使徒行傳 13
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

聖靈派巴拿巴和掃羅往外傳道

13 在安提阿的教會中有幾位先知和教師，就是巴拿巴和稱呼尼結的西面、古利奈人路求、與分封之王希律同養的馬念並掃羅。 2 他們侍奉主、禁食的時候，聖靈說：「要為我分派巴拿巴和掃羅，去做我召他們所做的工。」 3 於是禁食、禱告，按手在他們頭上，就打發他們去了。

4 他們既被聖靈差遣，就下到西流基，從那裡坐船往塞浦路斯去。 5 到了撒拉米，就在猶太人各會堂裡傳講神的道，也有約翰做他們的幫手。 6 經過全島，直到帕弗，在那裡遇見一個有法術、假充先知的猶太人，名叫巴耶穌。 7 這人常和方伯士求‧保羅同在。士求‧保羅是個通達人，他請了巴拿巴和掃羅來，要聽神的道。

以呂馬抵擋方伯信主因而瞎眼

8 只是那行法術的以呂馬（這名翻出來就是「行法術」的意思）抵擋使徒，要叫方伯不信真道。 9 掃羅，又名保羅，被聖靈充滿，定睛看他， 10 說：「你這充滿各樣詭詐奸惡，魔鬼的兒子、眾善的仇敵，你混亂主的正道還不止住嗎？ 11 現在主的手加在你身上，你要瞎眼，暫且不見日光。」他的眼睛立刻昏矇黑暗，四下裡求人拉著手領他。 12 方伯看見所做的事，很稀奇主的道，就信了。

稱呼馬可的約翰離開保羅

13 保羅和他的同人從帕弗開船，來到旁非利亞的別加，約翰就離開他們，回耶路撒冷去。 14 他們離了別加往前行，來到彼西底的安提阿，在安息日進會堂坐下。 15 讀完了律法和先知的書，管會堂的叫人過去，對他們說：「二位兄台，若有什麼勸勉眾人的話，請說。」

保羅述說以色列古事

16 保羅就站起來，舉手說：「以色列人和一切敬畏神的人，請聽！ 17 這以色列民的神揀選了我們的祖宗，當民寄居埃及的時候抬舉他們，用大能的手領他們出來。 18 又在曠野容忍[a]他們約有四十年。 19 既滅了迦南地七族的人，就把那地分給他們為業。 20 此後給他們設立士師，約有四百五十年，直到先知撒母耳的時候。 21 後來他們求一個王，神就將便雅憫支派中基士的兒子掃羅給他們做王四十年。 22 既廢了掃羅，就選立大衛做他們的王，又為他作見證說：『我尋得耶西的兒子大衛，他是合我心意的人，凡事要遵行我的旨意。』 23 從這人的後裔中，神已經照著所應許的為以色列人立了一位救主，就是耶穌。

述說耶穌在世的事

24 「在他沒有出來以先，約翰向以色列眾民宣講悔改的洗禮。 25 約翰將行盡他的程途，說：『你們以為我是誰？我不是基督。只是有一位在我以後來的，我解他腳上的鞋帶也是不配的。』 26 弟兄們，亞伯拉罕的子孫和你們中間敬畏神的人哪，這救世的道是傳給我們的。 27 耶路撒冷居住的人和他們的官長，因為不認識基督，也不明白每安息日所讀眾先知的書，就把基督定了死罪，正應了先知的預言。 28 雖然查不出他有當死的罪來，還是求彼拉多殺他。 29 既成就了經上指著他所記的一切話，就把他從木頭上取下來，放在墳墓裡。 30 神卻叫他從死裡復活。 31 那從加利利同他上耶路撒冷的人多日看見他，這些人如今在民間是他的見證。 32 我們也報好信息給你們，就是：那應許祖宗的話， 33 神已經向我們這做兒女的應驗，叫耶穌復活了。正如《詩篇》第二篇上記著說：『你是我的兒子，我今日生你。』 34 論到神叫他從死裡復活，不再歸於朽壞，就這樣說：『我必將所應許大衛那聖潔、可靠的恩典賜給你們。』 35 又有一篇上說：『你必不叫你的聖者見朽壞。』 36 大衛在世的時候遵行了神的旨意，就睡了[b]，歸到他祖宗那裡，已見朽壞。 37 唯獨神所復活的，他並未見朽壞。

