使徒行傳 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
23 保羅注視著公會的人,說:「弟兄們,我在上帝面前行事為人一向問心無愧。」 2 大祭司亞拿尼亞一聽,就命那些站在旁邊的人打保羅的嘴。 3 保羅對亞拿尼亞說:「你這偽君子[a],上帝要擊打你!你坐在那裡不是應當依法審問我嗎?你怎麼違法叫人打我?」
4 站在旁邊的人說:「你竟敢辱罵上帝的大祭司?」 5 保羅說:「弟兄們,我不知道他是大祭司。我知道聖經上說,『不可咒詛百姓的官長。』」
6 保羅發現他們一些是法利賽人,一些是撒都該人,就在公會中高聲說:「弟兄們,我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫。我因為盼望死人復活,才在這裡受審!」 7 這句話立刻引起法利賽人和撒都該人之間的爭論,公會分成了兩派。 8 因為撒都該人認為沒有復活,也沒有天使和靈,而法利賽人認為這些都有。
9 眾人大聲喧嚷,有幾個法利賽派的律法教師站起來爭辯說:「我們找不出這人有什麼錯處,也許真的有靈或天使跟他說過話。」 10 爭論越來越激烈,千夫長怕保羅會被他們扯碎了,就派人把他從人群中救出來,帶回軍營。
11 當天晚上,主站在保羅身旁對他說:「要勇敢!正如你在耶路撒冷為我作了見證,你也必須在羅馬為我做見證。」
陰謀殺害保羅
12 天亮後,猶太人設下陰謀,並起誓說:「不殺保羅,誓不吃喝!」 13 有四十多人參與了這個陰謀。 14 他們去見祭司長和長老,說:「我們已經發了誓,不殺保羅不吃飯。 15 請你們和公會出面通知千夫長,請他把保羅押到你們這裡來,就說要進一步審訊他。我們準備在他到達之前殺掉他!」
16 保羅的外甥聽到這一陰謀,就去軍營通知保羅。 17 保羅請來一位百夫長,說:「請趕快帶這青年去見千夫長,他有要事稟告!」 18 百夫長領那青年去見千夫長,說:「那囚犯保羅叫我帶這青年來,說有要事稟告。」
19 千夫長就拉著那青年的手走到一旁,私下問他:「你有什麼事要告訴我?」 20 他說:「那些猶太人約好了,要請求你明天帶保羅到公會受審,假裝要詳細審問他的事。 21 你不要答應他們,因為他們有四十多個人會埋伏在半路,並且還起誓說,『不殺保羅就不吃不喝』。他們現在已經準備就緒,就等你答應了。」
22 千夫長聽後,就叫他回去,並叮囑道:「你向我稟告的事,不要告訴別人。」
保羅被押往凱撒利亞
23 於是,千夫長召來兩名百夫長,吩咐道:「預備二百名步兵、七十名騎兵、二百名長槍手,今晚九時出發去凱撒利亞。 24 要給保羅預備坐騎,護送他安全抵達腓利斯總督那裡。」
25 千夫長寫了公文給腓利斯總督,內容如下: 26 「克勞狄·呂西亞敬問腓利斯總督大人安。 27 這人被猶太人抓住,險些被他們殺害。我得知他是羅馬公民,便帶兵去救了他。 28 為了弄清楚他們控告他的緣由,我押他到猶太人的公會受審, 29 發現他被控告與他們的律法有關,他並沒有犯該被監禁或處死的罪。 30 我得知有人準備暗殺他,便立即護送他到你那裡,並通知他的控告者去你那裡告他。」
31 軍兵奉命行事,連夜護送保羅到安提帕底。 32 第二天,由騎兵繼續護送,其餘軍兵返回軍營。 33 他們到了凱撒利亞,將公文呈交總督,把保羅交給他。 34 總督看過公文,便問保羅是哪省的人,得知保羅是基利迦人,就說: 35 「等告你的人來了,我會審理你的案子。」於是下令把保羅關在希律的王府裡。

Acts 23
New International Version
23 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin(A) and said, “My brothers,(B) I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience(C) to this day.” 2 At this the high priest Ananias(D) ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.(E) 3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall!(F) You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”(G)
4 Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God’s high priest!”
5 Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’[a]”(H)
6 Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees(I) and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers,(J) I am a Pharisee,(K) descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.”(L) 7 When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection,(M) and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)
9 There was a great uproar, and some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees(N) stood up and argued vigorously. “We find nothing wrong with this man,”(O) they said. “What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”(P) 10 The dispute became so violent that the commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them. He ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force and bring him into the barracks.(Q)
11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage!(R) As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”(S)
The Plot to Kill Paul
12 The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy(T) and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.(U) 13 More than forty men were involved in this plot. 14 They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.(V) 15 Now then, you and the Sanhedrin(W) petition the commander to bring him before you on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”
16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks(X) and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.” 18 So he took him to the commander.
The centurion said, “Paul, the prisoner,(Y) sent for me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside and asked, “What is it you want to tell me?”
20 He said: “Some Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin(Z) tomorrow on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about him.(AA) 21 Don’t give in to them, because more than forty(AB) of them are waiting in ambush for him. They have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him.(AC) They are ready now, waiting for your consent to their request.”
22 The commander dismissed the young man with this warning: “Don’t tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
Paul Transferred to Caesarea
23 Then he called two of his centurions and ordered them, “Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen[b] to go to Caesarea(AD) at nine tonight.(AE) 24 Provide horses for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Governor Felix.”(AF)
25 He wrote a letter as follows:
26 Claudius Lysias,
To His Excellency,(AG) Governor Felix:
Greetings.(AH)
27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him,(AI) but I came with my troops and rescued him,(AJ) for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen.(AK) 28 I wanted to know why they were accusing him, so I brought him to their Sanhedrin.(AL) 29 I found that the accusation had to do with questions about their law,(AM) but there was no charge against him(AN) that deserved death or imprisonment. 30 When I was informed(AO) of a plot(AP) to be carried out against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also ordered his accusers(AQ) to present to you their case against him.
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul with them during the night and brought him as far as Antipatris. 32 The next day they let the cavalry(AR) go on with him, while they returned to the barracks.(AS) 33 When the cavalry(AT) arrived in Caesarea,(AU) they delivered the letter to the governor(AV) and handed Paul over to him. 34 The governor read the letter and asked what province he was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,(AW) 35 he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers(AX) get here.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard(AY) in Herod’s palace.

