使徒行传 17
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在帖撒罗尼迦传道
17 保罗和赛拉斯经过安菲波利斯和阿波罗尼亚，来到帖撒罗尼迦。那里有一个犹太人的会堂。 2 保罗照习惯进了会堂[a]，一连三个安息日，引用经文向他们讲论， 3 讲解并说明基督必须受难，然后从死人中复活，并且说：“我传给你们的这位耶稣，就是基督。” 4 他们当中有些人被说服了，就跟从了保罗和赛拉斯；不但有一大群敬神的希腊人，还有不少显要的妇女。
耶森受逼迫
5 但那些不肯信从的[b]犹太人嫉妒了，就招聚一些市井无赖，成群结伙，扰乱城市。他们闯进耶森的家，搜寻保罗和赛拉斯，要把他们带到民众那里。 6 可是找不到他们，就把耶森和几位弟兄拉到地方官们那里，喊叫说：“这些搅乱天下的，也来到这里， 7 耶森竟接待了他们！这些人都违背了凯撒的谕令，说另外有一个王，就是耶稣。” 8 民众和地方官们听了这些话就惊慌不安， 9 后来，拿了耶森和其他人的保释金，就把他们释放了。
庇里亚人查考经文
10 弟兄们立刻连夜送保罗和赛拉斯往庇里亚城去。两个人一到，就进了犹太人的会堂。 11 这里的人比帖撒罗尼迦的人开明。他们满心乐意地接受这福音[c]，天天查考经文，要看这些事是否如此。 12 这样，他们当中有许多人相信了，包括尊贵的希腊妇女，以及不少男人。 13 可是当帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人知道保罗又在庇里亚城传扬神的话语[d]时，就来到那里煽动、搅扰[e]民众。 14 于是弟兄们立刻送保罗往海边[f]去，赛拉斯和提摩太仍然留在庇里亚。 15 护送保罗的人一直带他到了雅典，然后领受了要赛拉斯和提摩太尽快到他这里来的指示，就回去了。
保罗在雅典
16 保罗在雅典等候赛拉斯和提摩太的时候，看见满城都是偶像，他灵里被激怒。 17 于是他在会堂里向犹太人以及那些敬神的人讲论，每天又向在街市上遇见的人讲论。 18 有些伊壁鸠鲁派和斯多亚派的哲学家们也与他辩论。
有的说：“这胡言乱语的人，究竟想说什么呢？”也有的说：“他看起来是个宣传外国鬼神的人。”这是因为保罗传讲耶稣和复活的福音。
19 他们就拉住保罗，带他到亚略巴古，问他：“你所讲论的这新教导，我们可以知道吗？ 20 既然你带来了一些奇怪的事，传到我们耳中，那么我们想知道这些事到底是什么意思。” 21 原来，所有的雅典人以及在那里作客的外国人，不做别的，只花时间说说听听某个较为新奇的事。
在亚略巴古的讲道
22 于是保罗站在亚略巴古当中说：“各位雅典人哪，我看你们在各方面都非常敬畏鬼神， 23 因为我边走边观察你们所敬拜的，发现一座祭坛上刻着‘献给不认识的神’；那么，我把你们所不认识而敬拜的这一位，现在传讲给你们。 24 造了宇宙和其中万有的神，这一位既然是天地的主，就不住在人手所造的殿宇里， 25 也不受人手的服事，好像缺少什么似的，因为他自己把生命、气息和万有赐给万人。 26 他从一个人[g]造出人类万族，使他们住在整个地面上，预先设定了他们的年限和所住的疆界， 27 好让他们寻求神[h]，或许因此真能摸索而找到他。其实他离我们每一个人并不远， 28 因为我们活着、行动、生存，都在于他，正如你们中间的一些诗人也曾经说过，‘原来我们也是他的后裔。’ 29 所以我们既然是神的后裔，就不应该认为神性是仿佛用人的手艺和心思所雕刻的金、银、石像。
30 “虽然神并不鉴察那愚昧无知的时代，但如今却吩咐各处所有的人都要悔改， 31 因为他已经确立了日子，将要藉着他所设定的一个人，以公义来审判天下的人，并且藉着使他从死人中复活，给万人带来了确据。”
32 他们听到死人复活的事，虽然有些人嘲笑他，但有些人却说：“关于此事，我们还要再听你说！” 33 这样，保罗就从他们中间出去了。 34 有一些人就跟从了保罗，信了主[i]。其中包括亚略巴古的议员迪奥尼修、一个名叫达玛丽斯的妇人，以及其他与他们在一起的人。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
帖撒羅尼迦的騷動
17 保羅和西拉經過暗非波里、亞波羅尼亞，來到帖撒羅尼迦，在那裡有猶太人的會堂。 2 保羅照他的習慣進去，一連三個安息日，根據聖經與他們辯論， 3 講解證明基督必須受害，從死人中復活，說：“我所傳給你們的這位耶穌，就是基督。” 4 他們中間有人給說服了，就附從了保羅和西拉；還有一大群虔誠的希臘人，和不少顯要的婦女。 5 但猶太人嫉妒起來，招聚了一些市井流氓，糾合成群，騷動全城，衝進了耶孫的家，搜索保羅和西拉，要把他們交給民眾。 6 搜索不到他們，就把耶孫和幾個弟兄，拉到地方長官那裡，喊叫著說：“這些擾亂天下的人，也到這裡來了， 7 耶孫卻收留他們。這些人都違背凱撒的法令，說另外還有一個王耶穌。” 8 群眾和地方長官聽見這話，就驚慌起來， 9 取得耶孫和其餘的人簽保後，才放了他們。
來到比里亞
10 弟兄們當夜立刻送保羅和西拉往比里亞去。二人到了，就進入猶太人的會堂。 11 這裡的人，比帖撒羅尼迦人開明，熱切接受主的道，天天考查聖經，要知道所聽的是否與聖經相符。 12 結果他們中間有很多人信了，也有高貴的希臘婦女，男的也不少。 13 但帖撒羅尼迦的猶太人，知道保羅又在比里亞宣講 神的道，就到那裡去，煽動挑撥群眾。 14 弟兄們立刻把保羅送到海邊去；西拉和提摩太仍然留在比里亞。 15 護送保羅的人帶他到了雅典；保羅吩咐他們叫西拉和提摩太趕快去見他，於是他們就回去了。
在雅典
16 保羅在雅典等候他們的時候，看見滿城都是偶像，心靈十分忿激。 17 於是在會堂裡，同猶太人和虔誠的人辯論；並且天天在市中心和所遇見的人辯論。 18 還有一些伊壁鳩魯派和斯多亞派的哲學家也同他爭論，有的說：“這個拾人牙慧的人要說甚麼呢？”有的說：“他似乎是一個宣傳外地鬼神的人。”這是因為保羅傳揚耶穌和復活的道理。 19 他們拉著保羅，把他帶到亞略．巴古那裡，說：“你所講的這個新道理，我們可以知道嗎？ 20 因為你把一切新奇的事，傳到我們耳中，我們願意知道這些事是甚麼意思。” 21 原來所有雅典人和外僑，專好談論和打聽新奇的事，來打發時間。
22 保羅站在亞略．巴古當中，說：“各位雅典人，我看你們在各方面都非常敬畏鬼神。 23 我走路的時候，仔細看你們所敬拜的，發現有一座壇，上面寫著‘獻給不認識的神’。我現在把你們不認識而敬拜的這位神，傳給你們。 24 創造宇宙和其中萬有的 神，既然是天地的主，就不住在人手所造的殿宇， 25 也不受人手的服事，好像他缺少甚麼；他自己反而把生命、氣息和一切，賜給萬人。 26 他從一個本源造出了萬族來，使他們住在整個大地上，並且定了他們的期限和居住的疆界， 27 要他們尋求 神，或者可以摸索而找到他。其實他離我們各人不遠， 28 因著他我們可以生存、活動、存在，就如你們有些詩人說：‘原來我們也是他的子孫。’ 29 我們既然是 神的子孫，就不應該以為他的神性是好像人用手藝、心思所雕刻的金銀石頭一樣。 30 過去那無知的時代， 神不加以追究；現在，他卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改， 31 因為他已經定好了日子，要藉著他所立的人，按公義審判天下，並且使他從死人中復活，給萬人作一個可信的憑據。”
