使徒行传 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
扫罗悔改归主(A)
9 扫罗仍向主的门徒发恐吓凶杀的话。他到大祭司那里, 2 要求他发公函给大马士革各会堂,如果发现奉行这道的人,准他连男带女缉拿到耶路撒冷。 3 他快到大马士革的时候,忽然有光从天上向他四面照射。 4 他仆倒在地,听见有声音对他说:“扫罗,扫罗!你为甚么迫害我?” 5 他说:“主啊,你是谁?”主说:“我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 6 起来,进城去!你应当作的事,一定有人告诉你。” 7 同行的人,听见声音,却看不见人,只是目瞪口呆地站在那里。 8 扫罗从地上爬起来,睁开眼睛,却甚么也看不见。他们牵着他的手,领他进大马士革。 9 他三天都不能看见甚么,不吃也不喝。
10 在大马士革,有一个门徒名叫亚拿尼亚,主在异象中对他说:“亚拿尼亚!”他说:“主啊,我在这里。” 11 主说:“起来,到那叫直街的路上去,要在犹大家里找一个大数人,名叫扫罗。你看,他正在祷告, 12 在异象中他看见一个人,名叫亚拿尼亚,进来为他按手,使他可以再看得见。” 13 但亚拿尼亚回答:“主啊,我听见许多人说起这个人,他在耶路撒冷作了许多苦害你圣徒的事; 14 并且他在这里得到祭司长的授权,要捆绑所有求告你名的人。” 15 主对他说:“你去吧!这人是我拣选的器皿,为要把我的名传给外族人、君王和以色列人。 16 我要指示他,为了我的名他必须受许多的苦。” 17 亚拿尼亚就去了,进了那家,为扫罗按手,说:“扫罗弟兄,在你来的路上向你显现的耶稣,就是主,差我来使你可以看见,又被圣灵充满。” 18 立刻有鳞状的东西,从扫罗的眼里掉下来,他就能看见了。于是起来,受了洗, 19 吃过了饭,就有气力了。
扫罗在大马士革传道
他和大马士革的门徒一同住了几天, 20 随即在各会堂传讲耶稣,说他是 神的儿子。 21 听见的人都很惊奇,说:“在耶路撒冷残害求告这名的,不是这个人吗?他来这里不是要缉拿他们交给祭司长吗?” 22 然而扫罗更加有能力,驳倒住在大马士革的犹太人,证明耶稣是基督。
扫罗逃脱犹太人的谋害
23 过了许多日子,犹太人商议要杀掉扫罗; 24 但他们的计谋给扫罗知道了。他们就在各城门日夜把守,要杀掉他。 25 于是他的门徒就趁夜用大篮子把他从城墙上缒下去。
26 扫罗到了耶路撒冷,想要接近门徒,但大家都怕他,不信他是个门徒。 27 只有巴拿巴接待他,带他去见使徒,把他怎样在路上看见主,主向他说话,和他怎样在大马士革奉耶稣的名放胆讲道,都讲了出来。 28 于是扫罗在耶路撒冷和门徒一同出入,奉主的名放胆讲道, 29 并且与讲希腊话的犹太人谈论辩驳,那些人却想下手杀他。 30 弟兄们知道了,就送他到该撒利亚,差他往大数去。
31 那时犹太、加利利、撒玛利亚各处的教会,都得到平安,被建立起来,存着敬畏主的心过生活,并且因着圣灵的激励,人数增多起来。
彼得医好以尼雅
32 彼得周游各地的时候,也到了住在吕大的圣徒那里。 33 他遇见一个人,名叫以尼雅,害了瘫痪病,在床上躺卧了八年。 34 彼得对他说:“以尼雅,耶稣基督医好你了!起来,收好你的褥子!”他就立刻起来。 35 所有住在吕大和沙仑的人,看见了他就归向主。
彼得使多加复活
36 在约帕有一个女门徒,名叫戴比莎,希腊话叫多加;她为人乐善好施。 37 那时,她因病死了;有人把她洗净了,停放在楼上。 38 吕大靠近约帕,门徒听说彼得在那边,就派两个人去求他,说:“请到我们那边去,不要耽延!” 39 彼得就动身,跟他们一同去。到了之后,他们领他上楼。所有寡妇站在彼得旁边哭,把多加和她们在一起的时候所做的内衣外衣拿给他看。 40 彼得叫大家出去之后,就跪下来祷告,然后转过身来对着尸体说:“戴比莎,起来!”她就睁开眼睛,一看见彼得,就坐了起来。 41 彼得伸手扶她起来,叫圣徒们和寡妇都进来,把多加活活地交给他们。 42 这事传遍了约帕,就有很多人信了主。 43 此后,彼得在约帕一个制皮工人西门的家里住了许多日子。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
掃羅歸主
9 掃羅繼續用兇狠的話恐嚇主的門徒。他去見大祭司, 2 要取得授權書到大馬士革的各會堂搜捕信耶穌的人,無論男女,都要把他們押回耶路撒冷。
3 當他快到大馬士革的時候,突然有一道光從天上射下來,四面照著他。 4 他倒在地上,聽見有聲音對他說:「掃羅!掃羅!你為什麼迫害我?」 5 他說:「主啊,你是誰?」那聲音說:「我就是你所迫害的耶穌。 6 起來!進城去,有人會告訴你該做的事。」
