使徒行传 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
8 司提反被害，掃羅也欣然同意。
掃羅迫害教會
從那天起，耶路撒冷的教會大受迫害；除了使徒以外，所有的人都分散到猶太和撒瑪利亞各地。 2 有些虔誠的人安葬了司提反，為他大大悲痛一番。 3 掃羅卻殘害教會，逐家進去，連男帶女拉去坐監。
福音傳到撒瑪利亞
4 那些分散的人，經過各地，傳揚福音真道。 5 腓利下到撒瑪利亞城，宣講基督。 6 群眾聽了腓利所講的，看見他所行的神蹟，就同心聽從了他的話。 7 許多人有污靈附在他們身上，污靈大聲喊叫了之後，就出來了；還有許多癱子瘸子都醫好了。 8 在那城裡，就大有歡樂。
9 有一個人名叫西門，從前在城裡行過邪術，使撒瑪利亞的居民驚奇，他又自命不凡， 10 城裡大大小小都聽從他，說：“這就是那稱為‘ 神的大能’的人。” 11 他們聽從他，因為他長久用邪術，使他們驚奇。 12 等到腓利向他們傳了 神的國的福音，和耶穌基督的名，他們就信了腓利，連男帶女都受了洗。 13 連西門自己也信了，他受洗之後，常和腓利在一起，看見所發生的神蹟和大能的事，就覺得很驚奇。
14 在耶路撒冷的使徒，聽見撒瑪利亞居民領受了 神的道，就差派彼得和約翰到他們那裡去。 15 二人到了，就為大家禱告，要讓他們接受聖靈。 16 因為聖靈還沒有降在他們任何一個身上，他們只是受了洗歸入主耶穌的名下。 17 於是使徒為他們按手，他們就受了聖靈。 18 西門看見使徒一按手，就有聖靈賜下來，就拿錢給他們， 19 說：“請把這權柄也給我，叫我為誰按手，誰就可以受聖靈。” 20 彼得對他說：“你的銀子跟你一同滅亡吧！因為你以為 神的恩賜，是可以用錢買的。 21 你和這件事是毫無關係的，因為你在 神面前存心不正。 22 所以，你要悔改離棄這罪惡，要祈求主，也許你心中的意念可以得到赦免。 23 我看出你正在苦膽之中，邪惡捆綁著你。” 24 西門回答：“請你們為我求主，好讓你們所說的，沒有一樣臨到我身上。”
25 使徒作了見證，講了主的道，就回耶路撒冷去，一路上在撒瑪利亞人的許多村莊裡傳揚福音。
腓利對太監傳講耶穌
26 有主的一位使者對腓利說：“起來，向南走，往那從耶路撒冷下迦薩的路上去。”那條路在曠野裡。 27 他就動身去了。有一個衣索匹亞人，是衣索匹亞女王干大基有權力的太監，掌管女王全部國庫。他上耶路撒冷去禮拜。 28 他回去的時候，坐在車上讀以賽亞先知的書。 29 聖靈對腓利說：“你往前去，靠近那車子！” 30 腓利就跑過去，聽見他讀以賽亞先知的書，就問他：“你所讀的，你明白嗎？” 31 他說：“沒有人指導我，怎能明白呢？”於是請腓利上車，同他坐在一起。 32 他所讀的那段經文，就是：
“他像羊被牽去宰殺，
又像羊羔在剪毛的人面前無聲，
他總是這樣不開口。
33 他受屈辱的時候，
得不到公平的審判，
誰能說出他的身世呢？
因為他的生命從地上被奪去。”
34 太監對腓利說：“請問先知這話是指誰說的？指他自己呢？還是指別人？” 35 腓利就開口，從這段經文開始，向他傳講耶穌。 36 他們一路走，到了有水的地方，太監說：“你看，這裡有水，有甚麼可以阻止我受洗呢？”（有些抄本在此有第37節：“腓利說：‘你若全心相信，就可以受洗。’他回答說：‘我信耶穌基督是 神的兒子。’”） 38 於是太監吩咐停車，腓利和他兩人下到水中，腓利就給他施洗。 39 他們從水裡上來的時候，主的靈就把腓利提去了，太監再也看不見他，就歡歡喜喜地上路。 40 後來有人在亞鎖都遇見腓利。他走遍各城，傳講福音，直到該撒利亞。
