使徒行传 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
亚拿尼亚和撒非拉的鉴戒
5 有一个人名叫亚拿尼亚,同他妻子撒非拉,把田产卖了。 2 他私底下把钱留了一部分,妻子也知道这件事。他把其余的一部分带来,放在使徒的脚前。 3 彼得说:“亚拿尼亚,为甚么撒但充满了你的心,使你欺骗圣灵,私底下把卖地的钱留了一部分呢? 4 田地还没有卖,不是你自己的吗?既然卖了,所得的钱不是由你作主吗?你为甚么存心这样作呢?你这不是欺骗人,而是欺骗 神。” 5 亚拿尼亚一听见这话,就仆倒断了气。所有听见的人都十分害怕。 6 有几个青年人来把他包好,抬出去埋了。
7 大约三小时之后,亚拿尼亚的妻子进来,还不知道发生了甚么事。 8 彼得问她:“你告诉我,你们卖田地的钱,就是这么多吗?”她说:“是的,就是这么多。” 9 彼得说:“你们为甚么串同试探主的灵呢?你看,埋你丈夫的人的脚,已经到了门口,他们也要把你抬出去。” 10 她立刻就仆倒在彼得脚前,断了气。那些青年人进来,发现她死了,把她也抬出去,埋在她丈夫旁边。 11 全体会众和所有听见这事的人,都很害怕。
使徒行神迹奇事
12 主借着使徒的手,在民间行了许多神迹奇事。他们都同心聚集在所罗门廊下, 13 其余的人,没有一个敢接近他们,可是民众都很敬重他们。 14 信主的男男女女越来越多, 15 甚至有人把病人抬到街上,放在小床和褥子上,好让彼得经过时,至少他的身影可以落在一些人身上。 16 耶路撒冷周围城市的人,也带着病人和受污灵缠扰的,蜂拥而来,结果病人全都医好了。
使徒受迫害
17 大祭司和他的同党撒都该人都起来,满心忌恨, 18 于是下手拿住使徒,把他们押在公共拘留所里。 19 夜间有一位天使,打开监门,把他们领出来,说: 20 “你们去,站在殿里,把一切有关这生命的话,都讲给众民听。” 21 使徒听完了,就在黎明的时候,进到殿里去教导。大祭司和他的同党来到了,就召集了公议会和以色列人的众长老,派人到监牢去带使徒出来。 22 差役到了监里,找不到他们,回来报告说: 23 “我们发现监门紧闭,狱卒也守在门外;等到开了门,里面连一个人也找不到。” 24 圣殿的守卫长和祭司长听了这些话,觉得很困惑,不知道这件事将来会怎样。 25 忽然有人来报告说:“你们押在监里的那些人,正站在殿里教导众民呢!” 26 于是守卫长和差役去带使徒来,不过没有用暴力,因为怕众民用石头打他们。
27 既然带来了,就叫他们站在公议会前。大祭司问他们: 28 “我们严厉地吩咐过你们,不准再奉这名教导。看,你们却把你们的道理传遍了耶路撒冷,想要把流这人的血的责任推到我们身上。” 29 彼得和众使徒回答:“服从 神过于服从人,是应当的。 30 你们挂在木头上亲手杀害的耶稣,我们祖先的 神已经使他复活了。 31 神把他高举在自己的右边,作元首作救主,把悔改的心赐给了以色列人,使他们罪得赦免。 32 我们为这些事作证, 神赐给顺从的人的圣灵也为这些事作证。”
33 公议会的人听了,非常恼怒,就想要杀他们。 34 但有一个法利赛人,名叫迦玛列,是民众所尊敬的律法教师。他在公议会中站起来,吩咐人把使徒暂时带出去, 35 然后对大家说:“以色列人哪,你们应当小心处理这些人! 36 从前有个丢大,自命不凡,附从他的人约有四百。他一被杀,跟从他的人尽都星散,一败涂地。 37 这人之后,在户口登记的时候,又有一个加利利人犹大,拉拢人们来跟从他。后来他也丧命,跟从他的人也就烟消云散了。 38 至于目前的事,我劝你们不要管这些人,由他们吧!因为这计划或这行动,如果是出于人意,终必失败; 39 如果是出于 神,你们就不能破坏他们,恐怕你们是与 神作对了。”他们接受了他的劝告, 40 就传使徒进来,鞭打一顿,禁止他们奉耶稣的名传讲,就把他们释放了。 41 使徒欢欢喜喜从公议会里出来,因为他们算是配得为主的名受辱。 42 他们天天在殿里并在各人的家中,不断地教导,传讲耶稣是基督。

亚拿尼亚和撒非喇
5 一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人和他的妻子撒非喇也卖掉一些田产。 2 他私自留下一部分钱,只把剩下的放在了使徒的脚边。这事他妻子也知道。 3 彼得说∶“亚拿尼亚,你为什么要让撒旦占据你的心,而对圣灵说谎,藏起了一部分卖田的钱呢? 4 你卖地之前,难道那块地不是属于你的吗?你卖地后,难道那笔钱不是任你支配的吗?你怎么会想出这个主意来的呢?你不是对人说谎,而是在对上帝说谎。” 5 亚拿尼亚听到这里,便一头栽倒在地死了。所有听到这事的人都充满了恐惧。 6 年轻男子走上去,把他的尸体裹了起来,抬出去埋了。
7 过了三个小时左右,亚拿尼亚的妻子走了进来,她并不知道所发生的事情。 8 彼得问她道∶“告诉我,你们卖地的钱就这些吗?”
