使徒行传 26
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
保羅在亞基帕王面前申辯(A)
26 亞基帕對保羅說:“准你為自己申辯。”於是保羅伸手辯護說: 2 “亞基帕王啊,猶太人控告我的事,今天我可以在你面前辯護,實在是萬幸; 3 特別是你熟悉猶太人的一切規例和爭論,所以求你耐心聽我申訴: 4 我從幼年到現在,在本國、在耶路撒冷為人怎樣,猶太人都知道。 5 如果他們肯作證的話,他們是早就知道,我是按著我們祖宗最嚴格的教派,過著法利賽人的生活。 6 現在我站著受審,是為了對 神向我們祖先的應許存著盼望。 7 我們十二支派晝夜切切地事奉 神,都是盼望這應許實現。王啊,我被猶太人控告,正是為了這個盼望。 8 神使死人復活,你們為甚麼認為是不可信的呢? 9 從前,我也認為應該多方敵對拿撒勒人耶穌的名。 10 後來就在耶路撒冷這樣作了。我得到了眾祭司長授權,把許多聖徒關在監裡,並且他們被殺的時候,我也表示同意。 11 我在各會堂裡多次用刑強迫他們說褻瀆的話;我非常憤恨他們,甚至追到國外的城巿去迫害他們。
12 “那時候,我得到祭司長的授權和准許,去大馬士革。 13 王啊,就在中午的時候,我在路上看見一道光,比太陽更明亮,從天上四面照著我和同行的人。 14 我們都仆倒在地上,我聽見有聲音用希伯來話對我說:‘掃羅!掃羅!你為甚麼迫害我?你要踢刺是難的。’ 15 我說:‘主啊,你是誰?’主說:‘我就是你所迫害的耶穌。 16 你起來,站著,我向你顯現,是要指派你為我工作。你要為你所見過的事,和我將要向你顯明的事作見證。 17 我要救你脫離這人民和外族人,差遣你到他們那裡去, 18 開他們的眼睛,使他們從黑暗中歸向光明,從撒但的權下歸向 神,使他們的罪惡得到赦免,並且在那些因信我而成聖的人中同得基業。’
19 “亞基帕王啊,因此,我沒有違背這從天上來的異象, 20 先向大馬士革、耶路撒冷、猶太全地的人宣講,後向外族人宣講,叫他們悔改,歸向 神,行事與悔改的心相稱。 21 猶太人就是為了這緣故在殿裡捉住我,想要殺我。 22 然而,我得到 神的幫助,直到今日還是站得穩,向尊卑老幼作見證,我所講的都是眾先知和摩西所論的將來必成的事, 23 就是基督必須受難,並且從死人中首先復活,把光明的信息傳報給這人民和外族人。”
保羅說服亞基帕王
24 保羅申訴到這裡,非斯都大聲說:“保羅!你瘋了;你的學問太大,使你瘋了!” 25 保羅說:“非斯都大人,我沒有瘋,我說的都是真實的話,清醒的話。 26 因為王知道這些事,所以我對王坦白直說。我確信這些事沒有一件能瞞得過他,因為這不是在背地裡作的。 27 亞基帕王啊,你信先知嗎?我知道你是信的。” 28 亞基帕對保羅說:“你想用這樣短短的時間就可以說服我作基督徒嗎!” 29 保羅說:“無論時間短也好,時間長也好,我向 神所求的,不單是你,而且是今天所有的聽眾,都能像我一樣作基督徒,只是不要有這些鎖鍊。”
30 亞基帕王、總督和百尼基,還有在座的人都站起來, 31 退到一邊,彼此談論,說:“這個人並沒有犯過甚麼該死該綁的罪。” 32 亞基帕對非斯都說:“這個人若沒有向凱撒上訴,早就可以釋放了。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
保羅在亞基帕王面前申辯
26 亞基帕對保羅說:「准你為自己辯護。」於是保羅伸手示意,然後為自己辯護說: 2 「亞基帕王啊,面對猶太人對我的種種控告,我今天很榮幸可以在你面前申辯, 3 尤其是你對猶太習俗和各種爭議都十分熟悉。因此,求你耐心聽我說。
4 「我從小在本族和耶路撒冷為人如何,猶太人都知道。 5 他們認識我很久了,如果他們肯作證的話,他們可以證明我從小就屬於猶太教中最嚴格的法利賽派。 6 現在我站在這裡受審,是因為我盼望上帝給我們祖先的應許。 7 我們十二支派日夜虔誠地事奉上帝,盼望這應許能夠實現。王啊!就是因為我有這樣的盼望,才被猶太人控告。 8 上帝叫死人復活,你們為什麼認為不可信呢? 9 我自己也曾經認為應該盡一切可能反對拿撒勒人耶穌。 10 我在耶路撒冷就是這樣做的。我得到祭司長的授權,把許多聖徒[a]關進監獄。他們被判死刑,我也表示贊同。 11 我多次在各會堂懲罰他們,逼他們說褻瀆的話,我對他們深惡痛絕,甚至到國外的城鎮去追捕、迫害他們。
保羅信主的經過
12 「那時,我帶著祭司長的授權和委託去大馬士革。 13 王啊!大約中午時分,我在路上看見一道比太陽還亮的光從天上照在我和同行的人周圍。 14 我們都倒在地上,我聽見有聲音用希伯來話對我說,『掃羅!掃羅!你為什麼迫害我?你很難用腳去踢刺。』 15 我說,『主啊,你是誰?』主說,『我就是你所迫害的耶穌。 16 你站起來。我向你顯現,是要派你作我的僕人和見證人,把你所看見的和以後我將啟示給你的事告訴世人。 17 我將把你從你的同胞和外族人手中救出來。我差遣你到他們那裡, 18 去開他們的眼睛,使他們棄暗投明,脫離魔鬼的權勢,歸向上帝,好叫他們的罪得到赦免,與所有因信我而聖潔的人同得基業。』
保羅放膽傳道
19 「亞基帕王啊!我沒有違背這從天上來的異象。 20 我先在大馬士革,然後到耶路撒冷、猶太全境和外族人當中勸人悔改歸向上帝,行事為人要與悔改的心相稱。 21 就因為這些事,猶太人在聖殿中抓住我,打算殺我。 22 然而,我靠著上帝的幫助,到今天還能站在這裡向所有尊卑老幼做見證。我講的不外乎眾先知和摩西說過要發生的事, 23 就是基督必須受害,並首先從死裡復活,將光明帶給猶太人和外族人。」
24 這時,非斯都打斷保羅的申辯,大聲說:「保羅,你瘋了!一定是你的學問太大,使你神經錯亂了!」
25 保羅說:「非斯都大人,我沒有瘋。我講的話真實、合理。 26 王瞭解這些事,所以我才敢在王面前直言。我相信這些事沒有一件瞞得過王,因為這些事並非暗地裡做的。 27 亞基帕王啊,你信先知嗎?我知道你信。」
28 亞基帕王對保羅說:「難道你想三言兩語就說服我成為基督徒嗎?」
29 保羅說:「不論話多話少,我求上帝不僅使你,也使今天在座的各位都能像我一樣,只是不要像我這樣帶著鎖鏈。」
30 亞基帕王、總督、百妮姬及其他在座的人都站起來, 31 走到一邊商量說:「這人沒有做什麼該判死刑或監禁的事。」 32 亞基帕王對非斯都說:「這人要是沒有向凱撒上訴,已經可以獲釋了。」

保罗在亚基帕王面前申辩(A)
