使 徒 行 傳 9
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
扫罗成为耶稣的门徒
9 与此同时，扫罗还在威胁着要杀主的门徒。他到大祭司那里， 2 请求他写些信给大马士革的会堂，如果他发现了信主之道的门徒时，不论男女，可以逮捕他们，并押回耶路撒冷。
3 当他快走到大马士革的时候，突然从天上降下一束光，把他围在中间， 4 他栽倒在地上。这时，他听见一个声音对他说∶“扫罗，扫罗，你为什么要迫害我？”
5 扫罗说∶“你是谁，先生？”
那个声音又说∶“我是耶稣，就是被你迫害的那位。 6 起来，进城去，那儿会有人告诉你该做什么。”
7 与他同行的人都站在那里，哑口无言。他们听见了那个声音，可是却看不见任何人。 8 扫罗从地上爬起来，可再睁开眼时，他却什么都看不见了。人们只好拉着他的手，把他领进了大马士革城。 9 他三天看不见东西，也不吃不喝。
10 大马士革城里有一个叫亚拿尼亚的门徒。主在幻象中对他说∶“亚拿尼亚！”
他回答说∶“我在这儿，主。”
11 主又对他说∶“马上起来，到叫直街的那条街去，在犹大 [a]的家门口找一个大数人，名字叫扫罗，因为他在祈祷。 12 他在幻象中，看到一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人走进来，把手放在他的头上，以便他能再看见。”
13 亚拿尼亚答道∶“我从很多人那里听说过这个人。他在耶路撒冷对你的圣徒们所做的种种恶事，我都听说了。 14 而且他还从祭司长那里得到许可，要到这里逮捕那些信仰你的人们 [b]。”
15 可是，主却对他说∶“去吧！这个人是我选中的工具，要在外族人和君王面前，以及以色列人的面前，讲述关于我的事情。 16 我会亲自向他展示，为了我的名字，他必须遭受多少痛苦。”
17 亚拿尼亚离开，走进那所房子，把手放在扫罗的身上，说道∶“扫罗兄弟，主－就是在你来此途中向你显现的耶稣－打发我来，以便你能重见光明，充满圣灵。” 18 立即，有像鱼鳞似的东西从扫罗的眼睛里落下，他又能看见东西了。他站起身来，受了洗礼。 19 吃了些东西后，恢复了体力。
扫罗开始传道
扫罗在大马士革与门徒们在一起住了一段时间。 20 然后，他便径直来到各个会堂，开始宣传耶稣。他说∶“耶稣是上帝之子。”
21 所有听到的人都觉得十分震惊，他们说∶“他难道不就是那个在耶路撒冷想毁灭信赖耶稣的人吗？他来这里的目的是想逮捕他们，并把他们带回祭司长那里去。”
22 但是，扫罗越来越有力，他证明耶稣就是基督，驳倒了住在大马士革的犹太人。
扫罗从犹太人那里逃脱
23 又过了很多天，犹太人密谋要杀害扫罗。 24 可扫罗得知了这个阴谋的风声。犹太人日夜把守着城门，要杀扫罗。 25 但是，夜里，他的门徒们帮他离开了此城，他们把他放进筐里，从城墙上的一个窟窿里把他缒了下去。
扫罗在耶路撒冷
26 扫罗来到耶路撒冷，试图加入耶稣门徒的行列。但他们都非常害怕他，谁都不相信他也成了耶稣的门徒。 27 但是，巴拿巴收留了他，带他来见使徒，告诉他们扫罗在路上如何见到了主，主对他讲过话，还告诉他们扫罗在大马士革时，是多么大胆地以耶稣的名义讲话。
28 扫罗便与他们呆在一起，他在耶路撒冷自由出入，大胆地以主的名义讲话。 29 他与讲希腊语的犹太人交谈、辩论，可那些人却企图要杀害他。 30 当兄弟们得知这个消息后，就把扫罗带到了该撒利亚，然后又把他送到了大数。
31 所以，犹太、加利利和撒玛利亚的教会出现了一段和平时期。教会得到了加强，门徒们生活在对主充满了敬畏之情之中，并受到圣灵鼓舞，所以门徒的人数增多了。
彼得在吕大和约帕
32 此时，彼得正四处奔走。一次他去探访住在吕大的上帝的圣民， 33 他在那里遇见一个叫以尼雅的人，此人瘫痪，已卧床有八年之久。 34 彼得对他说∶“以尼雅，耶稣基督让你痊愈了，站起来，收拾你的被褥。”话音刚落，以尼雅就站了起来。 35 住在吕大以及沙仑的人们都看到了他，并且都归顺了主。 36 约帕有一个耶稣的门徒，名叫大比大（希腊文是多加，即羚羊）她一生行善，周济穷人。 37 当时，她生病死了。人们洗净了她的尸体，把她放到了楼上。吕大离约帕不远。 38 当约帕的门徒听说彼得在吕大时，便派两个人来请求他说∶“请赶快到我们这儿来。” 39 彼得便与他们一起启程了。彼得一到，他们就把他领到了楼上。这时，所有的寡妇都围在彼得的身边，边哭边让彼得看多加在世时缝制的内衣和外衣。 40 彼得让所有的人都出去后，跪下来祈祷，然后转向尸体说∶“大比大，起来。”大比大睁开眼睛，看见了彼得，便坐起身来。 41 彼得伸出手，扶她站了起来。然后，彼得把圣徒和寡妇们都叫了进来，把活着的大比大交给了他们。 42 这件事在整个约帕家喻户晓，许多人信仰了主。 43 此后，彼得又在约帕住了很多天，和一个名叫西门的硝皮匠住在一起。

扫罗归主
9 扫罗继续用凶狠的话恐吓主的门徒。他去见大祭司， 2 要取得授权书到大马士革的各会堂搜捕信耶稣的人，无论男女，都要把他们押回耶路撒冷。
3 当他快到大马士革的时候，突然有一道光从天上射下来，四面照着他。 4 他倒在地上，听见有声音对他说：“扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？” 5 他说：“主啊，你是谁？”那声音说：“我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 6 起来！进城去，有人会告诉你该做的事。”
7 同行的人站在那里只听见声音，却看不见人，吓得张口结舌。 8 扫罗爬起来，睁大眼睛，却什么也看不见，同伴拉着他的手进了大马士革。 9 一连三天，扫罗什么也看不见，也不吃也不喝。
10 这时候，在大马士革有个门徒名叫亚拿尼亚，他在异象中听见主呼唤他的名字，就回答说：“主啊，我在这里。”
11 主说：“起来，到直街的犹大家去见一个来自大数、名叫扫罗的人，他正在向我祷告。 12 我让他在异象中看见一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人去他那里，把手按在他身上，使他恢复视力。”
13 亚拿尼亚回答说：“主啊！我听见许多人说他对耶路撒冷的信徒大加迫害。 14 他来这里是得到祭司长的授权，要拘捕所有求告你名的人。”
