使徒行传 24
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅受審
24 過了五天，大祭司亞拿尼亞同幾個長老，和一個律師帖土羅來了，他們向總督控告保羅。 2 保羅傳來了之後，帖土羅就控訴他說：“腓力斯大人，因著你的緣故，我們大大地享受著太平；因著你的遠見，本國大事改革； 3 我們隨時隨地感激不盡。 4 現在我不想多煩擾你，只求你寬容一下，聽我們講幾句話。 5 我們看這個人就像瘟疫一樣，是煽動普天下猶太人生亂的人，又是拿撒勒派的首領。 6 他還意圖污穢聖殿，我們就把他捉住。（有些抄本在此有以下一段：“我們想按照我們的律法審問他。7可是千夫長呂西亞來了，用武力把他從我們手中搶走，８還吩咐原告到你這裡來。”） 8 你親自審問之後，就必清楚知道我們告他的一切事了。” 9 猶太人也都跟他一同控告保羅，證實事情確是這樣。
保羅在腓力斯面前申辯
10 總督向保羅示意，叫他說話，他就說：“我知道你在本國審案多年，所以樂意為自己申辯。 11 你清楚知道，自從我上耶路撒冷去禮拜，到現在還沒有十二天； 12 無論在殿裡、會堂中或城裡，他們都沒有看見我跟人辯論，或煽動群眾作亂， 13 也不能向你證明他們現在控告我的事。 14 但有一件事我要向你承認，他們所稱為異端的這道，我正是根據這道來敬拜我祖先的 神的。一切律法和先知所記的，我都相信。 15 我靠著 神所存的盼望，也是他們自己所期待的，就是義人和不義的人都要復活； 16 因此，我常常勉勵自己，對 神對人要常存無虧的良心。 17 過了幾年我帶著捐款回來賙濟本國，同時也帶了祭物， 18 他們看見我在殿裡的時候，我已經行完了潔淨禮，並沒有和一大群人在一起，也沒有生亂， 19 只有幾個從亞西亞來的猶太人而已。他們若有事要控告我，就應該到你面前來控告。 20 要不然，當我站在公議會中受審的時候，這些人若發現我有甚麼罪行，早就親自說出來了。 21 如果有的話，就是我站在他們中間所喊的：‘我今天在你們面前受審，是為了死人復活的事’那一句話。”
22 腓力斯本來就詳細曉得這道，卻故意拖延他們，說：“等千夫長呂西亞來了，再斷定你們的事。” 23 於是吩咐百夫長看守保羅，但要寬待他，不可阻止親友來照料他。
腓力斯聽道後害怕起來
24 過了幾天，腓力斯和他的猶太妻子土西拉一同來到，他又傳見保羅，聽他談論在耶穌基督裡的信仰。 25 保羅講到公義、自制和將來的審判的時候，腓力斯就害怕起來，說：“你先走吧，等我有空的時候再叫你來。” 26 同時他也希望保羅送錢給他，所以又多次傳見他，和他談話。
27 過了兩年，波求．非斯都接了腓力斯的任；腓力斯為要討好猶太人，就把保羅留在監裡。

Paul Before Felix at Caesarea
24 And (A)after five days the high priest (B)Ananias came down with some elders and a spokesman, one Tertullus. They laid before (C)the governor their case against Paul. 2 And when he had been summoned, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:
“Since through you we enjoy much peace, and since by your foresight, (D)most excellent Felix, reforms are being made for this nation, 3 in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude. 4 But, to detain[a] you no further, I beg you in your kindness to hear us briefly. 5 For we have found this man a plague, (E)one who stirs up riots among all the Jews throughout the world and is a ringleader of (F)the sect of the Nazarenes. 6 (G)He even tried to profane the temple, but we seized him.[b] 8 By examining him yourself you will be able to find out from him about everything of which we accuse him.”
9 The Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that all these things were so.
10 And when the governor had nodded to him to speak, Paul replied:
“Knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense. 11 You can verify that (H)it is not more than twelve days since I (I)went up (J)to worship in Jerusalem, 12 and (K)they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues or in the city. 13 (L)Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me. 14 But this I confess to you, that according to (M)the Way, which they call (N)a sect, (O)I worship (P)the God of our fathers, believing everything (Q)laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, 15 (R)having (S)a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be (T)a resurrection (U)of both the just and the unjust. 16 So I always (V)take pains to have a (W)clear conscience toward both God and man. 17 Now (X)after several years (Y)I came to bring alms to (Z)my nation and to present (AA)offerings. 18 While I was doing this, they found me (AB)purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But (AC)some Jews from Asia— 19 (AD)they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, should they have anything against me. 20 Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council, 21 other than this one thing (AE)that I cried out while standing among them: ‘It is with respect to the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you this day.’”
Paul Kept in Custody
22 But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of (AF)the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case.” 23 Then he gave orders to the centurion that he (AG)should be kept in custody but have some liberty, and that (AH)none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.
24 After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about (AI)faith (AJ)in Christ Jesus. 25 And as he reasoned (AK)about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. (AL)When I get an opportunity I will summon you.” 26 At the same time he hoped (AM)that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him. 27 When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius (AN)Festus. And (AO)desiring to do the Jews a favor, (AP)Felix left Paul in prison.