26 亚基帕对保罗说:“准你为自己申辩。”于是保罗伸手辩护说: 2 “亚基帕王啊,犹太人控告我的事,今天我可以在你面前辩护,实在是万幸; 3 特别是你熟悉犹太人的一切规例和争论,所以求你耐心听我申诉: 4 我从幼年到现在,在本国、在耶路撒冷为人怎样,犹太人都知道。 5 如果他们肯作证的话,他们是早就知道,我是按着我们祖宗最严格的教派,过着法利赛人的生活。 6 现在我站着受审,是为了对 神向我们祖先的应许存着盼望。 7 我们十二支派昼夜切切地事奉 神,都是盼望这应许实现。王啊,我被犹太人控告,正是为了这个盼望。 8 神使死人复活,你们为甚么认为是不可信的呢? 9 从前,我也认为应该多方敌对拿撒勒人耶稣的名。 10 后来就在耶路撒冷这样作了。我得到了众祭司长授权,把许多圣徒关在监里,并且他们被杀的时候,我也表示同意。 11 我在各会堂里多次用刑强迫他们说亵渎的话;我非常愤恨他们,甚至追到国外的城巿去迫害他们。
12 “那时候,我得到祭司长的授权和准许,去大马士革。 13 王啊,就在中午的时候,我在路上看见一道光,比太阳更明亮,从天上四面照着我和同行的人。 14 我们都仆倒在地上,我听见有声音用希伯来话对我说:‘扫罗!扫罗!你为甚么迫害我?你要踢刺是难的。’ 15 我说:‘主啊,你是谁?’主说:‘我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 16 你起来,站着,我向你显现,是要指派你为我工作。你要为你所见过的事,和我将要向你显明的事作见证。 17 我要救你脱离这人民和外族人,差遣你到他们那里去, 18 开他们的眼睛,使他们从黑暗中归向光明,从撒但的权下归向 神,使他们的罪恶得到赦免,并且在那些因信我而成圣的人中同得基业。’
19 “亚基帕王啊,因此,我没有违背这从天上来的异象, 20 先向大马士革、耶路撒冷、犹太全地的人宣讲,后向外族人宣讲,叫他们悔改,归向 神,行事与悔改的心相称。 21 犹太人就是为了这缘故在殿里捉住我,想要杀我。 22 然而,我得到 神的帮助,直到今日还是站得稳,向尊卑老幼作见证,我所讲的都是众先知和摩西所论的将来必成的事, 23 就是基督必须受难,并且从死人中首先复活,把光明的信息传报给这人民和外族人。”
保罗说服亚基帕王
24 保罗申诉到这里,非斯都大声说:“保罗!你疯了;你的学问太大,使你疯了!” 25 保罗说:“非斯都大人,我没有疯,我说的都是真实的话,清醒的话。 26 因为王知道这些事,所以我对王坦白直说。我确信这些事没有一件能瞒得过他,因为这不是在背地里作的。 27 亚基帕王啊,你信先知吗?我知道你是信的。” 28 亚基帕对保罗说:“你想用这样短短的时间就可以说服我作基督徒吗!” 29 保罗说:“无论时间短也好,时间长也好,我向 神所求的,不单是你,而且是今天所有的听众,都能像我一样作基督徒,只是不要有这些锁炼。”
30 亚基帕王、总督和百尼基,还有在座的人都站起来, 31 退到一边,彼此谈论,说:“这个人并没有犯过甚么该死该绑的罪。” 32 亚基帕对非斯都说:“这个人若没有向凯撒上诉,早就可以释放了。”
Acts 26
Tree of Life Version
Defense Before King Agrippa
26 Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.”
Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense. 2 “Concerning all I am accused of by the Judean leaders, I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that it is before you that I am about to make my defense today— 3 since you are especially knowledgeable about all Jewish customs and issues. Therefore I beg you to listen patiently to me.
4 “Now all the Jewish people have known my manner of life ever since my youth, starting from the beginning in my own nation and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known about me for a long time—if they were willing to testify—that according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived as a Pharisee.
6 “Yet now I stand here being judged for the hope in the promise made by God to our fathers. 7 It is the promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jewish people, O King! 8 Why is it judged incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
9 “In fact, I myself thought it was necessary to do many things in opposition to the name of Yeshua ha-Natzrati. 10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem. Not only did I lock up many of the kedoshim in prisons by the authority I received from the ruling kohanim, but I cast my vote against them when they were being condemned to death. 11 I tried to cause them to blaspheme by punishing them often in the synagogues. In furious rage against them, I persecuted them even in foreign cities.
