使徒行传 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
吩咐门徒等候圣灵
1 提阿非罗先生：我已经写了前书，叙述耶稣开始所行所教的一切， 2 一直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒之后，被接上升的日子为止。 3 他受难以后，用许多凭据向使徒显示自己是活着的。他向使徒显现，并且讲论 神的国的事，有四十天之久。 4 耶稣和他们一同吃饭的时候，吩咐他们不要离开耶路撒冷，说：“你们要等候父的应许，就是你们听我讲过的， 5 约翰是用水施洗，但再过几天，你们要受圣灵的洗。”
耶稣升天
6 他们聚集的时候，问耶稣说：“主啊，你要在这时候使以色列复国吗？” 7 耶稣说：“父凭着自己的权柄所定的时间或日期，你们不必知道。 8 可是圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必领受能力，并且要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚，直到地极，作我的见证人。” 9 说完了这话，他们还在看的时候，他被接上升，有一朵云把他接去，就看不见他了。 10 当他往上升，他们定睛望天的时候，忽然有两个人，身穿白衣，站在他们旁边， 11 说：“加利利人哪，为甚么站着望天呢？这位被接升天离开你们的耶稣，你们看见他怎样往天上去，他也要怎样回来。”
选出马提亚作使徒
12 后来，他们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷，有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他们进了城，上了一间楼房，就是彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗迈、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进派的西门、雅各的儿子犹大等人所住的。 14 这些人和几个妇女，耶稣的母亲马利亚，还有他的兄弟们，都在一起，同心地恒切祷告。
15 那时，约有一百二十人聚会，彼得在众弟兄中间站起来说： 16 “弟兄们，经上的话，就是圣灵借着大卫的口，预言那领人捉拿耶稣的犹大的事，是一定会应验的。 17 他本是我们中间的一个，一同领受了这职分。 18 他用不义的酬劳买了一块田，结果倒头栽了下去，腹破肠流。 19 这事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道，所以按当地的话，那块地称为亚革大马，意思就是‘血田’。 20 因为诗篇上写着：
‘愿他的住处变为荒场，
无人居在其中。’
又说：
‘愿别人取代他的职分。’
21-22 所以，从约翰施洗起，直到主离开我们被接上升的那天为止，当他在我们中间来往的时候，那些跟我们常在一起的人中，应该有一个人出来与我们一同作耶稣复活的见证人。” 23 于是他们提出两个人：约瑟（号称巴撒巴，又名犹士都）和马提亚， 24 就祷告说：“主啊！你知道万人的心，求你从这两个人中，指明你要拣选谁， 25 来承担这使徒的职位和工作。这职位犹大已经放弃，往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就为他们抽签，结果抽中了马提亚，他就与十一使徒同列。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
吩咐門徒等候聖靈
1 提阿非羅先生：我已經寫了前書，敘述耶穌開始所行所教的一切， 2 一直到他藉著聖靈吩咐所揀選的使徒之後，被接上升的日子為止。 3 他受難以後，用許多憑據向使徒顯示自己是活著的。他向使徒顯現，並且講論 神的國的事，有四十天之久。 4 耶穌和他們一同吃飯的時候，吩咐他們不要離開耶路撒冷，說：“你們要等候父的應許，就是你們聽我講過的， 5 約翰是用水施洗，但再過幾天，你們要受聖靈的洗。”
耶穌升天
6 他們聚集的時候，問耶穌說：“主啊，你要在這時候使以色列復國嗎？” 7 耶穌說：“父憑著自己的權柄所定的時間或日期，你們不必知道。 8 可是聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必領受能力，並且要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地、撒瑪利亞，直到地極，作我的見證人。” 9 說完了這話，他們還在看的時候，他被接上升，有一朵雲把他接去，就看不見他了。 10 當他往上升，他們定睛望天的時候，忽然有兩個人，身穿白衣，站在他們旁邊， 11 說：“加利利人哪，為甚麼站著望天呢？這位被接升天離開你們的耶穌，你們看見他怎樣往天上去，他也要怎樣回來。”
選出馬提亞作使徒
12 後來，他們從橄欖山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷，有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他們進了城，上了一間樓房，就是彼得、約翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多馬、巴多羅邁、馬太、亞勒腓的兒子雅各、激進派的西門、雅各的兒子猶大等人所住的。 14 這些人和幾個婦女，耶穌的母親馬利亞，還有他的兄弟們，都在一起，同心地恆切禱告。
15 那時，約有一百二十人聚會，彼得在眾弟兄中間站起來說： 16 “弟兄們，經上的話，就是聖靈藉著大衛的口，預言那領人捉拿耶穌的猶大的事，是一定會應驗的。 17 他本是我們中間的一個，一同領受了這職分。 18 他用不義的酬勞買了一塊田，結果倒頭栽了下去，腹破腸流。 19 這事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道，所以按當地的話，那塊地稱為亞革大馬，意思就是‘血田’。 20 因為詩篇上寫著：
‘願他的住處變為荒場，
無人居在其中。’
又說：
‘願別人取代他的職分。’
21-22 所以，從約翰施洗起，直到主離開我們被接上升的那天為止，當他在我們中間來往的時候，那些跟我們常在一起的人中，應該有一個人出來與我們一同作耶穌復活的見證人。” 23 於是他們提出兩個人：約瑟（號稱巴撒巴，又名猶士都）和馬提亞， 24 就禱告說：“主啊！你知道萬人的心，求你從這兩個人中，指明你要揀選誰， 25 來承擔這使徒的職位和工作。這職位猶大已經放棄，往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就為他們抽籤，結果抽中了馬提亞，他就與十一使徒同列。