Paul Presents His Case to Felix
24 Five days later, the high priest Ananias arrived with certain elders and Tertullus, an attorney, and they summarized their case against Paul before the governor. 2 When Paul[a] had been summoned, Tertullus opened the prosecution by saying:
“Your Excellency Felix, since we are enjoying lasting peace because of you, and since reforms for this nation are being brought about through your foresight, 3 we always and everywhere acknowledge it with profound gratitude. 4 But so as not to detain you any further, I beg you to hear us briefly with your customary graciousness. 5 For we have found this man a perfect pest and an agitator among all Jews throughout the world. He is a ringleader in the sect of the Nazarenes[b] 6 and even tried to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.[c] 8 By examining him for yourself, you will be able to find out from him everything of which we accuse him.”
9 The Jewish leaders[d] supported his accusations by asserting that these things were true. 10 When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he replied:
“Since I know that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I am pleased to present my defense. 11 You can verify for yourself that I went up to worship in Jerusalem no more than twelve days ago. 12 They never found me debating with anyone in the Temple or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or throughout the city, 13 and they cannot prove to you the charges they are now bringing against me. 14 However, I admit to you that in accordance with the Way, which they call a heresy,[e] I worship the God of our ancestors and believe in everything written in the Law and the Prophets. 15 I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish—that there is to be a resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. 16 Therefore, I always do my best to have a clear conscience before God and people. 17 After many years, I have come back to my people to bring gifts for the poor and to offer sacrifices. 18 They found me in the Temple doing these things just as I had completed the purification ceremony. No crowd or noisy mob was present. 19 But some Jews from Asia were there, and they should be here before you to accuse me if they have anything against me. 20 Otherwise, these men themselves should tell what wrong they found when I stood before the Council[f]— 21 unless it is for the one thing I shouted as I stood among them: ‘It is for the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
22 Felix was rather well informed about the Way, and so he adjourned the trial with the comment, “When Tribune Lysias arrives, I’ll decide your case.” 23 He ordered the centurion to guard Paul[g] but to let him have some freedom and not to keep any of his friends from caring for his needs.
24 Some days later, Felix arrived with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him talk about faith in Jesus[h] the Messiah.[i] 25 As Paul[j] talked about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became afraid and said, “For the present you may go. When I get a chance, I will send for you again.” 26 At the same time he was hoping to receive a bribe from Paul, and so he would send for him frequently to talk with him.
27 After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. Since Felix wanted to do the Jews a favor, he left Paul in prison.

保罗在腓利斯面前受审
24 五天后，大祭司亚拿尼亚带着几个长老和一位叫帖土罗的律师下到凯撒利亚，向总督控告保罗。 2 保罗被传来后，帖土罗指控他说：“腓利斯大人深谋远虑，在大人的领导下，国中有许多改革，我们常享太平。 3 我们对大人的恩德感激不尽。 4 我不敢耽误大人太久，只求大人容我们简单叙述。 5 我们发现这个人惹事生非，到处煽动犹太人闹事。他是拿撒勒教派的一个头目， 6 企图玷污圣殿，被我们抓住了。我们想按照犹太律法处置他， 7 不料吕西亚千夫长却硬把他从我们手中抢走， 8 并命令告他的人到大人这里来。[a]大人亲自审问他，就会知道我们告他的事了。” 9 在场的犹太人也随声附和，表示这些事属实。
保罗的申辩
10 总督点头示意保罗可以发言，于是保罗说：“我知道大人在犹太执法多年，我很乐意在你面前为自己辩护。 11 大人明鉴，从我上耶路撒冷礼拜至今不过十二天。 12 这些人根本没有见过我在圣殿、会堂或城里与人争辩，聚众闹事。 13 他们对我的指控毫无根据。 14 但有一点我必须承认，就是我依循他们称之为异端的道事奉我们祖先的上帝，我也相信律法书和先知书的一切记载， 15 并且我与他们在上帝面前有同样的盼望，就是义人和不义的人都要复活。 16 因此，我一直尽力在上帝和人面前都做到问心无愧。
17 “我离开耶路撒冷已有多年，这次回来是带着捐款要周济同胞，并献上祭物。 18 他们看见我的时候，我已行过洁净礼，正在圣殿里献祭，没有聚众，也没有作乱。 19 当时只有几个从亚细亚来的犹太人在那里，如果他们有事要告我，应该到你这里告我； 20 不然，请这些出庭的人指出他们在公会审问我时发现了什么罪。 21 如果有，也无非是当时我站在他们当中喊了一句，‘我今天在你们面前受审与死人复活有关。’”
22 腓利斯原本对这道颇有认识，于是下令休庭，说：“等吕西亚千夫长抵达后，我再断你们的案子。” 23 他派百夫长看守保罗，给他一定的自由，也允许亲友来供应他的需要。
24 几天后，腓利斯和他的妻子犹太人土西拉一同来了，召见保罗，听他讲信基督耶稣的事。 25 当保罗讲到公义、节制和将来的审判时，腓利斯十分恐惧，说：“你先下去吧，改天有机会，我再叫你来。” 26 腓利斯希望保罗贿赂他，所以经常召他来谈话。 27 过了两年，波求·非斯都接任总督，腓利斯为了讨好犹太人，仍然把保罗留在监里。
