使徒行传 13
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition

巴拿巴和扫罗奉差遣

13 在安提阿的教会中，有几位先知和教师，就是巴拿巴和称为尼结的西面、古利奈人路求，与希律分封王一起长大的马念，和扫罗。 2 他们在事奉主和禁食的时候，圣灵说：“要为我分派巴拿巴和扫罗去做我召他们做的工作。” 3 于是他们禁食祷告后，给巴拿巴和扫罗按手，然后派遣他们走了。

在塞浦路斯传道

4 他们既蒙圣灵差遣，就下到西流基，从那里坐船往塞浦路斯去， 5 到了撒拉米，就在犹太人各会堂里宣讲　神的道，也有约翰作他们的帮手。 6 他们走遍全岛，直到帕弗，在那里遇见一个术士—犹太人的假先知，名叫巴耶稣。 7 这人常和士求‧保罗省长在一起。士求‧保罗是个通达人，他请巴拿巴和扫罗来，要听　神的道。 8 只是术士以吕马（他的名字翻出来就是行法术的意思）敌对使徒，设法使省长远离这信仰。 9 扫罗，又名保罗，被圣灵充满，定睛看他， 10 说：“你这充满各样诡诈奸恶，魔鬼的儿子，一切正义的仇敌，你还不停止扭曲主的正道吗？ 11 现在你看，主的手临到你身上，你会瞎眼，暂时看不见日光。”立刻迷蒙和黑暗笼罩着他，他到处摸索，求人拉着手领他。 12 省长看见所发生的事就信了，因对主的教导感到惊奇。

在彼西底的安提阿传道

13 保罗和他的同伴从帕弗开船，来到旁非利亚的别加，约翰却离开他们，回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他们从别加往前行，来到彼西底的安提阿。在安息日，他们进了会堂就坐下。 15 在读完了律法和先知的书，会堂主管们叫人过去，对他们说：“二位弟兄，你们若有什么劝勉众人的话，请说。”

16 保罗就站起来，做个手势，说：“诸位以色列人和一切敬畏　神的人，请听。 17 这以色列民的　神拣选了我们的祖宗，当百姓寄居埃及的时候抬举他们，用大能的手领他们从那地出来。 18 他在旷野容忍[a]他们，约有四十年。 19 他消灭了迦南地七族的人后，把那地分给他们为业， 20 约有四百五十年。此后[b]，他给他们设立士师，直到撒母耳先知的时候。 21 从那时起，他们要求立一个王，　神就将便雅悯支派中基士的儿子扫罗给他们作王，共四十年。 22 他废了扫罗之后，就兴起大卫作他们的王，又为他作见证说：‘我寻得耶西的儿子大卫，他是合我心意的人，他要遵行我一切的旨意。’ 23 从这人的后裔中，　神已经照着所应许的为以色列人兴起一位救主，就是耶稣。 24 在他没有出来以前，约翰已向以色列全民宣讲悔改的洗礼。 25 约翰快走完他的人生路程时，说：‘你们以为我是谁？我不是[c]；但是有一位在我以后来的，我就是解他脚上的鞋带也不配。’

26 “诸位弟兄—亚伯拉罕的子孙和你们中间敬畏　神的人哪，这救世的道是传给我们的。 27 耶路撒冷的居民和他们的官长，因为不认识这基督，也不明白每安息日所读的先知的书，把他定了死罪，正应验了先知的预言。 28 虽然他们查不出他有该死的罪状，还是要求彼拉多把他杀了。 29 他们既实现了经上指着他所记的一切话，就从木头上把他取下来，放在坟墓里。 30 　神却使他从死人中复活。 31 有许多日子，他向那些从加利利同他上耶路撒冷的人显现，这些人如今在民间成为他的见证人。 32 我们报好信息给你们，就是那应许祖宗的话， 33 　神已经向我们这些作他们儿女的[d]应验，使耶稣复活了。正如《诗篇》第二篇上记着：

‘你是我的儿子，
我今日生了你。’

34 论到　神使他从死人中复活，不再归于朽坏，他曾这样说：

‘我必将所应许大卫那圣洁、
可靠的恩典赐给你们。’

