徒把手按在他们身上，为他们祷告。
7 上帝的道兴旺起来，耶路撒冷的门徒大大增多，连许多祭司也皈信了。
司提凡被捕
8 司提凡得到极大的恩典和能力，在百姓中间行了惊人的神迹奇事。 9 但有些来自古利奈、亚历山大、基利迦和亚细亚、属于“自由人[a]会堂”的犹太人联合起来与司提凡辩论。 10 他们无法驳倒司提凡，因为他靠着智慧和圣灵说话。
11 于是，他们暗中唆使一些人诬告司提凡说：“我们听见他说亵渎摩西和上帝的话！” 12 又煽动百姓、长老和律法教师抓住司提凡，把他押到公会。 13 他们还派人作伪证说：“司提凡常常讲侮辱圣地[b]和律法的话。 14 我们听见他说那个拿撒勒人耶稣要毁坏圣殿，还要摒弃摩西传给我们的规矩。” 15 在场的人都盯着司提凡，只见他的容貌好像天使一样。

選立執事
6 那時，門徒的人數與日俱增。當中有些講希臘話的猶太人埋怨講希伯來話的猶太人，說對方在日常分配食物的事上怠慢了他們的寡婦。 2 於是，十二使徒召集所有的門徒，對他們說：「我們不應該忽略傳上帝的道，去管理膳食。 3 弟兄姊妹，請從你們中間選出七位聲譽良好、被聖靈充滿、有智慧的人來負責膳食， 4 而我們要專心祈禱和傳道。」
5 大家一致同意，便選出充滿信心、被聖靈充滿的司提凡，此外還有腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼迦挪、提門、巴米拿，以及曾信過猶太教、來自安提阿的外族人尼哥拉。 6 大家將這七個人帶到使徒面前。使徒把手按在他們身上，為他們禱告。
7 上帝的道興旺起來，耶路撒冷的門徒大大增多，連許多祭司也皈信了。
司提凡被捕
8 司提凡得到極大的恩典和能力，在百姓中間行了驚人的神蹟奇事。 9 但有些來自古利奈、亞歷山大、基利迦和亞細亞、屬於「自由人[a]會堂」的猶太人聯合起來與司提凡辯論。 10 他們無法駁倒司提凡，因為他靠著智慧和聖靈說話。
11 於是，他們暗中唆使一些人誣告司提凡說：「我們聽見他說褻瀆摩西和上帝的話！」 12 又煽動百姓、長老和律法教師抓住司提凡，把他押到公會。 13 他們還派人作偽證說：「司提凡常常講侮辱聖地[b]和律法的話。 14 我們聽見他說那個拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞聖殿，還要摒棄摩西傳給我們的規矩。」 15 在場的人都盯著司提凡，只見他的容貌好像天使一樣。
Acts 6
New Living Translation
Seven Men Chosen to Serve
6 But as the believers[a] rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.
2 So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. 3 And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. 4 Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.”
5 Everyone liked this idea, and they chose the following: Stephen (a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit), Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas of Antioch (an earlier convert to the Jewish faith). 6 These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them as they laid their hands on them.
7 So God’s message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted, too.
Stephen Is Arrested
8 Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people. 9 But one day some men from the Synagogue of Freed Slaves, as it was called, started to debate with him. They were Jews from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia, and the province of Asia. 10 None of them could stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.
11 So they persuaded some men to lie about Stephen, saying, “We heard him blaspheme Moses, and even God.” 12 This roused the people, the elders, and the teachers of religious law. So they arrested Stephen and brought him before the high council.[b]
13 The lying witnesses said, “This man is always speaking against the holy Temple and against the law of Moses. 14 We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth[c] will destroy the Temple and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”
15 At this point everyone in the high council stared at Stephen, because his face became as bright as an angel’s.
