使徒行传 26
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
保罗在亚基帕前为自己分诉
26 亚基帕对保罗说:“准你为自己辩明。”于是保罗伸手分诉说: 2 “亚基帕王啊,犹太人所告我的一切事,今日得在你面前分诉,实为万幸。 3 更可幸的是,你熟悉犹太人的规矩和他们的辩论。所以,求你耐心听我。 4 我从起初在本国的民中,并在耶路撒冷,自幼为人如何,犹太人都知道。 5 他们若肯作见证,就晓得我从起初是按着我们教中最严紧的教门做了法利赛人。 6 现在我站在这里受审,是因为指望神向我们祖宗所应许的。 7 这应许,我们十二个支派昼夜切切地侍奉神,都指望得着。王啊,我被犹太人控告,就是因这指望。 8 神叫死人复活,你们为什么看做不可信的呢? 9 从前我自己以为应当多方攻击拿撒勒人耶稣的名, 10 我在耶路撒冷也曾这样行了。既从祭司长得了权柄,我就把许多圣徒囚在监里;他们被杀,我也出名定案。 11 在各会堂,我屡次用刑强逼他们说亵渎的话,又分外恼恨他们,甚至追逼他们,直到外邦的城邑。 12 那时,我领了祭司长的权柄和命令,往大马士革去。 13 王啊,我在路上,晌午的时候,看见从天发光,比日头还亮,四面照着我并与我同行的人。 14 我们都仆倒在地,我就听见有声音用希伯来话向我说:‘扫罗,扫罗,为什么逼迫我?你用脚踢刺是难的。’ 15 我说:‘主啊,你是谁?’主说:‘我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。
蒙派到外邦传道
16 “你起来站着!我特意向你显现,要派你做执事,作见证,将你所看见的事和我将要指示你的事证明出来。 17 我也要救你脱离百姓和外邦人的手。 18 我差你到他们那里去,要叫他们的眼睛得开,从黑暗中归向光明,从撒旦权下归向神;又因信我,得蒙赦罪,和一切成圣的人同得基业。’ 19 亚基帕王啊,我故此没有违背那从天上来的异象, 20 先在大马士革,后在耶路撒冷和犹太全地,以及外邦,劝勉他们应当悔改归向神,行事与悔改的心相称。 21 因此犹太人在殿里拿住我,想要杀我。 22 然而我蒙神的帮助,直到今日还站得住,对着尊贵、卑贱、老幼作见证。所讲的并不外乎众先知和摩西所说将来必成的事, 23 就是基督必须受害,并且因从死里复活,要首先把光明的道传给百姓和外邦人。”
非斯都说保罗癫狂
24 保罗这样分诉,非斯都大声说:“保罗,你癫狂了吧!你的学问太大,反叫你癫狂了!” 25 保罗说:“非斯都大人,我不是癫狂,我说的乃是真实明白话。 26 王也晓得这些事,所以我向王放胆直言;我深信这些事没有一件向王隐藏的,因都不是在背地里做的。 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:“你想稍微一劝,便叫我做基督徒啊?[a]” 29 保罗说:“无论是少劝是多劝,我向神所求的,不但你一个人,就是今天一切听我的,都要像我一样,只是不要像我有这些锁链。”
30 于是,王和巡抚并百妮基与同坐的人都起来, 31 退到里面,彼此谈论说:“这人并没有犯什么该死、该绑的罪。” 32 亚基帕又对非斯都说:“这人若没有上告于恺撒,就可以释放了。”

Acts 26
New International Version
26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.”(A)
So Paul motioned with his hand(B) and began his defense: 2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you(C) today as I make my defense against all the accusations of the Jews,(D) 3 and especially so because you are well acquainted with all the Jewish customs(E) and controversies.(F) Therefore, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
4 “The Jewish people all know the way I have lived ever since I was a child,(G) from the beginning of my life in my own country, and also in Jerusalem. 5 They have known me for a long time(H) and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect(I) of our religion, living as a Pharisee.(J) 6 And now it is because of my hope(K) in what God has promised our ancestors(L) that I am on trial today. 7 This is the promise our twelve tribes(M) are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night.(N) King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.(O) 8 Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?(P)
9 “I too was convinced(Q) that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose(R) the name of Jesus of Nazareth.(S) 10 And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people(T) in prison,(U) and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.(V) 11 Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished,(W) and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.
12 “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice(X) saying to me in Aramaic,[a](Y) ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet.(Z) I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.(AA) 17 I will rescue you(AB) from your own people and from the Gentiles.(AC) I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes(AD) and turn them from darkness to light,(AE) and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins(AF) and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’(AG)
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient(AH) to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus,(AI) then to those in Jerusalem(AJ) and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles,(AK) I preached that they should repent(AL) and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.(AM) 21 That is why some Jews seized me(AN) in the temple courts and tried to kill me.(AO) 22 But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen(AP)— 23 that the Messiah would suffer(AQ) and, as the first to rise from the dead,(AR) would bring the message of light to his own people and to the Gentiles.”(AS)
24 At this point Festus interrupted Paul’s defense. “You are out of your mind,(AT) Paul!” he shouted. “Your great learning(AU) is driving you insane.”
25 “I am not insane, most excellent(AV) Festus,” Paul replied. “What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26 The king is familiar with these things,(AW) and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”(AX)
29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”(AY)
30 The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice(AZ) and those sitting with them. 31 After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”(BA)
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free(BB) if he had not appealed to Caesar.”(BC)

26 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