證明耶穌為救主

38 「所以弟兄們，你們當曉得：赦罪的道是由這人傳給你們的！ 39 你們靠摩西的律法，在一切不得稱義的事上信靠這人，就都得稱義了。 40 所以你們務要小心，免得先知書上所說的臨到你們。 41 主說：『你們這輕慢的人，要觀看，要驚奇，要滅亡！因為在你們的時候，我行一件事，雖有人告訴你們，你們總是不信。』」

42 他們出會堂的時候，眾人請他們到下安息日再講這話給他們聽。 43 散會以後，猶太人和敬虔進猶太教的人多有跟從保羅、巴拿巴的。二人對他們講道，勸他們務要恆久在神的恩中。

44 到下安息日，合城的人幾乎都來聚集，要聽神的道。 45 但猶太人看見人這樣多，就滿心嫉妒，硬駁保羅所說的話，並且毀謗。 46 保羅和巴拿巴放膽說：「神的道先講給你們原是應當的，只因你們棄絕這道，斷定自己不配得永生，我們就轉向外邦人去。 47 因為主曾這樣吩咐我們說：『我已經立你做外邦人的光，叫你施行救恩，直到地極。』」 48 外邦人聽見這話，就歡喜了，讚美神的道，凡預定得永生的人都信了。 49 於是主的道傳遍了那一帶地方。

保羅巴拿巴被逐出境

50 但猶太人挑唆虔敬、尊貴的婦女和城內有名望的人，逼迫保羅、巴拿巴，將他們趕出境外。 51 二人對著眾人跺下腳上的塵土，就往以哥念去了。 52 門徒滿心喜樂，又被聖靈充滿。

Barnabas and Saul Sent from Antioch by the Holy Spirit

13 Now there were at (A)Antioch, in the (B)church that was there, (C)prophets and (D)teachers: (E)Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of (F)Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with (G)Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 And while they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, (H)the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me (I)Barnabas and Saul for (J)the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, when they had fasted and (K)prayed and (L)laid their hands on them, (M)they sent them away.

On Cyprus

4 So, being (N)sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to (O)Cyprus. 5 And when they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in (P)the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had (Q)John as their helper. 6 And when they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a (R)magician, a Jewish (S)false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the (T)proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the (U)magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the (V)proconsul away from (W)the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also known as Paul, [a](X)filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him, 10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you (Y)son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked (Z)the straight ways of the [b]Lord? 11 Now, behold, (AA)the hand of the [c]Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time.” And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand. 12 Then the (AB)proconsul believed when he saw what had happened, being astonished at (AC)the teaching of the Lord.

In Pisidian Antioch

13 Now after Paul and his companions set sail from (AD)Paphos, they came to (AE)Perga in (AF)Pamphylia, but (AG)John left them and returned to Jerusalem. 14 But going on from Perga, they arrived at (AH)Pisidian (AI)Antioch. And on (AJ)the Sabbath day, they went into (AK)the synagogue and sat down. 15 And after (AL)the reading of the Law and (AM)the Prophets (AN)the synagogue officials sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.” 16 So Paul stood up, and (AO)motioning with his hand said,

“Men of Israel, and (AP)you who fear God, listen: 17 The God of this people Israel (AQ)chose our fathers and [d](AR)lifted up the people during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm (AS)He led them out from it. 18 And for (AT)a period of about forty years (AU)He put up with them in the wilderness. 19 (AV)And when He destroyed (AW)seven nations in the land of Canaan, He (AX)distributed their land as an inheritance—all of which took (AY)about 450 years. 20 After these things He (AZ)gave them judges until (BA)Samuel the prophet. 21 Then they (BB)asked for a king, and God gave them (BC)Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22 And after He had (BD)removed him, He raised up David to be their king, about whom He also said, bearing witness, ‘(BE)I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My [e]will.’ 23 (BF)From the seed of this man, (BG)according to promise, God has brought to Israel (BH)a Savior, Jesus, 24 after (BI)John had preached before [f]His coming a (BJ)baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 And as John (BK)was fulfilling his course, (BL)he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me of whom I am not worthy to untie the sandals of His feet.’