35 所以他也在另一篇说：

‘你必不让你的圣者见朽坏。’

36 大卫在世的时候，遵行了　神的旨意就长眠了[e]，归到他祖宗那里，已见朽坏； 37 惟独　神使他复活的那一位，他并未见朽坏。 38 所以弟兄们，你们当知道：赦罪的道是由这人传给你们的， 39 你们靠摩西的律法在不得称义的一切事上，每一个信靠这位耶稣的都得称义了。 40 所以，你们要小心，免得先知书上所说的临到你们：

41 ‘要观看，你们这些藐视的人，

要惊讶，要灭亡，
因为在你们的日子，我行一件事，
虽有人告诉你们，你们总是不信。’”

42 他们走出会堂的时候，众人请他们在下一个安息日再讲这些话给他们听。 43 散会以后，有许多犹太人和敬虔的皈依犹太教的人跟从了保罗和巴拿巴。二人对他们讲话，劝他们务要恒久倚靠　神的恩典。

44 到下一个安息日，全城的人几乎都聚集起来，要听主的道[f]。 45 但犹太人看见这么多的人，就满心嫉妒，辩驳保罗所说的话，并且毁谤他。 46 于是保罗和巴拿巴放胆说：“　神的道本应先传给你们；只因你们弃绝这道，断定自己不配得永生，我们就转向外邦人。 47 因为主曾这样吩咐我们：

‘我已经立你作万邦之光，
使你施行我的救恩，直到地极。’”

48 外邦人听见这话很欢喜，赞美主的道，凡被指定得永生的人都信了。 49 于是主的道传遍了那一带地方。 50 但犹太人挑唆虔敬尊贵的妇女和城内有名望的人，迫害保罗和巴拿巴，把他们赶出境外。 51 二人对着众人跺掉脚上的尘土，然后往以哥念去了。 52 门徒满心喜乐，又被圣灵充满。

Acts 13
Common English Bible

Barnabas and Saul sent to minister

13 The church at Antioch included prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (nicknamed Niger), Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen (a childhood friend of Herod the ruler), and Saul. 2 As they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to the work I have called them to undertake.” 3 After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on these two and sent them off.

Serving in Cyprus

4 After the Holy Spirit sent them on their way, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 In Salamis they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant. 6 They traveled throughout the island until they arrived at Paphos. There they found a certain man named Bar-Jesus, a Jew who was a false prophet and practiced sorcery. 7 He kept company with the governor of that province, an intelligent man named Sergius Paulus. The governor sent for Barnabas and Saul since he wanted to hear God’s word. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer[a] (for that’s what people understood his name meant) opposed them, trying to steer the governor away from the faith. 9 Empowered by the Holy Spirit, Saul, also known as Paul, glared at Bar-Jesus and 10 said, “You are a deceiver and trickster! You devil! You attack anything that is right! Will you never stop twisting the straight ways of the Lord into crooked paths? 11 Listen! The Lord’s power is set against you. You will be blind for a while, unable even to see the daylight.” At once, Bar-Jesus’ eyes were darkened, and he began to grope about for someone to lead him around by the hand. 12 When the governor saw what had taken place, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.

Paul and Barnabas in Pisidian Antioch

13 Paul and his companions sailed from Paphos to Perga in Pamphylia. John deserted them there and returned to Jerusalem. 14 They went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath, they entered and found seats in the synagogue there. 15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders invited them, “Brothers, if one of you has a sermon for the people, please speak.”

16 Standing up, Paul gestured with his hand and said, “Fellow Israelites and Gentile God-worshippers, please listen to me. 17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors. God made them a great people while they lived as strangers in the land of Egypt. With his great power, he led them out of that country. 18 For about forty years, God put up with them in the wilderness. 19 God conquered seven nations in the land of Canaan and gave the Israelites their land as an inheritance. 20 This happened over a period of about four hundred fifty years.

