保罗传扬基督

13 保罗和同伴从帕弗乘船到旁非利亚的别加。约翰·马可在那里离开他们回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他们由别加继续前行,来到彼西底区的安提阿。在安息日那天,他们进了会堂坐下来。 15 读完律法书和先知书后,会堂主管派人告诉他们:“弟兄们,如果你们有什么劝勉众人的话,请讲。”

16 保罗站起来向大家挥手示意,说:“各位以色列同胞和各位敬畏上帝的外族朋友们,请听我说。 17 以色列的上帝拣选了我们的祖先,让他们在埃及寄居期间人丁兴旺成为大族,后来祂伸出臂膀带领他们离开埃及。 18 他们在旷野漂泊的那四十年间,上帝一直照顾、容忍他们。 19 后来上帝又灭了迦南境内的七族,把土地分给他们作产业。 20 前后历时约四百五十年。之后,上帝又为他们设立士师,直到撒母耳先知的时代。

21 “后来,他们求上帝为他们立一位王,上帝就选立便雅悯支派中基士的儿子扫罗为王,执政四十年。 22 之后,上帝废掉扫罗,选立大卫做王,并为他作证说,‘我找到了耶西的儿子大卫,他是合我心意的人,他必遵行我一切的旨意。’ 23 上帝照自己的应许,从大卫的后裔中为以色列人立了一位救主,就是耶稣。 24 在耶稣还未公开露面以前,约翰已经劝告以色列人要悔改,接受洗礼。 25 约翰在工作快要完成的时候说,‘你们以为我是谁?我不是基督。在我之后来的那位,我连给祂解鞋带也不配。’

26 “弟兄们,各位亚伯拉罕的子孙和敬畏上帝的外族人啊,这救恩之道原是传给我们的。 27 可是耶路撒冷的人和他们的官长不知道耶稣是基督,虽然每个安息日都诵读先知的信息,却把基督判死罪。这正应验了先知们的话。 28 他们虽然找不到判祂死罪的理由,却强求彼拉多将祂处死。 29 祂受死的记载全部应验之后,有人把祂从十字架上取下来,安放在石墓里。 30 但上帝却使祂从死里复活。 31 之后有许多天,那些从加利利跟随祂上耶路撒冷的人都看见过祂,他们如今在百姓中都是祂的见证人。 32 我们要报给你们一个好消息,上帝给我们祖先的应许, 33 祂借着使耶稣复活已为我们做子孙的成就了。正如诗篇第二篇所说,

“‘你是我的儿子,
我今日成为你父亲。’

34 圣经曾这样记载上帝使祂从死里复活、永不朽坏的事,

“‘我必将应许大卫的圣洁、
可靠的恩福赐给你们。’

35 又在诗篇上说,

“‘你必不让你的圣者身体朽坏。’

36 “大卫在世时遵行上帝的旨意,最后死了,葬在他祖先那里,肉身也朽坏了。 37 然而,上帝使之复活的那位却没有朽坏。 38 所以,弟兄们,你们应该知道,赦罪的信息是借着耶稣传给你们的。 39 你们靠遵行摩西律法不能被称为义人,只有信靠耶稣才能被称为义人。 40 你们要当心,免得先知说的话应验在你们身上,

41 “‘藐视真理的人啊,看吧!
你们要在惊惧中灭亡,
因为我要在你们的时代行一件事,
即使有人告诉你们,
你们也不会信。’”

保羅傳揚基督

13 保羅和同伴從帕弗乘船到旁非利亞的別加。約翰·馬可在那裡離開他們回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他們由別加繼續前行,來到彼西底區的安提阿。在安息日那天,他們進了會堂坐下來。 15 讀完律法書和先知書後,會堂主管派人告訴他們:「弟兄們,如果你們有什麼勸勉眾人的話,請講。」

16 保羅站起來向大家揮手示意,說:「各位以色列同胞和各位敬畏上帝的外族朋友們,請聽我說。 17 以色列的上帝揀選了我們的祖先,讓他們在埃及寄居期間人丁興旺成為大族,後來祂伸出臂膀帶領他們離開埃及。 18 他們在曠野漂泊的那四十年間,上帝一直照顧、容忍他們。 19 後來上帝又滅了迦南境內的七族,把土地分給他們作產業。 20 前後歷時約四百五十年。之後,上帝又為他們設立士師,直到撒母耳先知的時代。

21 「後來,他們求上帝為他們立一位王,上帝就選立便雅憫支派中基士的兒子掃羅為王,執政四十年。 22 之後,上帝廢掉掃羅,選立大衛作王,並為他作證說,『我找到了耶西的兒子大衛,他是合我心意的人,他必遵行我一切的旨意。』 23 上帝照自己的應許,從大衛的後裔中為以色列人立了一位救主,就是耶穌。 24 在耶穌還未公開露面以前,約翰已經勸告以色列人要悔改,接受洗禮。 25 約翰在工作快要完成的時候說,『你們以為我是誰?我不是基督。在我之後來的那位,我連給祂解鞋帶也不配。』

26 「弟兄們,各位亞伯拉罕的子孫和敬畏上帝的外族人啊,這救恩之道原是傳給我們的。 27 可是耶路撒冷的人和他們的官長不知道耶穌是基督,雖然每個安息日都誦讀先知的信息,卻把基督判死罪。這正應驗了先知們的話。 28 他們雖然找不到判祂死罪的理由,卻強求彼拉多將祂處死。 29 祂受死的記載全部應驗之後,有人把祂從十字架上取下來,安放在石墓裡。 30 但上帝卻使祂從死裡復活。 31 之後有許多天,那些從加利利跟隨祂上耶路撒冷的人都看見過祂,他們如今在百姓中都是祂的見證人。 32 我們要報給你們一個好消息,上帝給我們祖先的應許, 33 祂藉著使耶穌復活已為我們做子孫的成就了。正如詩篇第二篇所說,

『你是我的兒子,
我今日成為你父親。』

34 聖經曾這樣記載上帝使祂從死裡復活、永不朽壞的事,

『我必將應許大衛的聖潔、
可靠的恩福賜給你們。』

35 又在詩篇上說,

『你必不讓你的聖者身體朽壞。』

36 「大衛在世時遵行上帝的旨意,最後死了,葬在他祖先那裡,肉身也朽壞了。 37 然而,上帝使之復活的那位卻沒有朽壞。 38 所以,弟兄們,你們應該知道,赦罪的信息是藉著耶穌傳給你們的。 39 你們靠遵行摩西律法不能被稱為義人,只有信靠耶穌才能被稱為義人。 40 你們要當心,免得先知說的話應驗在你們身上,

41 『藐視真理的人啊,看吧!
你們要在驚懼中滅亡,
因為我要在你們的時代行一件事,
即使有人告訴你們,
你們也不會信。』」

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