26 “Brothers, sons of Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the word of (BM)this salvation was sent. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem, and their (BN)rulers, (BO)recognizing neither Him nor the [g]utterances of (BP)the prophets which are (BQ)read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him. 28 And though they found no ground for death, they (BR)asked Pilate that He be [h]executed. 29 And when they had (BS)finished all that was written concerning Him, (BT)they took Him down from (BU)the tree and (BV)laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God (BW)raised Him from the dead; 31 and for many days (BX)He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now (BY)His witnesses to the people. 32 And we (BZ)proclaim to you the good news of (CA)the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled this promise [i]to our children in that He (CB)raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘(CC)You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’ 34 But that He (CD)raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He has spoken in this way: ‘(CE)I will give you the holy and [j]faithful lovingkindnesses of David.’ 35 Therefore He also says in another Psalm, ‘(CF)You will not give Your [k]Holy One over to see corruption.’ 36 For (CG)David, after he had [l]served (CH)the purpose of God in his own generation, (CI)fell asleep and was laid among his fathers and saw corruption; 37 but He whom God (CJ)raised did not see corruption. 38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that (CK)through [m]Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and that in Him, (CL)everyone who believes is justified from all things which you could not be justified from [n]through the Law of Moses. 40 Therefore watch out, so that the thing spoken of (CM)in the Prophets may not come upon you:

41 ‘(CN)Look, you scoffers, and marvel, and [o]perish;
For I am accomplishing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, though someone should recount it to you.’”

42 And as [p]Paul and Barnabas were leaving, the people kept pleading that these words might be spoken to them the next (CO)Sabbath. 43 Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the (CP)God-fearing [q](CQ)proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in (CR)the grace of God.

Many Gentiles Believe

44 And the next (CS)Sabbath, nearly the whole city assembled to hear the word of [r]the [s]Lord. 45 But when (CT)the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, [t]blaspheming. 46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you (CU)first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, (CV)we are turning to the Gentiles. 47 For so the [u]Lord has commanded us,

‘(CW)I have placed You as a (CX)light for the Gentiles,
That You may [v]bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying (CY)the word of [w]the [x]Lord, and as many as (CZ)had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 And (DA)the word of the [y]Lord was being spread through the whole region. 50 But (DB)the Jews incited the [z](DC)God-fearing women (DD)of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their [aa]district. 51 But (DE)having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they went to (DF)Iconium. 52 And the disciples were continually (DG)filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Preparing for the Mission Field

13 In the church that was at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen, a close friend of Herod the tetrarch,(A) and Saul.

2 As they were ministering to[a] the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to.”(B) 3 Then after they had fasted, prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them off.(C)

The Mission to Cyprus

4 Being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they came down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 Arriving in Salamis, they proclaimed God’s message in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their assistant.(D) 6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came across a sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.(E) 7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and desired to hear God’s message.(F) 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (this is the meaning of his name) opposed(G) them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.(H)

9 Then Saul—also called Paul—filled with the Holy Spirit, stared straight at the sorcerer 10 and said, “You son of the Devil,(I) full of all deceit and all fraud, enemy of all righteousness! Won’t you ever stop perverting the straight paths(J) of the Lord? 11 Now, look! The Lord’s hand is against you.(K) You are going to be blind, and will not see the sun for a time.” Suddenly a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the proconsul, seeing what happened, believed and was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.(L)

Paul’s Sermon in Antioch of Pisidia

13 Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John, however, left them and went back to Jerusalem.(M) 14 They continued their journey from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.(N) 15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people, you can speak.”(O)

16 Then Paul stood up and motioned with his hand and said: “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen!(P) 17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, exalted the people during their stay in the land of Egypt, and led them out of it with a mighty[b] arm.(Q) 18 And for about 40 years He put up with them[c] in the wilderness;(R) 19 then after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan,(S) He gave their land to them as an inheritance. 20 This all took about 450 years. After this, He gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.(T) 21 Then they asked for a king, so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for 40 years.(U) 22 After removing him,(V) He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man loyal to Me,(W)[d] who will carry out all My will.’

