使徒行传 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
彼得辩白给外邦人施洗的事
11 使徒和在犹太的众弟兄听说外邦人也领受了神的道。 2 及至彼得上了耶路撒冷,那些奉割礼的门徒和他争辩,说: 3 “你进入未受割礼之人的家,和他们一同吃饭了!” 4 彼得就开口把这事挨次给他们讲解,说: 5 “我在约帕城里祷告的时候,魂游象外,看见异象:有一物降下,好像一块大布,系着四角,从天缒下,直来到我跟前。 6 我定睛观看,见内中有地上四足的牲畜和野兽、昆虫并天上的飞鸟。 7 我且听见有声音向我说:‘彼得,起来,宰了吃!’ 8 我说:‘主啊,这是不可的!凡俗而不洁净的物从来没有入过我的口。’ 9 第二次有声音从天上说:‘神所洁净的,你不可当做俗物。’ 10 这样一连三次,就都收回天上去了。 11 正当那时,有三个人站在我们所住的房门前,是从恺撒利亚差来见我的。 12 圣灵吩咐我和他们同去,不要疑惑[a]。同着我去的,还有这六位弟兄,我们都进了那人的家。 13 那人就告诉我们他如何看见一位天使站在他屋里,说:‘你打发人往约帕去,请那称呼彼得的西门来, 14 他有话告诉你,可以叫你和你的全家得救。’ 15 我一开讲,圣灵便降在他们身上,正像当初降在我们身上一样。 16 我就想起主的话说:‘约翰是用水施洗,但你们要受圣灵的洗。’ 17 神既然给他们恩赐,像在我们信主耶稣基督的时候给了我们一样,我是谁,能拦阻神呢?” 18 众人听见这话,就不言语了,只归荣耀于神,说:“这样看来,神也赐恩给外邦人,叫他们悔改得生命了。”
教会兴盛在安提阿
19 那些因司提反的事遭患难四散的门徒,直走到腓尼基和塞浦路斯并安提阿,他们不向别人讲道,只向犹太人讲。 20 但内中有塞浦路斯和古利奈人,他们到了安提阿,也向希腊人传讲主耶稣[b]。 21 主与他们同在,信而归主的人就很多了。 22 这风声传到耶路撒冷教会人的耳中,他们就打发巴拿巴出去,走到安提阿为止。 23 他到了那里,看见神所赐的恩就欢喜,劝勉众人立定心志,恒久靠主。 24 这巴拿巴原是个好人,被圣灵充满,大有信心。于是,有许多人归服了主。
门徒初次称为基督徒是在安提阿
25 他又往大数去找扫罗, 26 找着了,就带他到安提阿去。他们足有一年的工夫和教会一同聚集,教训了许多人。门徒称为“基督徒”是从安提阿起首。
27 当那些日子,有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿。 28 内中有一位名叫亚迦布,站起来,借着圣灵指明天下将有大饥荒;这事到克劳迪年间果然有了。 29 于是门徒定意照各人的力量捐钱,送去供给住在犹太的弟兄。 30 他们就这样行,把捐项托巴拿巴和扫罗送到众长老那里。

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
彼得向耶路撒冷教会报告
11 使徒和在犹太的弟兄们,听说外族人也接受了 神的道。 2 彼得上到耶路撒冷的时候,那些守割礼的人与他争论, 3 说:“你竟然到未受割礼的人那里,跟他们一起吃饭!” 4 彼得就按着次序向他们讲解,说: 5 “我在约帕城祷告的时候,魂游象外,见到异象:有一件东西,好象一块大布,绑着四角,从天上降下来,一直来到我面前。 6 我定睛观察,看见里面有地上的四足牲畜、走兽,还有昆虫和天空的飞鸟。 7 我也听见有声音对我说:‘彼得,起来,宰了吃!’ 8 我说:‘主啊,千万不可,因为俗物或不洁的东西,从来没有进过我的口。’ 