撒非喇答道∶“对,就是这些。”
9 听罢,彼得对她说∶“你们俩为什么打定主意要试探主的灵呢?看,那些埋葬了你丈夫的人,正站在门口,他们也会把你给抬出去的。” 10 话音刚落,她便栽倒在了彼得的脚旁,死掉了。那些人进来发现他死了,便把她也抬了出去,埋在了她丈夫的旁边。 11 整个教会的人们,以及所有听说了这件事的人都充满了敬畏。
来自上帝的证明
12 通过使徒之手,许多奇事和神迹在人们中间得以发生。使徒们都聚在“所罗门廊”下, 13 但是外人都不敢加入他们,尽管所有的人都称颂他们。 14 越来越多的人信仰了主,有许多男女加入到信徒的行列。 15 大家把他们的病人都抬到大街上,让他们躺在床上或者垫子上,以便当彼得走过时,至少让他的身影落在一些病人身上。 16 从耶路撒冷附近城镇来的人群,带来了他们的病人和那些受到邪灵折磨的人,这些人的病全都被治好了。
使徒被捕
17 因此,大祭司 [a]和他的同僚们,也就是撒都该党徒们,都非常嫉妒。 18 他们便逮捕了使徒,把他们投进了监狱。 19 可是,夜里,主的一个天使打开了狱门,把他们领了出来,并对他们说: 20 “去站在大殿院子里,告诉人们关于这新生命的全部事情。” 21 使徒们听从了这话,在黎明时分,进了大殿院,开始教导人们。
大祭司和他的同僚们来了,他们召集起议会和所有的以色列的长老,并派人去监狱里带使徒们。 22 但是,当那些人来到监狱时,却发现使徒们不在里面了。他们便返回去报告, 23 说∶“我们发现牢门牢牢地锁着,卫兵也守在门外,可是打开一看,里面一个人也没有。” 24 大殿的警卫队长和祭司长听到这些,都觉得十分纳闷,不知道发生了什么事, 25 这时,有个人进来告诉他们说∶“你们关进监狱里的那些人正站在大殿院里教唆人们呢!” 26 警卫队长便带着手下的人,又把那些使徒们抓了回来。他们没有动用暴力,因为他们害怕在场的人们会用石头砸他们。
27 他们把使徒带了进来,让他们站在全议会人的面前,大祭司质问他们∶ 28 “我们已严厉的禁止过,不许你们再以这个人的名义教导。可是你们的教导还是充满了耶路撒冷,并且要把这个人的死归罪于我们!”
29 彼得和其他的使徒们答道∶“我们必须服从上帝,而不是服从人。 30 耶稣被你们吊死在十字架上,而我们祖先的上帝却使耶稣从死亡中复活。 31 上帝把他做为王子和救世主升到了自己的右侧,以便让他给以色列人悔过自新和得到宽恕的机会。 32 我们是这一切的见证人,上帝赋予服从他的人的圣灵,也是这一切的见证!”