32 眾人一聽到死人復活的事，就譏笑他，但有的說：“我們要再聽聽你講這件事！” 33 這樣，保羅就離開他們。 34 但有幾個人接近他，並且信了主，其中有亞略．巴古的議員丟尼修，一個名叫戴馬里的女子，還有其他在一起的人。
Acts 17
King James Version
17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Acts 17
New King James Version
Preaching Christ at Thessalonica
17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to (A)Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, (B)went in to them, and for three Sabbaths (C)reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating (D)that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4 (E)And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and (F)Silas.
Assault on Jason’s House
5 But the Jews [a]who were not persuaded, [b]becoming (G)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of (H)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, (I)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has [c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, (J)saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ministering at Berea
10 Then (K)the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more [d]fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and (L)searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. 14 (M)Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and (N)receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
The Philosophers at Athens
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, (O)his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was [e]given over to idols. 17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. 18 [f]Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, “What does this [g]babbler want to say?”
Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached to them (P)Jesus and the resurrection.
19 And they took him and brought him to the [h]Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? 20 For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.” 21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
Addressing the Areopagus
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the [i]Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 (Q)God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is (R)Lord of heaven and earth, (S)does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He (T)gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one [j]blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and (U)the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 (V)so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, (W)though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for (X)in Him we live and move and have our being, (Y)as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, (Z)we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, (AA)these times of ignorance God overlooked, but (AB)now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which (AC)He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by (AD)raising Him from the dead.”
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