“After this, he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel. 21 The Israelites requested a king, so God gave them Saul, Kish’s son, from the tribe of Benjamin, and he served as their king for forty years. 22 After God removed him, he raised up David to be their king. God testified concerning him, ‘I have found David, Jesse’s son, a man who shares my desires.[b] Whatever my will is, he will do.’ 23 From this man’s descendants, God brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, just as he promised. 24 Before Jesus’ appearance, John proclaimed to all the Israelites a baptism to show they were changing their hearts and lives. 25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I’m not the one you think I am, but he is coming after me. I’m not worthy to loosen his sandals.’

26 “Brothers, children of Abraham’s family, and you Gentile God-worshippers, the message about this salvation has been sent to us. 27 The people in Jerusalem and their leaders didn’t recognize Jesus. By condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Even though they didn’t find a single legal basis for the death penalty, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they finished doing everything that had been written about him, they took him down from the cross[c] and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead! 31 He appeared over many days to those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.

32 “We proclaim to you the good news. What God promised to our ancestors, 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it was written in the second psalm, You are my son; today I have become your father.[d]

34 “God raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be subjected to death’s decay. Therefore, God said, I will give to you the holy and firm promises I made to David.[e] 35 In another place it is said, You will not let your holy one experience death’s decay.[f] 36 David served God’s purpose in his own generation, then he died and was buried with his ancestors. He experienced death’s decay, 37 but the one whom God has raised up didn’t experience death’s decay.

38 “Therefore, brothers and sisters, know this: Through Jesus we proclaim forgiveness of sins to you. From all those sins from which you couldn’t be put in right relationship with God through Moses’ Law, 39 through Jesus everyone who believes is put in right relationship with God. 40 Take care that the prophets’ words don’t apply to you:

41 Look, you scoffers,
    marvel and die.
I’m going to do work in your day —
    a work you won’t believe
    even if someone told you.”[g]

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to speak about these things again on the next Sabbath. 43 When the people in the synagogue were dismissed, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism accompanied Paul and Barnabas, who urged them to remain faithful to the message of God’s grace.

44 On the next Sabbath, almost everyone in the city gathered to hear the Lord’s word. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were overcome with jealousy. They argued against what Paul was saying by slandering him. 46 Speaking courageously, Paul and Barnabas said, “We had to speak God’s word to you first. Since you reject it and show that you are unworthy to receive eternal life, we will turn to the Gentiles. 47 This is what the Lord commanded us:

I have made you a light for the Gentiles,

so that you could bring salvation to the end of the earth.”[h]

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the Lord’s word. Everyone who was appointed for eternal life believed, 49 and the Lord’s word was broadcast throughout the entire region. 50 However, the Jews provoked the prominent women among the Gentile God-worshippers, as well as the city’s leaders. They instigated others to harass Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their district. 51 Paul and Barnabas shook the dust from their feet and went to Iconium. 52 Because of the abundant presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives, the disciples were overflowing with happiness.

预备差传

13 在安提阿当地的教会中有一些做先知传道的[a]和教师，包括巴拿巴、称为尼格尔的西蒙、古利奈人卢吉斯、与分封王希律一起长大的马纳恩，还有扫罗。

2 他们在服事主、禁食的时候，圣灵说：“来，你们把巴拿巴和扫罗为我分别出来，去做我所召唤他们做的工作！” 3 于是他们禁食、祷告，按手在巴拿巴和扫罗身上，就送他们走了。

在塞浦路斯岛传道

4 这样，他们两个人受圣灵的差遣，就下到塞琉西亚，又从那里坐船前往塞浦路斯岛， 5 到了萨拉米斯，就在犹太人的各会堂里传讲神的话语[b]。他们也有约翰马可[c]做助理。 6 他们走遍全岛[d]，直到帕福斯，遇见了一个名叫巴耶苏的犹太人，是个行法术的假先知。 7 他和省长瑟吉乌斯保罗常在一起。省长是一个明智的人，他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来，要求听神的话语[e]。 8 但那行法术的以路摩——他的名字翻译出来就是“行法术的”——却抵挡他们，企图使省长转离这信仰。