9 第二次又有声音从天上回答:‘ 神所洁净的,你不可当作俗物。’ 10 这样一连三次之后,所有的东西都拉回天上去了。 11 就在那个时候,有三个从该撒利亚派到我这里来的人,站在我住的房子门前。 12 圣灵吩咐我跟他们一起去,一点也不要疑惑。这六位弟兄也跟我一起去,我们就进了那人的家。 13 他告诉我们,他怎样看见天使站在他家里说:‘派人到约帕去,请那个名叫彼得的西门来, 14 他有话要告诉你,使你和你全家都可以得救。’ 15 我一开始讲话,圣灵就降在他们身上,正像当初降在我们身上一样。 16 我就想起主所说的话:‘约翰用水施洗,但你们要受圣灵的洗。’ 17 神既然把同样的恩赐(“恩赐”或译:“恩赏”)给他们,像给我们这些信了主耶稣基督的人一样,我是谁,我能够阻止 神吗?” 18 众人听见这些话,就默然无声,把荣耀归给 神,说:“这样看来, 神也把悔改的心赐给外族人,使他们得生命。”
安提阿的教会
19 那些因司提反事件遭受苦难而四散的门徒,一直走到腓尼基、塞浦路斯、安提阿;他们不对别人传讲,只对犹太人传讲。 20 但其中有些塞浦路斯人和古利奈人,来到安提阿,也对希腊人传讲主耶稣。 21 主的手与他们同在,信而归主的人就多起来。 22 这事传到耶路撒冷教会的耳中,他们就派巴拿巴到安提阿去。 23 他到了那里,看见 神所施的恩,就很欢喜,劝勉众人坚心靠主。 24 巴拿巴是个好人,满有圣灵和信心,于是许多人归了主。 25 后来他到大数去找扫罗, 26 找到了,就带他来安提阿。足足有一年,他们一同在教会聚集,教导了许多人。门徒称为基督徒,是从安提阿开始的。
27 那时,有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿。 28 其中有一个名叫亚迦布的站起来,借着圣灵指出天下将要有大饥荒;这事在革老丢时期果然发生了。 29 于是门徒决定按着各人的力量捐款,好送给住在犹太的弟兄。 30 他们就这样行了,由巴拿巴和扫罗经手送到长老们那里。

彼得返回耶路撒冷
11 使徒和整个犹太境内的兄弟们听说,非犹太人也接受了上帝的教导。 2 于是,当彼得一到耶路撒冷,那些犹太人信徒便开始批评他, 3 说∶“你们进了没有受过割礼 [a]的人的家,竟还与他们一同吃饭!”
4 彼得便一五一十地向他们解释了所发生的事情∶ 5 “一天,我正在约帕城里做祷告,在恍惚中,看到了异象。我看见好似一大块布的东西被吊住四角,从天而降,落在我的面前。 6 我仔细向里边看去,看到有四脚动物、野兽、爬行动物和飞禽。 7 这时,一个声音对我说∶‘彼得,起来。把它们宰了吃吧!’ 8 但是我却说∶‘主啊,那可不成!因为被玷污与不洁净之物还从未进过我的嘴里。’ 9 那个声音又从天上说∶‘上帝清洁过的东西,你不要认为不洁净。’
10 这样一连三次,然后所有的东西便被收回了天上。 11 正在那时,三个人到了我住的那所房子。他们是从该撒利亚被派出来找我的。 12 圣灵指示我,毫不犹豫地跟他们走,跟我从约伯来的这六位兄弟也跟我一起去了。我们一起进了哥尼流的家。 13 他告诉我们,他如何看见一个天使站在他家对他说∶‘派一些人到约帕去邀请西门彼得。 14 他讲的话,会使你和你的整个家眷都得拯救。’ 15 我一开口讲话,圣灵便降临到他们的身上了,就像当初 [b]降在我们的身上一样。 16 这时,我记起了主的话∶‘约翰在水中施洗礼,但你们却要受圣灵的洗礼。’ 17 显然,上帝赐给外族人的馈赠正是我们在信仰主耶稣基督时,他给予我们的。那么,我是谁,能反对上帝吗?”
