使徒行传 18
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
在哥林多
18 此后，保罗离开雅典，来到哥林多， 2 遇见一个生在本都的犹太人，名叫亚居拉。因为革老丢下令所有的犹太人都要离开罗马，所以亚居拉最近同他的妻子百基拉从意大利来了，保罗就去找他们。 3 他们是以做帐棚为业的，因为是同业，保罗就与他们同住，一同工作。 4 每逢安息日，保罗在会堂辩论，劝导犹太人和希腊人归主。
5 西拉和提摩太从马其顿下来的时候，保罗就专心传扬主的道，向犹太人极力证明耶稣是基督。 6 但是他们抗拒、亵渎，保罗就抖着衣服，对他们说：“你们的罪你们自己承担，这与我无关。从今以后，我要到外族人那里去了。” 7 他离开那里，到了提多．犹士都的家去。这人是敬拜 神的，他的家靠近会堂。 8 会堂主管基利司布和他全家都信了主，许多哥林多人也听了道，信了主，而且受了洗。 9 夜里，主借着异象对保罗说：“不要怕，只管讲，不要闭口！ 10 有我与你同在，必定没有人会攻击和伤害你，因为在这城里有许多属我的人。” 11 保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，把 神的道教导他们。
12 当迦流作亚该亚省长的时候，犹太人一致起来攻击保罗，拉他到审判台前， 13 说：“这个人劝人不照着律法去敬拜 神。” 14 保罗刚要开口，迦流就对犹太人说：“犹太人啊，如果有犯法或邪恶的罪行，我当然要耐心听你们； 15 但所争论的若是关于字句、名称和你们的律法，你们就应当自己处理。我不愿意审判这件事！” 16 于是就把他们从审判台前赶出去。 17 众人揪住会堂主管苏提尼，在审判台前打他。这些事迦流一概不理。
结束第二次宣教旅程
18 保罗住了许多日子，然后辞别弟兄们，坐船去叙利亚，同行的有百基拉和亚居拉。他因为许过愿，现在期满了，就在坚革里剃了头发。 19 到了以弗所，保罗留他们在那里，自己却到会堂去，跟犹太人辩论。 20 众人请他多住些时候，他没有答应， 21 却辞别他们说：“ 神若许可，我还要回到你们这里来。”于是从以弗所开船去了。 22 保罗在该撒利亚登岸，上耶路撒冷问候教会，然后下安提阿去。
第三次宣教旅程
23 住了一些时候，他又动身，先后经过加拉太地区和弗吕家，坚固众门徒。
亚波罗在以弗所传道
24 有一个生在亚历山太的犹太人，名叫亚波罗，来到了以弗所。他很有口才，擅长讲解圣经。 25 这人在主的道上受过训练，心灵火热，很准确地讲论，并且教导人关于耶稣的事，但他只晓得约翰的洗礼。 26 这人在会堂里放胆讲论起来；百基拉和亚居拉听了，就把他接来，把 神的道更准确地向他讲解。 27 亚波罗有意要到亚该亚去，弟兄们就鼓励他，又写信请门徒接待他。他到了那里，对那些蒙恩信主的人帮助很多， 28 因为他当众有力地驳倒犹太人，引用圣经证明耶稣是基督。
Acts 18
Amplified Bible
Paul at Corinth
18 After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla, because [the Roman Emperor] Claudius had issued an edict that all the [a]Jews were to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them; and they worked together for they were tent-makers. 4 And he reasoned and debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks;
5 but when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia (northern Greece), Paul began devoting himself completely to [preaching] the word, and solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 6 But since the Jews kept resisting and opposing him, and blaspheming [God], he [b]shook out his robe and said to them, “Your blood (damnation) be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”(A) 7 Then he moved on from there and went to the house of a man named [c]Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his entire household [joyfully acknowledging Him as Messiah and Savior]; and many of the Corinthians who heard [Paul’s message] were believing and being baptized. 9 One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid anymore, but go on speaking and do not be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you in order to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.”(B) 11 So he settled there for a year and six months, teaching them the word of God [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ].
12 But when [d]Gallio was proconsul of Achaia (southern Greece), the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before [e]the judgment seat, 13 declaring, “This man is persuading people to worship God in violation of the law [of Moses].” 14 But when Paul was about to reply, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some misdemeanor or serious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to put up with you; 15 but since it is merely a question [of doctrine within your religion] about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I am [f]unwilling to judge these matters.” 16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat. 17 Then the Greeks all seized [g]Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him right in front of the judgment seat; but Gallio paid no attention to any of this.(C)
18 Paul stayed for a while longer, and then told the [h]brothers and sisters goodbye and sailed for Syria; and he was accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchrea [the southeastern port of Corinth] he had his hair cut, because he was keeping a [Nazirite] vow [of abstention]. 19 Then they arrived in Ephesus, and he left the others there; but he entered the synagogue and reasoned and debated with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he refused; 21 but after telling them goodbye and saying, “I will return again if God is willing,” he set sail from Ephesus.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and [i]greeted the church [at Jerusalem], and then went down to Antioch.
Paul’s Third Missionary Journey
23 After spending some time there, he left and traveled through the territory of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening and encouraging all the disciples.
24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent and cultured man, and well versed in the [Hebrew] Scriptures. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being spiritually impassioned, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John; 26 and he began to speak boldly and fearlessly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained more accurately to him the way of God [and the full story of the life of Christ]. 27 And when Apollos wanted to go across to Achaia (southern Greece), the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples, [urging them] to welcome him gladly. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who, through grace, had believed and had followed Jesus as Lord and Savior, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public discussions, proving by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
Footnotes
- Acts 18:2 This action may have been prompted by conflicts within the Jewish community caused by the spread of Christianity.
- Acts 18:6 An act symbolizing rejection.
- Acts 18:7 One early ms reads Titus; two early mss omit the name.
- Acts 18:12 Junius Gallio’s term as proconsul was brief a.d. 51-52, but is validated by an ancient inscription found at Delphi. This is important because it establishes the date of Paul’s visit to Corinth while on his second missionary journey and sets the date of his letters to the church at Thessalonica.
- Acts 18:12 The proconsul tried cases from a large, raised stone platform situated in front of his official residence.
- Acts 18:15 Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia, in essence ruled Paul’s teachings to be a form of Judaism and therefore legal under Roman law.
- Acts 18:17 As leader of the synagogue Sosthenes would have presented the charges against Paul. Apparently something related to this made him the target of the attack. If this Sosthenes is the same man mentioned in 1 Cor 1:1, he later became a believer and follower of Christ.
- Acts 18:18 Lit brethren.
- Acts 18:22 This marks the end of Paul’s second missionary journey.