23 “From this man’s descendants, according to the promise, God brought the Savior, Jesus,[e] to Israel.(X) 24 Before He came to public attention,[f] John had previously proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.(Y) 25 Then as John was completing his life’s work, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the One. But look! Someone is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on His feet.’(Z)

26 “Brothers, sons of Abraham’s race, and those among you who fear God, the message of this salvation has been sent to us.(AA) 27 For the residents of Jerusalem and their rulers, since they did not recognize Him or the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled their words[g] by condemning Him.(AB) 28 Though they found no grounds for the death penalty, they asked Pilate to have Him killed.(AC) 29 When they had fulfilled all that had been written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and put Him in a tomb.(AD) 30 But God raised Him from the dead,(AE) 31 and He appeared for many days to those who came with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.(AF) 32 And we ourselves proclaim to you the good news of the promise that was made to our ancestors.(AG) 33 God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm:

You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.[h](AH)[i]

34 Since He raised Him from the dead, never to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, I will grant you the faithful covenant blessings[j] made to David.(AI)[k] 35 Therefore He also says in another passage, You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.(AJ)[l] 36 For David, after serving his own generation in God’s plan, fell asleep,(AK) was buried with his fathers, and decayed.(AL) 37 But the One God raised up did not decay. 38 Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,(AM) 39 and everyone who believes in Him is justified from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses.(AN) 40 So beware that what is said in the prophets does not happen to you:

41 Look, you scoffers,
marvel and vanish away,
because I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will never believe,
even if someone were to explain it to you.”(AO)[m]

Paul and Barnabas in Antioch

42 As they[n] were leaving, the people[o] begged that these matters be presented to them the following Sabbath. 43 After the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and persuading them to continue in the grace of God.(AP)

44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the message of the Lord.[p] 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to oppose what Paul was saying by insulting him.(AQ)

46 Then Paul and Barnabas boldly said: “It was necessary that God’s message be spoken to you first. But since you reject it and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles!(AR) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you
a light for the Gentiles
to bring salvation
to the ends[q] of the earth.”(AS)[r]

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the message of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 So the message of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the prominent women, who worshiped God, and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.(AT) 51 But they shook the dust off their feet(AU) against them(AV) and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.(AW)

23 ‘From this man’s descendants, as he promised, God brought to Israel(X) the Saviour, Jesus.[e] 24 Before his coming to public attention, John had previously proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.(Y) 25 Now as John was completing his mission, he said, “Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But one is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.”(Z)

26 ‘Brothers and sisters, children of Abraham’s race, and those among you who fear God, it is to us that the word of this salvation has been sent.(AA) 27 Since the residents of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognise him or the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, they have fulfilled their words by condemning him.(AB) 28 Though they found no grounds for the death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him killed.(AC) 29 When they had carried out all that had been written about him, they took him down from the tree and put him in a tomb.(AD) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(AE) 31 and he appeared for many days to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.(AF) 32 And we ourselves proclaim to you the good news of the promise that was made to our ancestors.(AG) 33 God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm:

34 As to his raising him from the dead, never to return to decay, he has spoken in this way, I will give you the holy and sure promises of David.[h](AI) 35 Therefore he also says in another passage, You will not let your Holy One see decay.[i](AJ) 36 For David, after serving God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep,(AK) was buried with his fathers, and decayed,(AL) 37 but the one God raised up did not decay. 38 Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers and sisters, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you.(AM) 39 Everyone who believes is justified[j] through him from everything that you could not be justified from through the law of Moses.(AN) 40 So beware that what is said in the prophets does not happen to you:

41 Look, you scoffers,
marvel and vanish away,
because I am doing a work in your days,
a work that you will never believe,
even if someone were to explain it to you.’[k](AO)

Paul and Barnabas in Antioch

42 As they were leaving, the people[l] urged them to speak about these matters the following Sabbath. 43 After the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and urging them to continue in the grace of God.(AP)

44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of the Lord.[m] 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what Paul was saying, insulting him.(AQ)

46 Paul and Barnabas boldly replied, ‘It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.(AR) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

I have made you
a light for the Gentiles
to bring salvation
to the ends of the earth.’[n](AS)

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honoured the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jews incited the prominent God-fearing women and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.(AT) 51 But Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet(AU) against them(AV) and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.(AW)