18 他们听到这番话后,就不再说什么了,而是都赞美上帝说∶“上帝甚至把带来生命的悔改机会赐给了外族人。”
福音传到安提阿
19 那些和司提反一起受到迫害的人们四散在外,有的甚至远走腓尼基、塞浦路斯和安提阿。他们只向犹太人传教。 20 这些信徒中的一些人是塞浦路斯人和古利奈人。他们到安提阿后,也开始向非犹太人传教,告诉他们关于主耶稣的福音。 21 主的力量与他们同在。很多人相信了他们,归顺了主。
22 这个消息传到了耶路撒冷的教会,他们便派巴拿巴到安提阿去了。 23 巴拿巴到后,看见上帝赐福给了那些人,感到非常高兴。他鼓励所有的人,要继续全心全意地忠于主。 24 因为,巴拿巴是个好人,充满了圣灵和信仰。很多人加入到了主的信徒的行列。 25 巴拿巴动身到大数去找扫罗。 26 找到扫罗后,就把他带到安提阿。整整一年,他们和那里的教会聚会,教导了一大批人。在安提阿,门徒们第一次被称为基督教徒。
27 与此同时,一些先知从耶路撒冷来到了安提阿。 28 其中有一个叫亚迦布的人,站起身来,借着圣灵预言,全世界将发生一场大饥荒。(在克劳迪执政时,发生了大饥荒。) 29 于是每个信徒决定都尽自己的所能给住在犹太的弟兄们送去他们的帮助。 30 他们也是这么做的。他们派巴拿巴和扫罗把募捐转交给了长老。

彼得的解释
11 使徒和犹太全境的弟兄姊妹都听说外族人接受了上帝的道。 2 彼得一回到耶路撒冷,严守割礼的门徒就指责他: 3 “你竟然去未受割礼之人的家,还和他们一同吃饭!”
4 彼得就把事情的经过一一向他们解释,说: 5 “我在约帕城祷告的时候,看见一个异象,有一大块像布的东西四个角吊着从天上降到我面前。 6 我定睛一看,里面有牲畜、野兽、爬虫和飞禽。 7 接着,我听见有声音对我说,‘彼得,起来,宰了吃!’ 8 我说,‘主啊,这可不行!我从未吃过任何污秽不洁之物!’ 9 那从天上来的声音又说,‘上帝已经洁净的,你不可再称之为不洁净。’ 10 这样一连三次,然后一切都被收回天上去了。 11 就在那时候,有三个从凯撒利亚来的人到我住处的门口来找我。 12 圣灵吩咐我跟他们同去,不要犹豫。就这样,我和这六位弟兄一同到了哥尼流家。 13 他告诉我们天使如何在他家中向他显现,并对他说,‘你派人去约帕,请一位名叫西门·彼得的人来。 14 他有话告诉你,能使你和你的全家得救。’
15 “我开口讲话时,圣灵降在他们身上,跟当初降在我们身上的情形一模一样。 16 我就想起主的话,‘约翰用水施洗,但你们要受圣灵的洗礼。’ 17 既然上帝给他们恩赐,就如我们信主耶稣基督时给我们一样,我是谁,怎能拦阻上帝?” 18 大家听了便安静下来,转而归荣耀给上帝,说:“如此看来,上帝把悔改得永生的机会也赐给了外族人。”
安提阿的教会
19 司提凡殉道后,信徒们因受迫害而四散到各处,远至腓尼基、塞浦路斯和安提阿,他们只向那里的犹太人传福音。 20 不过,有些塞浦路斯和古利奈的信徒到了安提阿之后,也向希腊人传讲主耶稣的福音。 21 上帝的能力伴随着他们,有许多人信了主。
22 耶路撒冷教会的人听到这消息后,就派巴拿巴去安提阿。 23 他到达后,看见上帝所赐的恩典,就万分高兴,劝勉他们要全心地忠于主。
24 巴拿巴是个被圣灵充满、信心坚定的好人。那时信主的人大大增加。 25 他又到大数去找扫罗, 26 找到后,便带他回安提阿。他们在教会待了一年之久,教导了许多人。门徒被称为“基督徒”就是从安提阿开始的。
27 当时,有几位先知从耶路撒冷下到安提阿。 28 其中一位名叫亚迦布,他得到圣灵的启示,站起来预言天下将有严重的饥荒。后来,这事果然在克劳狄执政期间发生了。 29 门徒决定各尽所能,捐款救济住在犹太境内的弟兄姊妹。 30 他们捐完后,委托巴拿巴和扫罗将款项送交耶路撒冷教会的长老。
Acts 11
The Voice
11 1-2 By the time Peter and his friends from Joppa returned to Jerusalem, news about outsiders accepting God’s message had already spread to the Lord’s emissaries[a] and believers there. Some of the circumcised believers didn’t welcome Peter with joy, but with criticism.
