使徒の活動記録 18
Japanese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
パウロがコリントに
18 その後、パウロは都アテネを去り、都📍コリントに行った。 2 そこでポント地方出身のアクラという名前のユダヤ人に出会った。アクラとその妻プリスカは、最近イタリヤ州からここ都コリントへと引っ越して来た者たちだった。彼らがイタリヤ州を去ったのは、クラウデオ帝がユダヤ人全員をローマから退去するように命じたからであった。パウロはアクラとプリスカを訪ねた。 3 彼らはパウロと同じような仕事をしていたので、パウロは彼らと一緒に住むと、彼らは熟練の職人として一緒に働いた。
4 パウロは休日ごとにユダヤ集会所に行き、ユダヤ人とギリシャ人の両者たちと話をしてはイエスを信じるようにと説得した。 5 しかし、シラスとテモテがマケドニヤ州からやって来てからは、パウロは自分の時間をユダヤ人に費やし、神のメッセージを伝えていった。そして、彼らにイエスが救い主であることを説得しようとしたのだ。 6 だが、彼らはパウロが教えていることに反論し、彼を侮辱し始めた。そこでパウロは自分の服から、ちりを払い落とし、こう言った。「もし、お前たちが救われなければ、それはお前たちの責任だ!俺は自分ができることは全てやり尽くした。今後、俺はユダヤ人以外のところだけに行く」
7 パウロはユダヤ集会所を去り、本当の神を賛美するテテオ・ユストの家に移動した。彼の家はユダヤ集会所の隣にあった。 8 そのユダヤ集会所の指導者はクリスポだった。彼と彼の家に住む人たち全員は、王であるイエスを信じたのだ。都コリントにいる多くの人たちもパウロの話に耳を傾けた。そして、彼らもそれを信じ洗礼を受けた。
9 夜中、パウロはビジョンを見た。神がパウロにこう言った。「恐れるな!人々に話すことを止めてはならない! 10 わたしはあなたと共にいて、お前を傷つけることの出来る者はひとりもいない。この町には、わたしの国民が大勢いる」 11 パウロは1年半その場所に滞在し、人々に神のメッセージを教えた。
ガリオの前に立たせられるパウロ
12 ガリオがアカイア州の総督だった頃、何人かのユダヤ人がパウロに反対し、集まっていた。彼らはパウロを法廷に連れて行った。 13 彼らはガリオ総督に言った。「この人は法律に反する方法で神を賛美するようにと、人々に教えています!」
14 パウロが言葉を発しようとすると、ガリオがユダヤ人にこう言った。「お前たちの訴えが犯罪に当たり、また、その他の違反であれば、私はその訴えを聞く。 15 だが、お前たちが持って来たことは、お前たち自身の法律に関わる言葉や名前、そして議論についてだけじゃないか!だったら、この問題はお前たちで解決しろ!私はこれらの問題の裁判官にはなりたくはない!」 16 そこでガリオは彼らを法廷から出て行かせた。
17 それから、彼らはみんな、ユダヤ集会所の指導者であるソステネを捕まえ、彼を裁判所の前で袋叩きにした。それでもガリオは何も気にしなかった。
アンテオケに戻るパウロ
18 パウロは信じる仲間たちと何日間にも渡って滞在した。それから彼はそこを去り、プリスカとアクラと共にシリア州へと出航していった。パウロは神に誓いを立てていたので、港町📍ケンクレヤで髪を切り落とした。【髪の毛を切ることは何かの誓いが終わったことを意味する】 19 それからパウロはプリスカとアクラと別れを告げ、都📍エペソに行った。パウロがエペソにいる間、彼はユダヤ集会所に行き、ユダヤ人と共に話をした。 20 彼らはもう少し滞在することを頼んだが、パウロはその頼みを断った。 21 パウロは彼らを残して、こう言った。「神が私に望んでいるのなら、私はまたこの場所に戻ってきます」そして、彼はエペソを離れて船旅を続けた。
22 パウロが港湾都市📍カイザリヤに到着すると、その後、📍エルサレムに行き、そこにある教会を訪問した。そして、彼は陸路で都市📍アンテオケに向かった。 23 パウロはしばらくアンテオケに滞在した。それから彼はその場を去り、📍ガラテヤ州とフルギヤ州の国を通って行った。彼はこれらの国の町から町へと旅をし、弟子たち全員の信仰が強く成長するようにと手助けしていった。
エペソとコリントにいるアポロ(第3回伝道の旅)
24 アポロというユダヤ人が📍エペソにやって来た。アレキサンドリヤの街で生まれたアポロは聖書をよく知る訓練を受けた説教者だった。 25 アポロは神の道について教えを受けており、イエスについて人々と話すのをいつも楽しみにしていた。彼が教えたことは正しかったが、彼が知っていた洗礼はヨハネが教えた洗礼だけだった。 26 アポロはユダヤ集会所でとても大胆に語り始めた。プリスカとアクラは彼の話を聞き、彼を家に招待し、神の道をより理解できるようにとアポロを助けた。
27 アポロは以前からアカイア州に行きたかった。そこでエペソの信じる仲間たちは、彼の望みの助けになればと、アカイア州の信じる仲間たちに手紙を書くと、アポロを受け入れてくれるようにと頼んだのだ。アポロがそこに到着すると、彼は神の恵みのおかげでイエスを信じていた人たちの大きな助けとなった。 28 アポロは全員の目の前でユダヤ人に対してとても強い口調で論じたのだ。ユダヤ人が間違っていることをはっきりと証明し、聖書箇所を使って、イエスが救い主であることを示したのだ。
Acts 18
New International Version
In Corinth
18 After this, Paul left Athens(A) and went to Corinth.(B) 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla,(C) because Claudius(D) had ordered all Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.(E) 4 Every Sabbath(F) he reasoned in the synagogue,(G) trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 When Silas(H) and Timothy(I) came from Macedonia,(J) Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.(K) 6 But when they opposed Paul and became abusive,(L) he shook out his clothes in protest(M) and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads!(N) I am innocent of it.(O) From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(P)
7 Then Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titius Justus, a worshiper of God.(Q) 8 Crispus,(R) the synagogue leader,(S) and his entire household(T) believed in the Lord; and many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and were baptized.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:(U) “Do not be afraid;(V) keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you,(W) and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” 11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.(X)
12 While Gallio was proconsul(Y) of Achaia,(Z) the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. 13 “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15 But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law(AA)—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” 16 So he drove them off. 17 Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes(AB) the synagogue leader(AC) and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.