33 议会的人听到这里,都勃然大怒起来。他们想把使徒 [b]们杀了。 34 但是,议会里有一个法利赛人,名字叫迦玛列,是一位受所有人尊敬的律法师。他下令让人们把使徒们带出去一会儿, 35 然后对其他人说∶“我的同胞以色列人啊,你们计划如何去处置这些人,必须慎重。 36 记得曾出现过丢大吧?他自命不凡,大约有四百男子加入了他,他被杀掉了,他的跟随者都被驱散了,没折腾出什么结果来。 37 在他之后,到了人口普查的时候,又出现了加利利人犹大,他引诱一些人跟随自己,他也被杀了,他的随从也被驱散了。 38 因此,关于目前这个案子,我告诉你们,不要管这些人,由他们去吧,因为,他们的计划或活动,如果是源于人,他们必要失败; 39 但是,如果它源于上帝,你们就无法阻止他们,并且甚至会有可能发现自己在与上帝做对。
他们听取了他的意见, 40 于是把使徒们叫了进来,下令打了他们一顿,并发布命令不许他们再以耶稣的名义传道,然后便把他们放了。 41 使徒们非常高兴地离开了议会,因为他们被认为配得上为了耶稣的名字受耻辱。 42 日复一日,无论是在大殿院里还是在人们家里,他们从末停止过教导人们和宣讲耶稣是基督 [c]的福音。

New American Standard Bible
Fate of Ananias and Sapphira
5 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and (A)kept back some of the [a]proceeds for himself, with his wife’s [b]full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he (B)laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has (C)Satan filled your heart to lie (D)to the Holy Spirit and to (E)keep back some of the [c]proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not [d]under your control? Why is it that you have [e]conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but (F)to God.” 5 And as he heard these words, Ananias (G)collapsed and [f]died; and (H)great fear came over all who heard about it. 6 The young men got up and (I)covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Now an interval of about three hours elapsed, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land (J)for [g]this price?” And she said, “Yes, for [h]that price.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to (K)put (L)the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” 10 And immediately she (M)collapsed at his feet and [i]died; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 And (N)great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard about these things.
12 [j]At the hands of the apostles many [k](O)signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all [l]together in (P)Solomon’s [m]portico. 13 But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, (Q)the people held them in high esteem. 14 And increasingly (R)believers in the Lord, large numbers of men and women, were being (S)added to their number, 15 to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by (T)at least his shadow might fall on any of them. 16 The [n]people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together as well, bringing people who were sick [o]or tormented with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
Imprisonment and Release
17 But the high priest stood up, along with all his associates (that is (U)the sect of (V)the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy. 18 They laid hands on the apostles and (W)put them in a public prison. 19 But during the night (X)an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and leading them out, he said, 20 “Go, stand and [p]speak to the people in the temple area [q](Y)the whole message of this Life.” 21 Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple area (Z)about daybreak and began to teach.
Now when (AA)the high priest and his associates came, they called (AB)the [r]Council together, that is, all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison for them to be brought. 22 But (AC)the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and reported, 23 saying, “We found the prison locked quite securely and the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 Now when (AD)the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what [s]would come of this. 25 But someone came and reported to them, “The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple area and teaching the people!” 26 Then (AE)the captain went along with (AF)the officers and proceeded to bring them back without violence (for (AG)they were afraid of the people, that they might be stoned).
27 When they had brought them, they had them stand [t]before (AH)the Council. The high priest interrogated them, 28 saying, “We gave you (AI)strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and [u]yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and (AJ)intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “(AK)We must obey God rather than men. 30 (AL)The God of our fathers (AM)raised up Jesus, whom you (AN)put to death by hanging Him on [v](AO)a cross. 31 (AP)He is the One whom God exalted [w]to His right hand as a [x](AQ)Prince and a (AR)Savior, to grant (AS)repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are (AT)witnesses [y]of these things; and (AU)so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Gamaliel’s Counsel
33 But when they heard this, they became (AV)infuriated and nearly decided to execute them. 34 But a Pharisee named (AW)Gamaliel, a (AX)teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in (AY)the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, be careful as to what you are about to do with these men. 36 For, some time ago Theudas appeared, (AZ)claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined him. [z]But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee appeared in the days of (BA)the census and drew away some people after him; he also perished, and all those who followed him were scattered. 38 And so in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, for if the source of this plan or [aa]movement (BB)is men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if the source is God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found (BC)fighting against God.”
40 They followed his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they (BD)flogged them and ordered them not to [ab]speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them. 41 So they went on their way from the presence of the [ac](BE)Council, (BF)rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame (BG)for His name. 42 (BH)And every day, in the temple and [ad]from house to house, they did not stop teaching and (BI)preaching the good news of Jesus as the [ae]Christ.
