使徒行传 24
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
保罗受审
24 过了五天，大祭司亚拿尼亚同几个长老，和一个律师帖土罗来了，他们向总督控告保罗。 2 保罗传来了之后，帖土罗就控诉他说：“腓力斯大人，因着你的缘故，我们大大地享受着太平；因着你的远见，本国大事改革； 3 我们随时随地感激不尽。 4 现在我不想多烦扰你，只求你宽容一下，听我们讲几句话。 5 我们看这个人就像瘟疫一样，是煽动普天下犹太人生乱的人，又是拿撒勒派的首领。 6 他还意图污秽圣殿，我们就把他捉住。（有些抄本在此有以下一段：“我们想按照我们的律法审问他。7可是千夫长吕西亚来了，用武力把他从我们手中抢走，８还吩咐原告到你这里来。”） 8 你亲自审问之后，就必清楚知道我们告他的一切事了。” 9 犹太人也都跟他一同控告保罗，证实事情确是这样。
保罗在腓力斯面前申辩
10 总督向保罗示意，叫他说话，他就说：“我知道你在本国审案多年，所以乐意为自己申辩。 11 你清楚知道，自从我上耶路撒冷去礼拜，到现在还没有十二天； 12 无论在殿里、会堂中或城里，他们都没有看见我跟人辩论，或煽动群众作乱， 13 也不能向你证明他们现在控告我的事。 14 但有一件事我要向你承认，他们所称为异端的这道，我正是根据这道来敬拜我祖先的 神的。一切律法和先知所记的，我都相信。 15 我靠着 神所存的盼望，也是他们自己所期待的，就是义人和不义的人都要复活； 16 因此，我常常勉励自己，对 神对人要常存无亏的良心。 17 过了几年我带着捐款回来赒济本国，同时也带了祭物， 18 他们看见我在殿里的时候，我已经行完了洁净礼，并没有和一大群人在一起，也没有生乱， 19 只有几个从亚西亚来的犹太人而已。他们若有事要控告我，就应该到你面前来控告。 20 要不然，当我站在公议会中受审的时候，这些人若发现我有甚么罪行，早就亲自说出来了。 21 如果有的话，就是我站在他们中间所喊的：‘我今天在你们面前受审，是为了死人复活的事’那一句话。”
22 腓力斯本来就详细晓得这道，却故意拖延他们，说：“等千夫长吕西亚来了，再断定你们的事。” 23 于是吩咐百夫长看守保罗，但要宽待他，不可阻止亲友来照料他。
腓力斯听道后害怕起来
24 过了几天，腓力斯和他的犹太妻子土西拉一同来到，他又传见保罗，听他谈论在耶稣基督里的信仰。 25 保罗讲到公义、自制和将来的审判的时候，腓力斯就害怕起来，说：“你先走吧，等我有空的时候再叫你来。” 26 同时他也希望保罗送钱给他，所以又多次传见他，和他谈话。
27 过了两年，波求．非斯都接了腓力斯的任；腓力斯为要讨好犹太人，就把保罗留在监里。

犹太人指控保罗
24 五天后，大祭司亚拿尼亚和一些年长的犹太首领，以及一个名叫帖土罗的律师，来到该撒利亚。他们在总督面前指控保罗。 2 保罗被带进来时，帖土罗便起诉道：
“腓力斯阁下，我们因为你经历了巨大的和平，这个国家又因为你的远见发生了一些必要的改革。 3 在任何地方，用任何方式，我们都用深切的感激之情承认这点。 4 为不占用你过多的时间，我恳求您肯垂听我们的简短叙述。 5 我们发现他是个惹事生非的人，他在全世界的犹太人中间挑起骚乱，而且还是拿撒勒人党派的一个头目。
保罗在腓力斯面前为自己辨护
10 这时，总督示意让保罗回答，保罗便说∶“我知道您做这个民族的法官已经很多年了，我很高兴在您面前为自己辩护。 11 您可以查对，我到耶路撒冷来崇拜，一共不过十二天， 12 他们没有发现我在大殿院里跟任何人争吵过，也从来没有在会堂或在城里的其它一些地方煽动人民。 13 他们现在无法向您证实，他们对我的指控。 14 有一件事，我可以向您承认：我依照此道来崇拜我们祖先的上帝－他们称此道为异端。但是，我相信摩西律法里所教导的每一件事，我还相信先知书中所记载的一切。 15 我和这些犹太人对上帝有同样的盼望－这盼望就是所有的人不论好坏，都将从死里复活。 16 因此，我总是力求在上帝和人类的面前，保持自己清白的良知。
17 在外几年后，我回到耶路撒冷，给我的民族带来了救济穷人的礼物，并贡献祭品。 18 当他们在大殿院里发现我的时候，我正在做这事，我已经行过净礼，我周围没人聚众，我也没有挑起任何麻烦。 19 一些从亚西亚来的犹太人在那里，他们倒是应该在这里，站在您的面前控告我，如果他们有什么跟我过不去的事。 20 或者，让在场的这些人说说当我站在议会面前时，他们发现我犯了什么错－ 21 除非是我站在他们中间高喊过这话∶‘今天，我在你们面前受审判是关于死者复活之事。’”
22 腓力斯熟知此道的事情，他打断了听讼，说道∶“指挥官吕西亚到这里时，我会决定你们的案子。” 23 他命令军官把保罗看管起来，但允许他有些自由，也不要阻挡他的朋友为他提供日常所需。
保罗对腓力斯和他妻子讲道
24 几天之后，腓力斯和他的妻子犹太人女子土西拉来了，腓力斯让人把保罗带来，听他讲述对基督耶稣的信仰。 25 可是，当保罗谈论正义、自制和即将来临的审判时，腓力斯害怕了， 26 他说∶“你现在走吧，等我方便时，再叫你来。”同时，他指望着保罗能给他送些钱，因此他常常叫他来和他谈话。
27 两年过去了，波求非斯都，接替腓力斯，做了总督。因为腓力斯想讨好犹太人，于是便把保罗留在了牢里。（在他任总督期满时。）

Acts 24
King James Version
24 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

Paul before Felix at Caesarea
24 And after five days the high priest Anani′as came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertul′lus. They laid before the governor their case against Paul; 2 and when he was called, Tertul′lus began to accuse him, saying:
“Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your provision, most excellent Felix, reforms are introduced on behalf of this nation, 3 in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. 4 But, to detain you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. 5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes. 6 He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.[a] 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to learn from him about everything of which we accuse him.”
9 The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all this was so.
Paul’s Defense before Felix
10 And when the governor had motioned to him to speak, Paul replied:
“Realizing that for many years you have been judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense. 11 As you may ascertain, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem; 12 and they did not find me disputing with any one or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city. 13 Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me. 14 But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets, 15 having a hope in God which these themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. 16 So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward God and toward men. 17 Now after some years I came to bring to my nation alms and offerings. 18 As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia— 19 they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, if they have anything against me. 20 Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council, 21 except this one thing which I cried out while standing among them, ‘With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.’”
22 But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lys′ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case.” 23 Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but should have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.
Paul Held in Custody
24 After some days Felix came with his wife Drusil′la, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and heard him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus. 25 And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you.” 26 At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him. 27 But when two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