Circumcised Believers: 3 Why did you violate divine law by associating with outsiders and sitting at the table with them for a meal? This is an outrage!
4 Peter patiently told them what had happened, laying out in detail the whole story.
Peter: 5 I was in Joppa, I was praying, and I fell into a trance. In my vision, something like a huge sheet descended from the sky as if it were being lowered by its four corners. It landed right in front of me. 6 It was full of all kinds of four-footed creatures that we would call unclean—I could identify mammals, snakes, lizards, and birds. 7 Then I heard a voice say, “Get up, Peter! Kill these creatures and eat them!” 8 Of course, I replied, “No way, Lord! Not a single bite of forbidden, nonkosher food has ever touched my lips.” 9 But then the voice spoke from heaven a second time: “If God makes something clean, you must not call it dirty or forbidden.” 10 This whole drama was repeated three times, and then it was all pulled back up into the sky.
11 At that very second, three men arrived at the house where I was staying. They had come to me from Caesarea. 12 The Holy Spirit told me I should go with them, that I shouldn’t make any distinction between them as Gentiles and us as Jews. These six brothers from Joppa came with me; and yes, we entered the man’s home even though he was an outsider.
13 The outsider told us the story of how he had seen a heavenly messenger standing in his house who said, “Send to Joppa and bring back Simon, also called Peter, 14 and he will give you a message that will rescue both you and your household.” 15 Then I began to speak; and as I did, the Holy Spirit fell upon them—it was exactly as it had been with us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered what Jesus had said to us: “John ritually cleansed people with water through baptism,[b] but you will be washed with the Holy Spirit.”[c] 17 So, if God gave them the same gift we were given when we believed in the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, who was I to stand in God’s way?
18 There was no argument, only silence.
Circumcised Believers: Well then, we must conclude that God has given to the outsiders the opportunity to rethink their lives, turn to God,[d] and gain a new life.
Just as the experience of the Holy Spirit transforms that small community of believers into the church at the beginning of this book, the presence of the Spirit’s work among these outsiders, the ones who were not a part of God’s covenant with Moses, demonstrates that they, too, are part of the church. This isn’t what many expected, and questions about inclusion of outsiders consume the early life of the church.
19 The believers who were scattered from Judea because of the persecution following Stephen’s stoning kept moving out, reaching Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. Until this time, they had only shared their message with Jews. 20 Then some men from Cyprus and Cyrene who had become believers came to Antioch, and they began sharing the message of the Lord Jesus with some Greek converts to Judaism. 21 The Lord was at work through them, and a large number of these Greeks became believers and turned to the Lord Jesus.
22 Word of this new development came to the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch to investigate. 23 He arrived and saw God’s grace in action there, so he rejoiced and urged them to remain faithful to the Lord, to maintain an enduring, unshakable devotion. 24 This Barnabas truly was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, full of faith. A very large number of people were brought to the Lord.
25 Barnabas soon was off again—now to Tarsus to look for Saul. 26 He found Saul and brought him back to Antioch. The two of them spent an entire year there, meeting with the church and teaching huge numbers of people. It was there, in Antioch, where the term “Christian” was first used to identify disciples of Jesus.
27 During that year, some prophets came north from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 A prophet named Agabus stood in a meeting and made a prediction by the Holy Spirit: there would be an expansive, terrible famine in the whole region during the reign of Claudius. 29 In anticipation of the famine, the disciples determined to give an amount proportionate to their financial ability and create a relief fund for all the believers in Judea. 30 They sent Barnabas and Saul to carry this fund to the elders in Jerusalem.