Priscilla, Aquila and Apollos
18 Paul stayed on in Corinth for some time. Then he left the brothers and sisters(AD) and sailed for Syria,(AE) accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.(AF) Before he sailed, he had his hair cut off at Cenchreae(AG) because of a vow he had taken.(AH) 19 They arrived at Ephesus,(AI) where Paul left Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to spend more time with them, he declined. 21 But as he left, he promised, “I will come back if it is God’s will.”(AJ) Then he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he landed at Caesarea,(AK) he went up to Jerusalem and greeted the church and then went down to Antioch.(AL)
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia(AM) and Phrygia,(AN) strengthening all the disciples.(AO)
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos,(AP) a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.(AQ) He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a](AR) and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.(AS) 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila(AT) heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.
27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia,(AU) the brothers and sisters(AV) encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures(AW) that Jesus was the Messiah.(AX)

King James Version
18 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

Ministering at Corinth
18 After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named (A)Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to them. 3 So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them (B)and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers. 4 (C)And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 (D)When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was (E)compelled [a]by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 But (F)when they opposed him and blasphemed, (G)he shook his garments and said to them, (H)“Your blood be upon your own heads; (I)I am clean. (J)From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named [b]Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 (K)Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.
9 Now (L)the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 (M)for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the [c]judgment seat, 13 saying, “This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you. 15 But if it is a (N)question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such matters.” 16 And he drove them from the judgment seat. 17 Then [d]all the Greeks took (O)Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But Gallio took no notice of these things.
Paul Returns to Antioch
18 So Paul still remained [e]a good while. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. (P)He had his hair cut off at (Q)Cenchrea, for he had taken a vow. 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying, (R)“I[f] must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, (S)God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 And when he had landed at (T)Caesarea, and [g]gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23 After he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of (U)Galatia and Phrygia [h]in order, (V)strengthening all the disciples.
Ministry of Apollos
24 (W)Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being (X)fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, (Y)though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, (Z)he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; 28 for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, (AA)showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