Acts 8
New King James Version
Saul Persecutes the Church
8 Now Saul was consenting to his death.
At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and (A)they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and (B)made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, (C)he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.
Christ Is Preached in Samaria
4 Therefore (D)those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then (E)Philip went down to [a]the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For (F)unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith
9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously (G)practiced [b]sorcery in the city and (H)astonished the [c]people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his [d]sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things (I)concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
The Sorcerer’s Sin
14 Now when the (J)apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them (K)that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For (L)as yet He had fallen upon none of them. (M)They had only been baptized in (N)the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then (O)they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because (P)you thought that (Q)the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your (R)heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God (S)if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are (T)poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”
24 Then Simon answered and said, (U)“Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”
25 So when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian(V)
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to (W)Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is [e]desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, (X)a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and (Y)had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
(Z)“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
(AA)So He opened not His mouth.
33 In His humiliation His (AB)justice was taken away,
And who will declare His generation?
For His life is (AC)taken from the earth.”
34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, (AD)and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. (AE)What hinders me from being baptized?”
37 [f]Then Philip said, (AF)“If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, (AG)“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, (AH)the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at [g]Azotus. And passing through, he preached in all the cities till he came to (AI)Caesarea.
Acts 8
English Standard Version
Saul Ravages the Church
8 And (A)Saul (B)approved of his execution.
And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and (C)they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. 3 But (D)Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he (E)dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.
Philip Proclaims Christ in Samaria
4 Now (F)those who were scattered went about preaching the word. 5 (G)Philip went down to the city[a] of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. 6 (H)And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him (I)and saw the signs that he did. 7 For (J)unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So (K)there was much joy in that city.
Simon the Magician Believes
