使徒行传 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
哥尼流邀请彼得
10 在凯撒利亚有一位隶属意大利营的百夫长名叫哥尼流。 2 他和全家都是虔诚敬畏上帝的人，他慷慨周济穷人，常常祷告。 3 一天，大约下午三点，他在异象中清楚地看见一位上帝的天使进来呼唤他：“哥尼流！”
4 哥尼流惊恐地注视着他，问：“主啊，什么事？”
天使回答说：“你的祷告和周济穷人的善行已经在上帝面前蒙悦纳。 5 如今你要派人去约帕，请一个叫西门·彼得的人来。 6 他住在一个叫西门的皮革匠家里，房子在海边。”
7 向他说话的天使离开后，哥尼流叫来两个家仆和自己的一个敬虔侍卫， 8 把刚才的事告诉他们，然后差他们去约帕。
彼得见异象
9 第二天中午，他们快要到达约帕时，彼得上屋顶去祷告。 10 他觉得肚子饿了，想吃东西。那家人正在预备午饭的时候，彼得进入异象， 11 看见天开了，有一样东西好像一大块布，四角吊着降到地上， 12 里面有各种天上的飞禽、地上的爬虫和四足的走兽。 13 然后有声音对他说：“彼得，起来，宰了吃！”
14 彼得却说：“主啊！这可不行！我从未吃过任何污秽不洁之物。”
15 那声音又一次对他说：“上帝已经洁净的，你不可再称之为不洁净。” 16 这样一连三次之后，那块布就被收回天上去了。
17 彼得不知所措，正在猜测这异象到底是什么意思，哥尼流的仆人们刚好找来了， 18 正站在门口大声问西门·彼得是否住在这里。
19 彼得还在苦苦思索的时候，圣灵又对他说：“彼得，外面有三个人来找你， 20 快下楼跟他们去，不必多虑，他们是我差来的。” 21 彼得就下去见他们，说：“我就是你们要找的人，有什么事？”
22 他们说：“哥尼流百夫长是个又正直又敬畏上帝的人，连犹太人都称赞他。上帝的天使指示他请你到他家里去，好听你的指教。”
23 彼得就留他们住了一夜。第二天，彼得和他们以及几个约帕的弟兄一同出发了。 24 又过了一天，他们到达凯撒利亚。哥尼流已经请来亲朋好友，在等候他们。 25 他一看见彼得，就迎上去俯伏在他脚前拜他。 26 彼得连忙把他扶起来，说：“快起来，我只不过是人。”
27 彼得和他边走边谈，进屋后，见聚集了许多人， 28 就对他们说：“你们都知道，按照犹太人的传统，我们不可以和外族人来往。但上帝已经指示我不可把任何人视为污秽不洁。 29 所以，我受到邀请后，毫不犹豫地来了。请问你们为什么请我来？”
30 哥尼流说：“四天前，大约也是下午三点这个时候，我在家里祷告，忽然有一个身穿明亮衣服的人站在我面前， 31 说，‘哥尼流，上帝已经垂听了你的祷告，也悦纳你周济穷人的善行。 32 你派人去约帕把那位叫西门·彼得的人请来，他住在海边一个叫西门的皮革匠家。’ 33 于是我立刻派人去请你。你能来，真是荣幸，现在我们都在上帝面前，想聆听主吩咐你传给我们的话。”
福音临到外族人
34 彼得说：“现在我深深地明白，上帝不偏待人。 35 无论哪一个民族，只要敬畏祂，秉公行义，都会蒙祂接纳。 36 上帝借着万物的主宰——耶稣基督把平安的福音传给以色列人。 37 你们都知道，自从约翰宣讲洗礼以来，从加利利开始，整个犹太地区发生了什么事。 38 你们也知道，拿撒勒人耶稣是上帝用圣灵和大能膏立的。祂周游四方，广行善事，医好被魔鬼压制的人，因为上帝与祂同在。 39 我们亲眼目睹了耶稣在犹太全境和耶路撒冷所做的一切。可是，世人却把祂钉死在十字架上。 40 但第三天，上帝使祂从死里复活，并且向人显现， 41 不是向所有的人显现，而是向被上帝预先拣选为祂做见证的人显现，就是我们这些在祂复活以后与祂一同吃喝过的人。 42 祂命令我们向世人传道，见证祂就是上帝指派来审判活人和死人的那位。 43 所有先知也都为祂做见证说，‘谁信祂，谁的罪就能借着祂的名得到赦免。’”
44 彼得还在说话的时候，圣灵就降临在每一个听道的人身上。 45 跟彼得一起来的那些严守割礼的信徒，看见圣灵的恩赐也浇灌到外族人身上，都很惊奇。 46 因为他们听见这些人又说方言又赞美上帝。于是彼得说： 47 “既然这些人已经和我们一样领受了圣灵，谁能阻止他们接受洗礼呢？” 48 彼得吩咐他们奉耶稣基督的名受洗。之后，他们又请彼得住了几天。

哥尼流蒙主指示
10 在该撒利亚有一个人，名叫哥尼流，是意大利营的百夫长。 2 他是一个虔诚的人，他和全家都敬畏 神，对人民行过许多善事，常常向 神祷告。 3 有一天，大约下午三点钟，他在异象中，清清楚楚看见 神的一位天使来到他那里，对他说：“哥尼流！” 4 他定睛一看，害怕起来，说：“主啊，甚么事？”天使说：“你的祷告和善行，已经达到 神面前，蒙他记念了。 5 现在你要派人到约帕去，请那个名叫彼得的西门来。 6 他在一个制皮工人西门的家里作客，房子就在海边。” 7 和他说话的天使走了之后，他就叫了两个家仆和侍候他的一个虔诚的士兵来， 8 把一切事向他们讲明，然后派他们到约帕去。