9 可是扫罗，也就是保罗，被圣灵充满，注视着以路摩， 10 说：“哦，你这个充满一切诡诈、一切奸恶的人哪！魔鬼的儿子，一切公义的仇敌！你歪曲主的正道，还不停止吗？ 11 看哪，现在主的手临到你，你要瞎眼，暂时看不见日光。”立刻，迷雾和黑暗笼罩了他，他四处摸索，求人牵手领路。

12 省长当时看见所发生的事，对主的教导惊叹不已，就信了。

在彼西底的安提阿传道

13 保罗一行从帕福斯起航，来到潘菲利亚省的佩尔格。约翰马可[f]却离开他们，回耶路撒冷去了。 14 他们从佩尔格往前行，来到皮西迪亚地区的安提阿，在安息日那天，就进了会堂坐下。 15 诵读了律法和先知书以后，会堂主管们派人来对他们说：“各位兄弟，如果有什么鼓励民众的话，就请说吧。”

16 保罗就站起来，挥一下手，说：“各位以色列人和敬畏神的人，请听！ 17 这以色列民族的神拣选了我们的祖先，当他们寄居在埃及地的时候，高举他们，并用大能的膀臂带领他们从那里出来。 18 在旷野，神容忍了他们约有四十年之久。 19 神消灭了迦南地的七个民族后，把他们的土地赐给我们的先祖[g]为继业， 20 约有四百五十年。这些事以后，神又赐给他们士师，直到先知撒母耳为止。 21 此后，他们要求立一个王，神就把便雅悯支派的一个人，基士的儿子扫罗给他们为王[h]，共四十年。 22 后来神废除了扫罗，兴起大卫做他们的王，并且为他见证说：‘我找到了耶西的儿子大卫，一个合乎我心意的人，他将遵行我的一切旨意。’[i]

23 “神照着应许，从这人的后裔中给以色列带来了一位救主，就是耶稣。 24 在耶稣公开出来之前，约翰预先向所有以色列子民宣讲了悔改的洗礼。 25 当约翰快要跑尽该跑的路程[j]时，说：‘你们认为我是谁？我不是那一位。看哪，他要在我以后来，我就是为他解脚上的鞋带也不配。’

26 “各位兄弟，亚伯拉罕家的子孙和你们中间敬畏神的人哪，这救恩的福音[k]是赐给我们[l]的。 27 实际上，住在耶路撒冷的人和他们的首领们都不认识这一位，也不明白每逢安息日所诵读的先知们的话，就把他定罪，从而应验了这些话。 28 他们虽然找不到处死他的任何理由，还是求彼拉多杀了他。 29 当他们做完了经上所记载的一切有关耶稣的事，有些人就把他从木头上取下来，安放在墓穴里。 30 但是神使他从死人中复活了！ 31 一连好几天，他向那些与他一起从加利利上到耶路撒冷的人显现；这些人如今在民间做了他的见证人， 32 而我们也把应许给祖先的这福音传给你们， 33 因为神使耶稣复活，已经为我们这些做他们儿女[m]的成全了这应许，正如诗篇第二篇也记着：

‘你是我的儿子，
我今天生了你。’[n]

34 至于神使耶稣从死人中复活、不再归于腐朽的事，神曾这样说过：‘我要把给大卫的那圣洁、信实的祝福[o]赐给你们。’[p] 35 所以在另外一处也说：‘你不会让你的圣者经历腐朽。’[q] 36 就是说，大卫虽然在自己的世代，遵行了神的计划之后就睡了，归到他祖先那里，并且经历了腐朽， 37 但是神使之复活的那一位，没有经历腐朽。 38 所以各位兄弟，你们应当知道：罪得赦免，是因着这一位传给你们的。在你们藉着摩西的律法，不能被称为义的一切事上， 39 藉着这一位，所有相信的人都被称为义了。 40 所以你们要当心，免得先知们所说的话临到你们[r]：

41 ‘看吧，你们这些好讥诮的人哪！
惊奇吧，灭亡吧！
因为在你们的时代里，我要做一件事，
就算有人向你们详细说明，
你们也绝不会相信。’[s]”