9 But there was a man named Simon, (L)who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, (M)saying that he himself was somebody great. 10 They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, (N)“This man is the power of God that is called (O)Great.” 11 And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had (P)amazed them with his magic. 12 But when (Q)they believed Philip as he preached good news (R)about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, (S)they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And (T)seeing signs and (U)great miracles[b] performed, (V)he was amazed.
14 Now when (W)the apostles at Jerusalem heard that (X)Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, 15 who came down and prayed for them (Y)that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 for (Z)he had not yet (AA)fallen on any of them, but (AB)they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then (AC)they laid their hands on them and (AD)they received the Holy Spirit. 18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” 20 But Peter said to him, (AE)“May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God (AF)with money! 21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for (AG)your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, (AH)if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are in (AI)the gall[c] of bitterness and in (AJ)the bond of iniquity.” 24 And Simon answered, (AK)“Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”
25 Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, (AL)preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch
26 Now (AM)an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[d] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an (AN)Ethiopian, a (AO)eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, (AP)who was in charge of all her treasure. (AQ)He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, (AR)“How can I, unless someone (AS)guides me?” And (AT)he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:
(AU)“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
33 In his (AV)humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and (AW)beginning with this Scripture (AX)he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! (AY)What prevents me from being baptized?”[e] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, (AZ)the Spirit of the Lord (BA)carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

使徒行传 8
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
扫罗迫害信徒
8 扫罗也赞同杀害司提反。
从那一天开始，有大逼迫临到耶路撒冷的教会。除了使徒以外，他们都分散到犹太和撒马利亚地区。 2 有些虔诚的人把司提反埋葬了，为他大大地悲伤。 3 扫罗却摧残教会，闯进各家各户，无论男女都拉去关进监狱。
腓利在撒马利亚传福音
4 于是那些分散的人就走遍各地传讲福音[a]。 5 腓利下到撒马利亚的一个城[b]，向那里的人传讲基督。 6 当众人听见又看见腓利所行的神迹，就同心合意，专心听他所说的话。 7 那时，有许多人被污灵附身，那些污灵大声喊叫着从他们身上出来了；许多瘫痪的和瘸腿的，也得了痊愈。 8 所以那城里，有极大的喜乐。
巫师西门
9 有一个名叫西门的人，自称是个大人物，一向在那城里行邪术，使撒马利亚的居民十分惊讶。 10 所有的人，从卑微的到尊贵的，都听从他。他们说：“这个人就是那被称为‘神的大能者’的。” 11 他们听从[c]他，因为他长期以来用邪术使他们十分惊讶。 12 可是腓利传讲有关神国的福音和耶稣基督之名的时候，他们就相信了，无论男女都受了洗， 13 连西门自己也信了。他受洗[d]以后，常常跟着腓利，看见所行出来的神迹和大能，就十分惊讶。
西门的罪
14 在耶路撒冷的使徒们听说撒马利亚人接受了神的话语[e]，就派彼得和约翰到他们那里去。 15 两个人下去，就为他们祷告，好使他们领受圣灵， 16 因为圣灵还没有降临到他们任何人身上。他们只是受洗归入了主耶稣的名[f]。 17 于是彼得和约翰按手在他们身上，他们就领受了圣灵。
18 西门看见因着使徒们的按手，有圣灵[g]赐下，就拿了钱给他们， 19 说：“请把这权柄也给我，使我按手在谁身上，谁就可以领受圣灵。”
20 彼得对他说：“你的银子和你一起灭亡[h]吧！因为你以为神的恩赐可以用钱买到！ 21 你在这件事上无份无关，因为在神面前你的心不正。 22 所以你应当为这恶事悔改，向主[i]祈求，或许你心中的意念因此被赦免。 23 因我看出你在苦毒的胆汁中，被不义所捆绑。”
24 西门回答说：“请你们为我向主祈求，使你们所说的，没有一样临到我。”
25 于是彼得和约翰在那里郑重地做见证，传讲了主的福音[j]，又在撒马利亚人的许多村庄传福音，就回耶路撒冷去了。
埃塞俄比亚太监信主受洗
26 有主的一位天使对腓利说：“你起来，顺着那条从耶路撒冷下到加沙的路，往南走。”那里是旷野。 27 腓利就起身去了。看哪，有一个埃塞俄比亚人，是个太监，是埃塞俄比亚坎蒂丝女王的大臣，统管她整个国库。他到耶路撒冷去敬拜后， 28 在回去的时候，坐在他的马车里诵读先知以赛亚的书。
29 圣灵对腓利说：“你上前去，贴近那马车走。”
30 腓利跑过去，听见他正在诵读先知以赛亚的书，就问：“难道你真的明白你所读的吗？”
31 太监回答说：“如果没有人指教我，我怎么能明白呢？”他就请腓利上来和他同坐。 32 太监诵读的那段经文是这样的：
34 太监对腓利说：“请问，先知说的这话是关于谁呢？是关于自己，还是关于别人呢？” 35 腓利就开口，从这一段经文开始，向他传讲耶稣的福音。
36 当他们沿路前行的时候，来到一个有水的地方。太监说：“看哪，有水！有什么能阻止我受洗呢？” 37 腓利说：“如果你全心相信就可以受洗。”太监回答说：“我相信耶稣基督是神的儿子。”[m] 38 于是他吩咐停下马车，腓利和太监，两个人下到水里，腓利就给他施洗[n]。 39 他们从水里上来的时候，主的灵把腓利提走，太监再也看不见他了。太监继续赶路，满心快乐。 40 后来，腓利出现在阿佐托。他走遍各个城镇传扬福音，直到他来到凯撒里亚。