彼得见异象(A)
9 第二天，大约正午，他们走近那座城的时候，彼得上了房顶去祷告。 10 那家人正在预备饭的时候，彼得觉得饿了，很想吃饭。这时候他魂游象外， 11 看见天开了，有一件东西，好象一块大布，绑着四角，降在地上。 12 里面有地上的各样四足牲畜，还有昆虫和天空的飞鸟。 13 有声音对他说：“彼得，起来，宰了吃！” 14 彼得说：“主啊，千万不可！我从来不吃俗物和不洁的东西。” 15 第二次又有声音对他说：“ 神所洁净的，你不可当作俗物。” 16 这样一连三次，那件东西就立刻收回天上去了。 17 彼得犹豫不定，不明白所看见的异象是甚么意思，恰好哥尼流派来的人，找到西门的家，站在门口， 18 大声问：“有没有一个名叫彼得的西门在这里作客？” 19 彼得还在思量那异象，圣灵对他说：“你看，有三个人来找你！ 20 起来，下去吧，跟他们一起去，不要疑惑，因为是我差他们来的。” 21 于是彼得下楼到他们那里，说：“看，我就是你们所要找的人。你们是为甚么来的？” 22 他们说：“百夫长哥尼流是个义人，敬畏 神，全犹太族都称赞他。他得到一位圣天使的指示，请你到他家里，要听你的话。” 23 彼得就请他们进去，留他们住下。
第二天，彼得动身跟他们一同去，另有约帕的几位弟兄同行。 24 第三天，他们到了该撒利亚。哥尼流已经招聚了自己的亲戚好友在恭候他们。 25 彼得一进去，哥尼流就迎接他，俯伏在他脚前叩拜。 26 彼得扶起他，说：“起来，我也是人。” 27 彼得和他说了话，就进去，看见许多人聚集在那里， 28 就对他们说：“你们知道，犹太人本来是不准和外国人接近来往的，但 神已经指示了我，不可把任何人当作凡俗或不洁的。 29 所以我一被邀请，就毫不推辞地来了。现在请问：你们请我来是为甚么事？” 30 哥尼流说：“四天以前下午三点钟，我在家里祷告的时候，忽然有一位身穿光明衣服的人，站在我面前， 31 说：‘哥尼流，你的祷告已蒙垂听，你的善行在 神面前已蒙记念。 32 你要派人到约帕去，请那个名叫彼得的西门来。他在海边一个制皮工人西门的家作客。’ 33 所以我立刻派人去请你，现在你来了，好极了！我们都在 神面前，要听主吩咐你的一切话。”
彼得对哥尼流全家讲道
34 彼得就开口说：“我实在看出 神是不偏待人的。 35 原来在各民族中，凡敬畏他而行义的，都蒙他悦纳。 36 神借着耶稣基督（他是万有的主）传和平的福音，把这道传给以色列人。 37 你们知道：在约翰传讲洗礼之后，这道从加利利传遍了犹太， 38 并且知道 神怎样用圣灵和能力膏立拿撒勒人耶稣。他到各处行善事，医好所有被魔鬼压制的人，因为 神与他同在。 39 我们就是他在犹太人之地和耶路撒冷所行一切事的见证人；他们竟然把他挂在木头上，杀了他。 40 神叫他第三天复活，并且使他显现， 41 不是显现给所有的人看，而是给 神预先拣选的见证人看，就是我们这些在他从死人中复活之后，与他一同吃喝的人。 42 他吩咐我们向人民传讲，郑重证明他是 神所立，审判活人死人的主。 43 所有先知都为他作见证：所有信他的，都必借着他的名，罪得赦免。”
外族人领受圣灵
44 彼得还在说话的时候，圣灵降在所有听道的人身上， 45 那些受了割礼、跟彼得一同来的信徒，因为圣灵的恩赐（“恩赐”或译：“恩赏”）也浇灌在外族人的身上，都很惊讶； 46 原来听见他们讲方言，尊 神为大。于是彼得说： 47 “这些人既然领受了圣灵，跟我们一样，谁能禁止他们受水的洗礼呢？” 48 就吩咐他们奉耶稣基督的名受洗。后来，他们请彼得住了几天。
Acts 10
Easy-to-Read Version
Peter and Cornelius
10 In the city of Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a Roman army officer in what was called the Italian Unit. 2 He was a religious man. He and all the others who lived in his house were worshipers of the true God. He gave much of his money to help the poor people and always prayed to God. 3 One afternoon about three o’clock, Cornelius had a vision. He clearly saw an angel from God coming to him and saying, “Cornelius!”