Acts 1
The Message
To the Ends of the World
1 1-5 Dear Theophilus, in the first volume of this book I wrote on everything that Jesus began to do and teach until the day he said good-bye to the apostles, the ones he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God. As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but “must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon.”
6 When they were together for the last time they asked, “Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?”
7-8 He told them, “You don’t get to know the time. Timing is the Father’s business. What you’ll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world.”
9-11 These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud. They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared—in white robes! They said, “You Galileans!—why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly—and mysteriously—as he left.”
Returning to Jerusalem
12-13 So they left the mountain called Olives and returned to Jerusalem. It was a little over half a mile. They went to the upper room they had been using as a meeting place:
Peter,
John,
James,
Andrew,
Philip,
Thomas,
Bartholomew,
Matthew,
James, son of Alphaeus,
Simon the Zealot,
Judas, son of James.
14 They agreed they were in this for good, completely together in prayer, the women included. Also Jesus’ mother, Mary, and his brothers.
Replacing Judas
15-17 During this time, Peter stood up in the company—there were about 120 of them in the room at the time—and said, “Friends, long ago the Holy Spirit spoke through David regarding Judas, who became the guide to those who arrested Jesus. That Scripture had to be fulfilled, and now has been. Judas was one of us and had his assigned place in this ministry.
18-20 “As you know, he took the evil bribe money and bought a small farm. There he came to a bad end, rupturing his belly and spilling his guts. Everybody in Jerusalem knows this by now; they call the place Murder Meadow. It’s exactly what we find written in the Psalms:
Let his farm become haunted
So no one can ever live there.
“And also what was written later:
Let someone else take over his post.
21-22 “Judas must now be replaced. The replacement must come from the company of men who stayed together with us from the time Jesus was baptized by John up to the day of his ascension, designated along with us as a witness to his resurrection.”
23-26 They nominated two: Joseph Barsabbas, nicknamed Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed, “You, O God, know every one of us inside and out. Make plain which of these two men you choose to take the place in this ministry and leadership that Judas threw away in order to go his own way.” They then drew straws. Matthias won and was counted in with the eleven apostles.