7 同行的人站在那裡只聽見聲音,卻看不見人,嚇得張口結舌。 8 掃羅爬起來,睜大眼睛,卻什麼也看不見,同伴拉著他的手進了大馬士革。 9 一連三天,掃羅什麼也看不見,也不吃也不喝。
10 這時候,在大馬士革有個門徒名叫亞拿尼亞,他在異象中聽見主呼喚他的名字,就回答說:「主啊,我在這裡。」
11 主說:「起來,到直街的猶大家去見一個來自大數、名叫掃羅的人,他正在向我禱告。 12 我讓他在異象中看見一個名叫亞拿尼亞的人去他那裡,把手按在他身上,使他恢復視力。」
13 亞拿尼亞回答說:「主啊!我聽見許多人說他對耶路撒冷的信徒大加迫害。 14 他來這裡是得到祭司長的授權,要拘捕所有求告你名的人。」
15 主對亞拿尼亞說:「你放心去吧!他是我揀選的器皿,要向外族人、君王和以色列人宣揚我的名。 16 我會讓他知道他必為我的名而受許多的苦。」
17 亞拿尼亞去了,進了那家,就把手按在掃羅身上,說:「掃羅弟兄,在你來的路上向你顯現的主耶穌派我來使你重見光明、被聖靈充滿。」 18 頓時,掃羅的眼睛上有鱗片似的東西脫落,他立刻恢復了視力,便起來接受了洗禮。 19 他吃過東西之後,體力也恢復了。他和大馬士革的門徒住了幾天之後, 20 便到各會堂去宣講:「耶穌是上帝的兒子。」
21 聽的人都大吃一驚,說:「他不就是那在耶路撒冷迫害信徒的人嗎?他到這裡來不是要把大馬士革的信徒押去見祭司長嗎?」
22 但掃羅越發有能力,引經據典證明耶穌是基督,使大馬士革的猶太人驚慌失措。
掃羅逃生
23 過了一段日子,猶太人圖謀殺死掃羅。 24 他們晝夜在城門守候,伺機下手,但這陰謀被掃羅知道了。 25 他的門徒趁夜間用筐子把他從城牆上縋下去。
26 掃羅逃到耶路撒冷後,曾設法與當地的門徒聯絡,可是他們都怕他,不相信他是門徒。 27 只有巴拿巴接待他,帶他去見使徒,向他們陳述掃羅如何在路上遇見主,主如何對他說話,他又如何勇敢地在大馬士革奉耶穌的名傳道。 28 於是,掃羅就在耶路撒冷與使徒一起出入來往,奉主的名放膽傳道。 29 他常常跟那些講希臘話的猶太人辯論,於是他們打算殺掉他。 30 弟兄姊妹知道這消息後,就把掃羅帶到凱撒利亞,然後送他到大數去。
31 當時,猶太、加利利、撒瑪利亞各地的教會都很平安,得到了堅固。信徒們非常敬畏主,又得到聖靈的安慰,人數越來越多。
彼得醫治癱子
32 彼得四處奔波,來到呂大探訪那裡的信徒, 33 遇見一個已經臥床八年、名叫以尼雅的癱子。 34 彼得對他說:「以尼雅,耶穌基督已經醫好你了,起來收拾你的墊子吧!」他立刻應聲而起。 35 呂大和沙崙的居民看見他,都歸向了主。
彼得使死人復活
36 在約帕有個樂善好施的女信徒名叫戴碧達,希臘話叫多加,意思是「羚羊」。 37 當時,她患病死了。有人將她的屍體洗乾淨後,停放在樓上。 38 呂大和約帕相距不遠,門徒聽說彼得在呂大,就派兩個人趕去請他立刻來約帕。 39 彼得便隨他們一同到了那裡,有人領他上樓。眾寡婦都站在彼得周圍哭,並把多加生前縫制的內衣、外衣給他看。
40 彼得叫她們都出去,自己跪下禱告,然後轉身對死者說:「戴碧達,起來!」她便睜開了眼睛,看見彼得,就坐了起來。 41 彼得伸手扶她起來後,叫那些在外面等候的門徒和寡婦進來,把活過來的多加交給他們。 42 這事傳遍了整個約帕,許多人都信了主。 43 彼得繼續留在約帕,在當地一個名叫西門的皮革匠家住了好些日子。
Acts 9
Contemporary English Version
Saul Becomes a Follower of the Lord
(Acts 22.6-16; 26.12-18)
9 Saul kept on threatening to kill the Lord's followers. He even went to the high priest 2 and asked for letters to the leaders of the synagogues in Damascus. He did this because he wanted to arrest and take to Jerusalem any man or woman who had accepted the Lord's Way.[a] 3 When Saul had almost reached Damascus, a bright light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying, “Saul! Saul! Why are you so cruel to me?”
