使徒行传 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
在以哥念传道
14 保罗和巴拿巴一同进入以哥念的犹太会堂讲道,许多犹太人和希腊人信了耶稣。 2 但那些顽梗不信的犹太人却怂恿外族人敌视信徒。 3 二人在那里逗留了好些日子,靠着主勇敢地传道。主赐给他们行神迹奇事的能力,为祂的恩典之道做见证。 4 城里的居民分成了两派,有些附和犹太人,有些支持使徒。
5 当时,有些外族人、犹太人及其官长企图恶待使徒,用石头打他们。 6 保罗和巴拿巴得知后,就逃往吕高尼的路司得和特庇二城并周围的地区, 7 在那里继续传扬福音。
在路司得和特庇传福音
8 路司得城里坐着一个天生双脚无力、不能走路的瘸子。 9 他也听保罗讲道。保罗定睛看他,见这个人有信心,可以得医治, 10 就高声对他说:“起来,两脚站直!”那人就跳了起来,开始行走。 11 周围的人看见保罗所行的,就用吕高尼话大声说:“神明化成人形下凡了!” 12 于是,他们称巴拿巴为希腊天神宙斯,又因为保罗是主要的发言人,就称他为希耳米[a]。 13 城外宙斯庙的祭司也牵着牛、拿着花环来到城门口,要和众人一同向使徒献祭。
14 巴拿巴和保罗见此情形,就撕裂衣服,冲进人群中,大声喊着说: 15 “各位,你们为什么这样做?我们和你们一样只是凡人!我们来这里是要向你们传福音,叫你们离弃这些虚妄的事,转向那创造天、地、海和其中万物的永活上帝。 16 在以往的世代,祂虽然容许万国各行其道, 17 却从未停止用美善的事证实自己的存在。祂常施恩惠,降下甘霖,赏赐丰年,又叫你们衣食饱足,满心喜乐。”
18 保罗和巴拿巴说了这些话,才勉强制止住向他们献祭的人群。 19 有些犹太人从安提阿和以哥念来煽动民众,他们用石头打保罗,以为他死了,就把他拖到城外。 20 当门徒围过来看他的时候,他站了起来,走回城里。第二天,保罗和巴拿巴前往特庇。
返回安提阿
21 他们向那里的人传福音,有很多人做了门徒。然后,他们又回到路司得、以哥念和安提阿, 22 坚固各地门徒的信心,鼓励他们要持守信仰,并且说:“我们在进入上帝国的道路上必经历许多苦难。” 23 二人又为每个教会选立长老,禁食祷告,把他们交托给所信靠的主。
24 后来,二人又经过彼西底,来到旁非利亚, 25 在别加讲道,然后下到亚大利, 26 从那里乘船回安提阿。当初就是在安提阿,他们被交托在上帝的恩手中去传道,如今工作已经完成了。
27 他们到达之后,就召集教会的人,报告上帝借着他们所做的一切事,以及上帝如何给外族人开了信仰之门。 28 之后,二人和门徒同住了很久。

Acts 14
New King James Version
At Iconium
14 Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the (A)Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and [a]poisoned their [b]minds against the brethren. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, (B)who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and (C)wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was (D)divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the (E)apostles. 5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, (F)to abuse and stone them, 6 they became aware of it and (G)fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region. 7 And they were preaching the gospel there.
Idolatry at Lystra
8 (H)And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. [c]Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, (I)“Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. 11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language, (J)“The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” 12 And Barnabas they called [d]Zeus, and Paul, [e]Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, (K)intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, (L)they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, (M)why are you doing these things? (N)We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from (O)these useless things (P)to the living God, (Q)who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 16 (R)who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. 17 (S)Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, (T)gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with (U)food and gladness.” 18 And with these sayings they could scarcely restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
Stoning, Escape to Derbe
19 (V)Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, (W)they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be (X)dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Strengthening the Converts
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city (Y)and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, (Z)exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, (AA)“We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” 23 So when they had (AB)appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. 24 And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 Now when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work which they had completed.
27 Now when they had come and gathered the church together, (AC)they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had (AD)opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 So they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

BasisBijbel
Paulus in Ikonium
14 Ook in Ikonium gingen ze de synagoge van de Joden in. Door wat ze daar vertelden, ging een groot aantal Joden en Grieken in Jezus geloven. 2 Maar de Joden die niet wilden luisteren, stookten de Grieken tegen Paulus en Barnabas op.
3 Paulus en Barnabas bleven daar vrij lang. Vol vertrouwen op de Heer spraken ze over Jezus. Ook deden ze veel wonderen. Daarmee bewees de Heer dat het waar was wat ze zeiden. 4 Maar de mensen in de stad raakten verdeeld. Sommigen waren voor de Joden, anderen voor de apostelen. 5 Er ontstond een rel. Grieken en Joden met hun leiders dromden op de apostelen af. Ze waren van plan hen te mishandelen en met stenen dood te gooien. 6 De apostelen merkten het op tijd. Ze vluchtten naar de steden Lystra en Derbe in de streek Lykaonië. 7 Daar vertelden ze een tijd lang het goede nieuws.