4 Staring at the angel and feeling afraid, Cornelius said, “What do you want, sir?”
The angel said to him, “God has heard your prayers and has seen your gifts to the poor. He remembers you and all you have done. 5 Send some men now to the city of Joppa to get a man named Simon, who is also called Peter. 6 He is staying with someone also named Simon, a leatherworker who has a house beside the sea.” 7 The angel who spoke to Cornelius left. Then Cornelius called two of his servants and a soldier. The soldier was a religious man, one of his close helpers. 8 Cornelius explained everything to these three men and sent them to Joppa.
9 The next day they were coming near Joppa about noon, when Peter was going up to the roof to pray. 10 He was hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing the food for Peter to eat, he had a vision. 11 He saw something coming down through the open sky. It looked like a big sheet being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds. 13 Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill anything here and eat it.”
14 But Peter said, “I can’t do that, Lord! I have never eaten anything that is not pure or fit to be used for food.”
15 But the voice said to him again, “God has made these things pure. Don’t say they are unfit to eat.” 16 This happened three times. Then the whole thing was taken back up into heaven. 17 Peter wondered what this vision meant.
The men Cornelius sent had found Simon’s house. They were standing at the door. 18 They asked, “Is Simon Peter staying here?”
19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Listen, three men are looking for you. 20 Get up and go downstairs. Go with these men without wondering if it’s all right, because I sent them.” 21 So Peter went downstairs and said to them, “I think I’m the man you are looking for. Why did you come here?”
22 The men said, “A holy angel told Cornelius to invite you to his house. He is an army officer. He is a good man, one who worships God, and all the Jewish people respect him. The angel told him to invite you to his house so that he can listen to what you have to say.” 23 Peter asked the men to come in and stay for the night.
The next day Peter got ready and went away with the three men. Some of the believers from Joppa went with him. 24 The next day they came to the city of Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them and had already gathered his relatives and close friends at his house.
25 When Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him. He fell down at Peter’s feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter told him to get up. Peter said, “Stand up! I am only a man like you.” 27 Peter continued talking with Cornelius. Then Peter went inside and saw a large group of people gathered there.
28 Peter said to the people, “You understand that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit anyone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not consider anyone unfit or say they are not pure. 29 That’s why I didn’t argue when your men asked me to come here. Now, please tell me why you sent for me.”
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was praying in my house. It was at this same time—three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly there was someone standing before me wearing bright, shiny clothes. 31 He said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has seen your gifts to the poor. He remembers you and all you have done. 32 So send some men to the city of Joppa and tell Simon Peter to come. He is staying with another man named Simon, a leatherworker who has a house beside the sea.’ 33 So I sent for you immediately. It was very good of you to come here. Now we are all here before God to hear everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
Peter Speaks in the House of Cornelius
34 Peter began to speak: “I really understand now that God does not consider some people to be better than others. 35 He accepts anyone who worships him and does what is right. It is not important what nation they come from. 36 God has spoken to the people of Israel. He sent them the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ, the Lord of all people.
37 “You know what has happened all over Judea. It began in Galilee after John told the people they needed to be baptized. 38 You know about Jesus from Nazareth. God made him the Messiah by giving him the Holy Spirit and power. Jesus went everywhere doing good for people. He healed those who were ruled by the devil, showing that God was with him.
39 “We saw all that Jesus did in Judea and in Jerusalem. But he was killed. They put him on a cross made of wood. 40 But on the third day after his death, God raised him to life and let him be seen openly. 41 He was not seen by everyone, but only by us, the ones God had already chosen to be witnesses. We ate and drank with him after he was raised from death.
42 “Jesus told us to go and speak to the people. He told us to tell them that he is the one God chose to be the Judge of all who are living and all who have died. 43 Everyone who believes in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name. All the prophets agree that this is true.”
God Shows That He Accepts All People
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his speech. 45 The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the Holy Spirit had been poured out as a gift also to people who were not Jews. 46 They heard them speaking different languages and praising God. Then Peter said, 47 “How can anyone object to these people being baptized in water? They have received the Holy Spirit the same as we did!” 48 So Peter told them to baptize Cornelius and his relatives and friends in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days.