15 主对亚拿尼亚说：“你放心去吧！他是我拣选的器皿，要向外族人、君王和以色列人宣扬我的名。 16 我会让他知道他必为我的名而受许多的苦。”
17 亚拿尼亚去了，进了那家，就把手按在扫罗身上，说：“扫罗弟兄，在你来的路上向你显现的主耶稣派我来使你重见光明、被圣灵充满。” 18 顿时，扫罗的眼睛上有鳞片似的东西脱落，他立刻恢复了视力，便起来接受了洗礼。 19 他吃过东西之后，体力也恢复了。他和大马士革的门徒住了几天之后， 20 便到各会堂去宣讲：“耶稣是上帝的儿子。”
21 听的人都大吃一惊，说：“他不就是那在耶路撒冷迫害信徒的人吗？他到这里来不是要把大马士革的信徒押去见祭司长吗？”
22 但扫罗越发有能力，引经据典证明耶稣是基督，使大马士革的犹太人惊慌失措。
扫罗逃生
23 过了一段日子，犹太人图谋杀死扫罗。 24 他们昼夜在城门守候，伺机下手，但这阴谋被扫罗知道了。 25 他的门徒趁夜间用筐子把他从城墙上缒下去。
26 扫罗逃到耶路撒冷后，曾设法与当地的门徒联络，可是他们都怕他，不相信他是门徒。 27 只有巴拿巴接待他，带他去见使徒，向他们陈述扫罗如何在路上遇见主，主如何对他说话，他又如何勇敢地在大马士革奉耶稣的名传道。 28 于是，扫罗就在耶路撒冷与使徒一起出入来往，奉主的名放胆传道。 29 他常常跟那些讲希腊话的犹太人辩论，于是他们打算杀掉他。 30 弟兄姊妹知道这消息后，就把扫罗带到凯撒利亚，然后送他到大数去。
31 当时，犹太、加利利、撒玛利亚各地的教会都很平安，得到了坚固。信徒们非常敬畏主，又得到圣灵的安慰，人数越来越多。
彼得医治瘫子
32 彼得四处奔波，来到吕大探访那里的信徒， 33 遇见一个已经卧床八年、名叫以尼雅的瘫子。 34 彼得对他说：“以尼雅，耶稣基督已经医好你了，起来收拾你的垫子吧！”他立刻应声而起。 35 吕大和沙仑的居民看见他，都归向了主。
彼得使死人复活
36 在约帕有个乐善好施的女信徒名叫戴碧达，希腊话叫多加，意思是“羚羊”。 37 当时，她患病死了。有人将她的尸体洗干净后，停放在楼上。 38 吕大和约帕相距不远，门徒听说彼得在吕大，就派两个人赶去请他立刻来约帕。 39 彼得便随他们一同到了那里，有人领他上楼。众寡妇都站在彼得周围哭，并把多加生前缝制的内衣、外衣给他看。
40 彼得叫她们都出去，自己跪下祷告，然后转身对死者说：“戴碧达，起来！”她便睁开了眼睛，看见彼得，就坐了起来。 41 彼得伸手扶她起来后，叫那些在外面等候的门徒和寡妇进来，把活过来的多加交给他们。 42 这事传遍了整个约帕，许多人都信了主。 43 彼得继续留在约帕，在当地一个名叫西门的皮革匠家住了好些日子。
Acts 9
Christian Standard Bible
The Damascus Road
9 Now Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples(A) of the Lord. He went to the high priest(B) 2 and requested letters(C) from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way,(D) he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As(E) he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul said.
“I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.(F) 8 Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus. 9 He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink.
Saul’s Baptism
10 There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.”
“Here I am, Lord,” he replied.(G)
11 “Get up and go to the street called Straight,” the Lord said to him, “to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus(H) named Saul, since he is praying there. 12 In a vision[a] he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him so that he may regain his sight.”(I)
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.(J) 14 And he has authority here from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.”(K)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this man is my chosen instrument(L) to take my name to Gentiles,(M) kings, and Israelites.(N) 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”(O)
17 Ananias went and entered the house. He placed his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(P)
