使徒行传 6
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
選出七位執事
6 門徒不斷增加的時候,講希臘話的猶太人,埋怨本地的希伯來人,因為在日常的供給上,忽略了他們的寡婦。 2 於是十二使徒召集了眾門徒,說:“要我們放下 神的道,去管理伙食,是不合適的。 3 所以弟兄們,應當從你們中間選出七個有好見證、滿有聖靈和智慧的人,我們就派他們負責這事。 4 至於我們,我們要專心祈禱、傳道。” 5 這個意見全會眾都很滿意,於是選出司提反,他是一位滿有信心和聖靈的人,還有腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼加挪、提門、巴米拿,以及歸信猶太教的安提阿人尼哥拉, 6 叫他們站在使徒面前。使徒禱告後,就為他們按手。 7 神的道傳開了;在耶路撒冷,門徒人數大大增加,有很多祭司也信從了真道。
司提反被捕
8 司提反滿有恩惠能力,在民間施行大奇事和神蹟。 9 當時有幾個稱為“自由人”會堂的人,就是從古利奈和亞歷山太來的人,另外還有基利家人和亞西亞人,他們出面與司提反辯論, 10 但司提反靠著聖靈和智慧說話,他們就抵擋不住。 11 於是他們唆使眾人,說:“我們聽過他說謗瀆摩西和 神的話。” 12 又煽動民眾、長老、經學家,這些人就來捉拿他,把他帶到公議會, 13 並且造了假的證供說:“這人不斷抨擊聖地和律法。 14 我們聽他說過:‘這拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞這地方,改變摩西傳給我們的規例。’” 15 當時,坐在公議會裡的人,都注視他,見他的面貌像天使一樣。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying was liked by all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith, and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.
6 These they set before the apostles; and they praying, imposed hands upon them.
7 And the word of the Lord increased; and the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly: a great multitude also of the priests obeyed the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude, did great wonders and signs among the people.
9 Now there arose some of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke.
11 Then they suborned men to say, they had heard him speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the ancients, and the scribes; and running together, they took him, and brought him to the council.
13 And they set up false witnesses, who said: This man ceaseth not to speak words against the holy place and the law.
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.
