使徒行传 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗在亚基帕王面前申辩
26 亚基帕对保罗说：“准你为自己辩护。”于是保罗伸手示意，然后为自己辩护说： 2 “亚基帕王啊，面对犹太人对我的种种控告，我今天很荣幸可以在你面前申辩， 3 尤其是你对犹太习俗和各种争议都十分熟悉。因此，求你耐心听我说。
4 “我从小在本族和耶路撒冷为人如何，犹太人都知道。 5 他们认识我很久了，如果他们肯作证的话，他们可以证明我从小就属于犹太教中最严格的法利赛派。 6 现在我站在这里受审，是因为我盼望上帝给我们祖先的应许。 7 我们十二支派日夜虔诚地事奉上帝，盼望这应许能够实现。王啊！就是因为我有这样的盼望，才被犹太人控告。 8 上帝叫死人复活，你们为什么认为不可信呢？ 9 我自己也曾经认为应该尽一切可能反对拿撒勒人耶稣。 10 我在耶路撒冷就是这样做的。我得到祭司长的授权，把许多圣徒[a]关进监狱。他们被判死刑，我也表示赞同。 11 我多次在各会堂惩罚他们，逼他们说亵渎的话，我对他们深恶痛绝，甚至到国外的城镇去追捕、迫害他们。
保罗信主的经过
12 “那时，我带着祭司长的授权和委托去大马士革。 13 王啊！大约中午时分，我在路上看见一道比太阳还亮的光从天上照在我和同行的人周围。 14 我们都倒在地上，我听见有声音用希伯来话对我说，‘扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？你很难用脚去踢刺。’ 15 我说，‘主啊，你是谁？’主说，‘我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 16 你站起来。我向你显现，是要派你做我的仆人和见证人，把你所看见的和以后我将启示给你的事告诉世人。 17 我将把你从你的同胞和外族人手中救出来。我差遣你到他们那里， 18 去开他们的眼睛，使他们弃暗投明，脱离魔鬼的权势，归向上帝，好叫他们的罪得到赦免，与所有因信我而圣洁的人同得基业。’
保罗放胆传道
19 “亚基帕王啊！我没有违背这从天上来的异象。 20 我先在大马士革，然后到耶路撒冷、犹太全境和外族人当中劝人悔改归向上帝，行事为人要与悔改的心相称。 21 就因为这些事，犹太人在圣殿中抓住我，打算杀我。 22 然而，我靠着上帝的帮助，到今天还能站在这里向所有尊卑老幼做见证。我讲的不外乎众先知和摩西说过要发生的事， 23 就是基督必须受害，并首先从死里复活，将光明带给犹太人和外族人。”
24 这时，非斯都打断保罗的申辩，大声说：“保罗，你疯了！一定是你的学问太大，使你神经错乱了！”
25 保罗说：“非斯都大人，我没有疯。我讲的话真实、合理。 26 王了解这些事，所以我才敢在王面前直言。我相信这些事没有一件瞒得过王，因为这些事并非暗地里做的。 27 亚基帕王啊，你信先知吗？我知道你信。”
28 亚基帕王对保罗说：“难道你想三言两语就说服我成为基督徒吗？”
29 保罗说：“不论话多话少，我求上帝不仅使你，也使今天在座的各位都能像我一样，只是不要像我这样带着锁链。”
30 亚基帕王、总督、百妮姬及其他在座的人都站起来， 31 走到一边商量说：“这人没有做什么该判死刑或监禁的事。” 32 亚基帕王对非斯都说：“这人要是没有向凯撒上诉，已经可以获释了。”

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。」

Acts 26
Contemporary English Version
Paul's Defense before Agrippa
26 Agrippa told Paul, “You may now speak for yourself.”
Paul stretched out his hand and said:
2 King Agrippa, I am glad for this chance to defend myself before you today on all these charges my own people have brought against me. 3 You know a lot about our religious customs and the beliefs that divide us. So I ask you to listen patiently to me.
4-5 (A) All the Jews have known me since I was a child. They know what kind of life I have lived in my own country and in Jerusalem. And if they were willing, they could tell you I was a Pharisee, a member of a group that is stricter than any other. 6 Now I am on trial because I believe the promise God made to our people long ago.
7 Day and night our twelve tribes have earnestly served God, waiting for his promised blessings. King Agrippa, because of this hope, some of our leaders have brought charges against me. 8 (B) Why should any of you doubt that God raises the dead to life?
9 (C) I once thought that I should do everything I could to oppose Jesus from Nazareth. 10 I did this first in Jerusalem, and with the authority of the chief priests I put many of God's people in jail. I even voted for them to be killed. 11 I often had them punished in our synagogues, and I tried to make them give up their faith. In fact, I was so angry with them, that I went looking for them in foreign cities.
12 King Agrippa, one day I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and permission of the chief priests. 13 About noon I saw a light brighter than the sun. It flashed from heaven on me and on everyone traveling with me. 14 We all fell to the ground. Then I heard a voice say to me in Aramaic,[a] “Saul, Saul, why are you so cruel to me? It's foolish to fight against me!”
15 “Who are you?” I asked.
Then the Lord answered, “I am Jesus! I am the one you are so cruel to. 16 Now stand up. I have appeared to you, because I have chosen you to be my servant. You are to tell others what you have learned about me and what I will show you later.”
17 The Lord also said, “I will protect you from the Jews and from the Gentiles that I am sending you to. 18 I want you to open their eyes, so they will turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then their sins will be forgiven, and by faith in me they will become part of God's holy people.”
19 King Agrippa, I obeyed this vision from heaven. 20 (D) First I preached to the people in Damascus, and then I went to Jerusalem and all over Judea. Finally, I went to the Gentiles and said, “Stop sinning and turn to God! Then prove what you have done by the way you live.”
21 That is why some men grabbed me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22 But all this time God has helped me, and I have preached both to the rich and to the poor. I have told them only what the prophets and Moses said would happen. 23 (E) I told them how the Messiah would suffer and be the first to be raised from death, so he could bring light to his own people and to the Gentiles.
24 Before Paul finished defending himself, Festus shouted, “Paul, you're crazy! Too much learning has driven you out of your mind.”
25 But Paul replied, “Honorable Festus, I am not crazy. What I am saying is true, and it makes sense. 26 None of these things happened off in a corner somewhere. I am sure that King Agrippa knows what I am talking about. That's why I can speak so plainly to him.”
27 Then Paul said to Agrippa, “Do you believe what the prophets said? I know you do.”
28 Agrippa asked Paul, “In such a short time do you think you can talk me into being a Christian?”
29 Paul answered, “Whether it takes a short time or a long time, I wish you and everyone else who hears me today would become just like me! Except, of course, for these chains.”
30 Then King Agrippa, Governor Festus, Bernice, and everyone who was with them got up. 31 But before they left, they said, “This man isn't guilty of anything. He doesn't deserve to die or to be put in jail.”
32 Agrippa told Festus, “Paul could have been set free, if he had not asked to be tried by the Roman Emperor.”