扫罗与巴拿巴在安提阿

42 保罗和巴拿巴离开会堂[t]的时候，大家[u]请求他们在下一个安息日再向他们讲这些话。 43 散会以后，许多犹太人和入犹太教的敬神之人，跟从了保罗和巴拿巴。他们两个人与这些人谈论，劝导他们继续留在神的恩典中。

44 到了下一个安息日，全城的人几乎都聚集，听主[v]的福音[w]。 45 但犹太人看见这一群人，就满腔嫉妒，说亵渎的话来反对保罗所讲的。

46 保罗和巴拿巴就放胆直言，说：“神的话语[x]先传给你们是必须的。既然你们弃绝这道，断定自己不配得永恒的生命，看哪，我们就转向外邦人， 47 因为主是这样吩咐我们的：

‘我已经指派你为外邦人的光，
使你把救恩带到地极。’[y]”

48 外邦人听了这话就感到欢喜，不住地荣耀主的福音[z]，凡是被预定进入永恒生命的人都信了。 49 于是主的福音[aa]传遍了那整个地区。 50 但犹太人煽动一些敬神的尊贵妇女和城里的显要人物，怂恿他们逼迫保罗和巴拿巴，并且把他们驱逐出境。 51 两个人对着他们跺掉脚上的尘土，往以哥念去了。 52 门徒们都满心喜乐，又被圣灵充满。

Acts 13
New International Version

13 1 Now in the church at Antioch(A) there were prophets(B) and teachers:(C) Barnabas,(D) Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,(E) Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod(F) the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,(G) “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work(H) to which I have called them.”(I) 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them(J) and sent them off.(K)

On Cyprus

4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit,(L) went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.(M) 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God(N) in the Jewish synagogues.(O) John(P) was with them as their helper.

6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer(Q) and false prophet(R) named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was an attendant of the proconsul,(S) Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer(T) (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul(U) from the faith.(V) 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,(W) looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil(X) and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?(Y) 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you.(Z) You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”(AA)

Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul(AB) saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

In Pisidian Antioch

13 From Paphos,(AC) Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia,(AD) where John(AE) left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch.(AF) On the Sabbath(AG) they entered the synagogue(AH) and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law(AI) and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak.”

16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand(AJ) and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country;(AK) 18 for about forty years he endured their conduct[a](AL) in the wilderness;(AM) 19 and he overthrew seven nations in Canaan,(AN) giving their land to his people(AO) as their inheritance.(AP) 20 All this took about 450 years.

“After this, God gave them judges(AQ) until the time of Samuel the prophet.(AR) 21 Then the people asked for a king,(AS) and he gave them Saul(AT) son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin,(AU) who ruled forty years. 22 After removing Saul,(AV) he made David their king.(AW) God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;(AX) he will do everything I want him to do.’(AY)

23 “From this man’s descendants(AZ) God has brought to Israel the Savior(BA) Jesus,(BB) as he promised.(BC) 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel.(BD) 25 As John was completing his work,(BE) he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for.(BF) But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’(BG)

26 “Fellow children of Abraham(BH) and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation(BI) has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus,(BJ) yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets(BK) that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.(BL) 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,(BM) they took him down from the cross(BN) and laid him in a tomb.(BO) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(BP) 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.(BQ) They are now his witnesses(BR) to our people.

32 “We tell you the good news:(BS) What God promised our ancestors(BT) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.(BU) As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You are my son;
    today I have become your father.’[b](BV)

34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’[c](BW)

35 So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’[d](BX)

36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;(BY) he was buried with his ancestors(BZ) and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead(CA) did not see decay.

38 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.(CB) 39 Through him everyone who believes(CC) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.(CD) 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
    wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
    that you would never believe,
    even if someone told you.’[e]”(CE)

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,(CF) the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.(CG)

44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying(CH) and heaped abuse(CI) on him.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first.(CJ) Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.(CK) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

“‘I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,(CL)
    that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’[h]”(CM)

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord;(CN) and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

49 The word of the Lord(CO) spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.(CP) 51 So they shook the dust off their feet(CQ) as a warning to them and went to Iconium.(CR) 52 And the disciples(CS) were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.(CT)