使徒行傳 23
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
23 保羅定睛看着議會的人,說:「諸位弟兄,我在 神面前,行事為人都是憑着清白的良心,直到今日。」 2 亞拿尼亞大祭司就吩咐旁邊站着的人打他的嘴。 3 這時,保羅對他說:「你這粉飾的牆, 神要打你!你坐堂是要按律法審問我,你竟違背律法,命令人打我嗎?」 4 站在旁邊的人說:「你竟敢辱罵 神的大祭司嗎?」 5 保羅說:「弟兄們,我不知道他是大祭司;因為經上記着:『不可毀謗你百姓的官長。』」
6 保羅看出他們一部分是撒都該人,一部分是法利賽人,就在議會中喊着:「諸位弟兄,我是法利賽人,也是法利賽人的子孫。我現在受審問是為有關死人復活的盼望。」 7 說了這話,法利賽人和撒都該人爭論起來,會眾分為兩派。 8 因為撒都該人一方面說沒有復活,另一方面沒有天使和鬼魂;法利賽人卻承認兩方面都有。 9 於是大大地爭吵起來;有幾個法利賽派的文士站起來爭辯說:「我們看不出這人有甚麼錯處;說不定有鬼魂或者天使對他說過話呢!」 10 那時爭辯越來越大,千夫長恐怕保羅被他們扯碎了,就命令士兵下去,把他從眾人當中搶出來,帶進營樓去。
11 當夜,主站在保羅旁邊,說:「放心吧!你怎樣在耶路撒冷為我作見證,也必怎樣在羅馬為我作見證。」
殺害保羅的陰謀
12 到了天亮,猶太人同謀起誓,說「若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝」。 13 參與這陰謀的有四十多人。 14 他們來見祭司長和長老,說:「我們已經發了重誓,若不先殺保羅就甚麼也不吃。 15 現在你們和議會要通知千夫長,叫他把保羅帶到你們這裏來,假裝要詳細調查他的事;我們已經預備好,在他來到這裏以前就殺掉他。」
16 保羅的外甥聽見他們設下埋伏,就來到營樓裏告訴保羅。 17 保羅請一個百夫長來,說:「你領這青年去見千夫長,他有事告訴他。」 18 於是百夫長把他領去見千夫長,說:「被囚的保羅請我到他那裏,求我領這青年來見你;他有事告訴你。」 19 千夫長就拉着他的手,走到一旁,私下問他:「你有甚麼事告訴我呢?」 20 他說:「猶太人已經約定,要求你明天把保羅帶到議會去,假裝要詳細查問他的事。 21 你切不要隨從他們,因為他們有四十多人埋伏,已經起誓,若不先殺掉保羅就不吃不喝。現在都預備好了,只等你的允准。」 22 於是千夫長打發那青年走,囑咐他:「不要告訴人,你已將這些事報告我了。」
保羅被解交腓力斯總督
23 於是,千夫長叫了兩個百夫長來,說:「預備步兵二百、騎兵七十、長槍手二百,今夜九點往凱撒利亞去; 24 也要預備牲口讓保羅騎上,護送到腓力斯總督那裏去。」 25 千夫長又寫了公文,大略說: 26 「克勞第‧呂西亞向腓力斯總督大人請安。 27 這個人被猶太人拿住,快被殺害時,我得知他是羅馬人,就帶士兵下去,把他救了出來。 28 因為我要知道他們告他的罪狀,就帶他下到他們的議會去。 29 我查知他被告發是因他們律法上的爭論,並沒有甚麼該死或該監禁的罪名。 30 後來有人把要害他的計謀告訴我,我立刻把他解到你那裏去,又命令告他的人在你面前告他。[a]」
31 於是士兵照所命令他們的,連夜把保羅帶到安提帕底。 32 第二天,由騎兵護送保羅,他們就回營樓去。 33 騎兵來到凱撒利亞,把公文呈給總督,就叫保羅站在他面前。 34 總督讀了公文,問保羅是哪一省的人;一知道他是基利家人, 35 就說:「等告你的人來到,我才詳細聽你。」於是他命令把保羅拘留在希律的衙門裏。

Acts 23
King James Version
23 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