5 “Who are you?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus,” the Lord answered. “I am the one you are so cruel to. 6 Now get up and go into the city, where you will be told what to do.”
7 (A) The men with Saul stood there speechless. They had heard the voice, but they had not seen anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he could not see a thing. Someone then led him by the hand to Damascus, 9 and for three days he was blind and did not eat or drink.
10 A follower named Ananias lived in Damascus, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision. Ananias answered, “Lord, here I am.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the house of Judas on Straight Street. When you get there, you will find a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. Saul is praying, 12 and he has seen a vision. He saw a man named Ananias coming to him and putting his hands on him, so he could see again.”
13 Ananias replied, “Lord, a lot of people have told me about the terrible things this man has done to your followers in Jerusalem. 14 Now the chief priests have given him the power to come here and arrest anyone who worships in your name.”
15 The Lord said to Ananias, “Go! I have chosen him to tell foreigners, kings, and the people of Israel about me. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for worshiping in my name.”
17 Ananias left and went into the house where Saul was staying. Ananias placed his hands on him and said, “Saul, the Lord Jesus has sent me. He is the same one who appeared to you along the road. He wants you to be able to see and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 (B) Suddenly something like fish scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see. He got up and was baptized. 19 Then he ate and felt much better.
Saul Preaches in Damascus
For several days Saul stayed with the Lord's followers in Damascus. 20 Soon he went to the synagogues and started telling people that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 Everyone who heard Saul was amazed and said, “Isn't this the man who caused so much trouble for those people in Jerusalem who worship in the name of Jesus? Didn't he come here to arrest them and take them to the chief priests?”
22 Saul preached with such power that he completely confused the Jewish people in Damascus, as he tried to show them that Jesus is the Messiah.
23 (C) Later some of them made plans to kill Saul, 24 but he found out about it. He learned that they were guarding the gates of the city day and night in order to kill him. 25 Then one night his followers let him down over the city wall in a large basket.
Saul in Jerusalem
26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the followers. But they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe he was a true follower. 27 Then Barnabas helped him by taking him to the apostles. He explained how Saul had seen the Lord and how the Lord had spoken to him. Barnabas also said when Saul was in Damascus, he had spoken bravely in the name of Jesus.
28 Saul moved about freely with the followers in Jerusalem and told everyone about the Lord. 29 He was always arguing with the Jews who spoke Greek, and so they tried to kill him. 30 But the followers found out about this and took Saul to Caesarea. From there they sent him to the city of Tarsus.
31 The church in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria now had a time of peace and kept on worshiping the Lord. The church became stronger, as the Holy Spirit encouraged it and helped it grow.
Peter Heals Aeneas
32 While Peter was traveling from place to place, he visited the Lord's followers who lived in the town of Lydda. 33 There he met a man named Aeneas, who for eight years had been sick in bed and could not move. 34 Peter said to Aeneas, “Jesus Christ has healed you! Get up and make up your bed.”[b] At once he stood up.
35 Many people in the towns of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas and became followers of the Lord.
Peter Brings Dorcas Back to Life
36 In Joppa there was a follower named Tabitha. Her Greek name was Dorcas, which means “deer.” She was always doing good things for people and had given much to the poor. 37 But she got sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. 38 Joppa wasn't far from Lydda, and the followers heard that Peter was there. They sent two men to say to him, “Please come with us as quickly as you can!” 39 At once, Peter went with them.
The men took Peter upstairs into the room. Many widows were there crying. They showed him the coats and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was still alive.
40 After Peter had sent everyone out of the room, he knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to the body of Dorcas and said, “Tabitha, get up!” The woman opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet.
Peter called in the widows and the other followers and showed them that Dorcas had been raised from death. 42 Everyone in Joppa heard what had happened, and many of them put their faith in the Lord. 43 Peter stayed on for a while in Joppa in the house of a man named Simon, who made leather.
Acts 9
King James Version
9 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