12 “While journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the ruling kohanim, 13 at midday, O King, I saw on the road a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me. 14 When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against goads!’
15 “Then I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“And the Lord said, ‘I am Yeshua—whom you are persecuting. 16 But get up, and stand on your feet.[a] For I have appeared to you for this purpose—to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things you have seen as well as to the things I will yet reveal to you. 17 I will rescue you[b] from your own people, and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you, 18 to open their eyes—so they may turn from darkness to light[c] and from the power of satan to God, that they may receive release from sins as well as a place among those who are made holy through trusting in Me.’
19 “Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. 20 Rather, I kept declaring—first to those in Damascus, and then Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also the Gentiles—that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds consistent with that repentance.
21 “For this reason some Judeans seized me in the Temple and tried to put me to death. 22 Since I have had God’s help, to this day I have stood here testifying to both small and great. I am saying nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to happen— 23 that the Messiah was to suffer and that, being first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim light both to our people and to the nations.[d]”
24 As Paul was thus making his defense, Festus says with a loud voice, “You’re crazy, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
25 But Paul declares, “I am not insane, most noble Festus! Rather I am speaking the sober truth. 26 For the king knows about these things, and I speak freely to him, since I am convinced that none of these things escape his notice—for this was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you do believe!”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time you are trying to persuade me to be Messianic!”[e]
29 And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would pray to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today would be such as I am—except for these chains!”
30 Then the king stood up, as well as the governor, Bernice, and those sitting with them. 31 When they had gone away, they began talking among themselves, saying, “This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”
32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free, if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