18 At once something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. 19 And after taking some food, he regained his strength.(Q)
Saul Proclaiming the Messiah
Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for some time. 20 Immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues: “He is the Son of God.”(R)
21 All who heard him were astounded and said, “Isn’t this the man in Jerusalem who was causing havoc for those who called on this name and came here for the purpose of taking them as prisoners to the chief priests?” (S)
22 But Saul grew stronger and kept confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.
23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him, 24 but Saul learned of their plot. So they were watching the gates day and night intending to kill him,(T) 25 but his disciples took him by night and lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the wall.(U)
Saul in Jerusalem
26 When he arrived in Jerusalem,(V) he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple. 27 Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly(W) in the name of Jesus.(X) 28 Saul was coming and going with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He conversed and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they tried to kill him.(Y) 30 When the brothers found out, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.(Z)
The Church’s Growth
31 So the church(AA) throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
The Healing of Aeneas
32 As Peter was traveling from place to place, he also came down to the saints(AB) who lived in Lydda.(AC) 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,”[b] and immediately he got up.(AD) 35 So all who lived in Lydda and Sharon(AE) saw him and turned to the Lord.
Dorcas Restored to Life
36 In Joppa(AF) there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated Dorcas). She was always doing good works(AG) and acts of charity. 37 About that time she became sick and died. After washing her, they placed her in a room upstairs. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him who urged him, “Don’t delay in coming with us.” 39 Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him to the room upstairs. And all the widows approached him, weeping and showing him the robes and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down, prayed, and turning toward the body said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.(AH) 41 He gave her his hand and helped her stand up. He called the saints and widows and presented her alive. 42 This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 Peter stayed for some time in Joppa with Simon,(AI) a leather tanner.