Een verlamde man in Lystra wordt genezen
8 In Lystra woonde een man die al vanaf zijn geboorte verlamde voeten had. Hij had nog nooit gelopen. 9 Deze man luisterde naar Paulus als hij sprak. Paulus keek hem goed aan. Hij zag dat de man geloof had om genezen te worden. 10 Toen zei Paulus luid: "Ga op je voeten staan!" En de man sprong overeind en liep heen en weer. 11 Toen de grote groep mensen zag wat Paulus had gedaan, juichten de mensen in het Lykaonisch: "De goden zijn naar ons toe gekomen, vermomd als mensen!" 12 Ze dachten dat Barnabas de Griekse oppergod Zeus was en Paulus Hermes, de boodschapper van de Griekse goden, omdat hij het woord deed. 13 Vlak bij de stad stond een tempel voor Zeus. En de priester van die tempel bracht stieren en kransen naar de stadspoort om met de mensen een offerfeest voor Paulus en Barnabas te gaan houden.
14 Maar toen Barnabas en Paulus dat hoorden, scheurden ze hun kleren. Ze sprongen tussen de mensen in en riepen tegen hen: 15 "Wat zijn jullie aan het doen? Ook wij zijn maar gewone mensen! Houd alsjeblieft op met het aanbidden van deze machteloze goden! Ga voortaan de levende God dienen! Hij heeft de hemel, de aarde, de zee en alles gemaakt. 16 Vroeger liet Hij de volken hun eigen gang gaan. 17 Maar ook toen al liet Hij de mensen zien dat Hij er is. Want Hij was goed voor jullie en gaf jullie de zon en de regen en goede oogsten, zodat jullie blij konden zijn." 18 Maar zelfs met deze woorden konden ze de mensen maar net tegenhouden om een offerfeest voor hen te houden.
19 Maar toen kwamen er Joden uit Antiochië en Ikonium. Ze stookten de mensen weer op en bekogelden Paulus met stenen. Ze sleepten hem de stad uit en dachten dat hij dood was. 20 Maar toen de leerlingen om hem heen waren komen staan, stond hij op en ging de stad weer in. De volgende dag vertrok hij met Barnabas naar Derbe.
Terug naar Lystra, Ikonium en Antiochië
21 Ook in Derbe vertelden ze het goede nieuws. Ze maakten er een groot aantal leerlingen. Daarna gingen ze terug naar Lystra, Ikonium en Antiochië in Pisidië. 22 Want ze wilden de leerlingen daar aanmoedigen om het geloof vast te houden. En ze vertelden hun dat we allemaal veel moeilijkheden zullen meemaken als we het Koninkrijk van God willen binnengaan. 23 Daarna wezen ze in elke gemeente leiders aan. Ze baden de hele dag, zonder te eten, en vertrouwden hen daarna toe aan de Heer in wie ze geloofden.
24 Daarna reisden ze door Pisidië naar Pamfilië. 25 Daar vertelden ze het woord in de stad Perge. Van Perge reisden ze naar Attalia. 26 Van daar voeren ze naar Antiochië in Syrië vanwaar de mensen hen hadden uitgezonden voor het werk dat ze nu hadden gedaan. 27 Toen ze daar aankwamen, riepen ze de gemeente bij elkaar. Ze vertelden over alle geweldige dingen die God door hen had gedaan. Ze vertelden dat Hij ook voor niet-Joodse mensen de deur van het geloof had opengedaan. 28 Ze bleven daar een tijdlang bij de leerlingen.
Acts 14
New International Version
In Iconium
14 At Iconium(A) Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.(B) There they spoke so effectively that a great number(C) of Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.(D) 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly(E) for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.(F) 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.(G) 5 There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews,(H) together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.(I) 6 But they found out about it and fled(J) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach(K) the gospel.(L)
In Lystra and Derbe
8 In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth(M) and had never walked. 9 He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed(N) 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”(O) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.(P)
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”(Q) 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.(R) 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes(S) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,(T) like you. We are bringing you good news,(U) telling you to turn from these worthless things(V) to the living God,(W) who made the heavens and the earth(X) and the sea and everything in them.(Y) 16 In the past, he let(Z) all nations go their own way.(AA) 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony:(AB) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;(AC) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”(AD) 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Then some Jews(AE) came from Antioch and Iconium(AF) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(AG) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(AH) had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
The Return to Antioch in Syria
21 They preached the gospel(AI) in that city and won a large number(AJ) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(AK) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(AL) “We must go through many hardships(AM) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](AN) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(AO) committed them to the Lord,(AP) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(AQ) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(AR) where they had been committed to the grace of God(AS) for the work they had now completed.(AT) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(AU) and how he had opened a door(AV) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(AW)
