土人的接待

28 我们既已得救,才知道那岛名叫马耳他 土人看待我们有非常的情分,因为当时下雨,天气又冷,就生火接待我们众人。 那时,保罗拾起一捆柴,放在火上,有一条毒蛇因为热了出来,咬住他的手。 土人看见那毒蛇悬在他手上,就彼此说:“这人必是个凶手,虽然从海里救上来,天理还不容他活着。” 保罗竟把那毒蛇甩在火里,并没有受伤。 土人想他必要肿起来,或是忽然仆倒死了。看了多时,见他无害,就转念说:“他是个神!”

部百流款待保罗

离那地方不远,有田产是岛长部百流的。他接纳我们,尽情款待三日。 当时,部百流的父亲患热病和痢疾躺着。保罗进去为他祷告,按手在他身上,治好了他。 从此,岛上其余的病人也来,得了医治。 10 他们又多方地尊敬我们,到了开船的时候,也把我们所需用的送到船上。

再行水程

11 过了三个月,我们上了亚历山大的船往前行。这船以“宙斯双子”为记,是在那海岛过了冬的。 12 到了叙拉古,我们停泊三日, 13 又从那里绕行,来到利基翁。过了一天,起了南风,第二天就来到部丢利 14 在那里遇见弟兄们,请我们与他们同住了七天。这样,我们来到罗马 15 那里的弟兄们一听见我们的信息,就出来到亚比乌市和三馆地方迎接我们。保罗见了他们,就感谢神,放心壮胆。

进了罗马城

16 进了罗马城,[a]保罗蒙准和一个看守他的兵另住在一处。

保罗请犹太的首领来声明上控的缘由

17 过了三天,保罗犹太人的首领来。他们来了,就对他们说:“弟兄们,我虽没有做什么事干犯本国的百姓和我们祖宗的规条,却被锁绑,从耶路撒冷解在罗马人的手里。 18 他们审问了我,就愿意释放我,因为在我身上并没有该死的罪。 19 无奈犹太人不服,我不得已,只好上告于恺撒,并非有什么事要控告我本国的百姓。 20 因此,我请你们来见面说话。我原为以色列人所指望的,被这链子捆锁。” 21 他们说:“我们并没有接着从犹太来论你的信,也没有弟兄到这里来报给我们说你有什么不好处。 22 但我们愿意听你的意见如何,因为这教门我们晓得是到处被毁谤的。”

23 他们和保罗约定了日子,就有许多人到他的寓处来。保罗从早到晚,对他们讲论这事,证明神国的道,引摩西的律法和先知的书,以耶稣的事劝勉他们。 24 他所说的话,有信的,有不信的。 25 他们彼此不合,就散了。未散以先,保罗说了一句话,说:“圣灵借先知以赛亚向你们祖宗所说的话是不错的。 26 他说:‘你去告诉这百姓说:你们听是要听见,却不明白;看是要看见,却不晓得。 27 因为这百姓油蒙了心,耳朵发沉,眼睛闭着,恐怕眼睛看见,耳朵听见,心里明白,回转过来,我就医治他们。’ 28 所以你们当知道,神这救恩如今传给外邦人,他们也必听受。”[b]

保罗在罗马传道足足两年

30 保罗在自己所租的房子里住了足足两年。凡来见他的人,他全都接待, 31 放胆传讲神国的道,将主耶稣基督的事教导人,并没有人禁止。

保罗在马耳他岛上

28 大家安全上岸后,才知道这个岛名叫马耳他。 当地居民们对我们非常热情,他们生了一堆火,迎接我们大家,因为当时下雨天冷。 保罗又拾来了一堆柴火,放在火上。这时一条蛇因为热钻了出来,咬住了保罗的手, 当地居民看到蛇从保罗的手上垂下来,彼此便说道∶“这家伙肯定是个杀人犯,虽然他从海上逃了出来,义 [a]还是不让他活。” 但是保罗把蛇甩到了火里,自己一点也没受伤害。 他们原以为,他会肿胀或者突然倒地死去,可等了好久,什么异常现象都没看见,就改变了对他的看法,说他是个神。

离那个地方不远,酋长部百流有一些田产。他把我们迎到家里,热情地款待了我们三天。 酋长的父亲正患热病和痢疾,躺在床上。保罗走进屋去看望他。祷告一番之后,把手放在了他的身上,他便被治愈了。 此后,岛上有病的人都来了,并都得到了治疗。 10 他们给了我们很多礼物。当我们启程时,为我们备齐了所需的东西。

保罗去罗马

11 三个月以后,我们登上了一艘在马耳他过冬的船出海了。它来自亚力山太城,艏像是双神 [b] 12 我们到了叙拉古,在那里呆了三天。 13 然后,又从那里出发,到了利基翁。一天后刮起了一阵南风。第二天我们来到了部丢利。 14 我们在那儿找到了一些兄弟。他们邀请我们在那里住了七天,然后,就这样,我们来到了罗马。 15 罗马的弟兄们已经听说了我们抵达的消息,便来到远至亚比乌 [c]和三馆 [d]去迎接我们。保罗看到他们时,就感谢上帝,并鼓起了勇气。

保罗在罗马

16 当我们到达罗马时,他们让保罗自己单住,让一个士兵看守他。 17 三天后,保罗把犹太首领们叫到一起,对他们说∶“兄弟们,虽然我没做过反对我们同胞和祖宗的习俗的事情,但在耶路撒冷,我却被做为囚徒交给了罗马人。 18 罗马人审问我之后,因为我没有犯下什么该判死刑的罪,要释放我。 19 可是,犹太人却反对,我便被迫向凯撒起诉,我没有任何控告来起诉我们的民族, 20 这是我请求见你们,与你们谈话的原因,我是因为以色列人的希望才被戴上这枷锁的。”

21 犹太首领们对保罗说∶“我们没有从犹大接到有关你的信。从那里来的兄弟们,也没有一个人说过你的坏话, 22 但是我们想听听你的观点,因为我们知道,这个教派处处受人反驳。”

23 于是,他们与保罗约定了聚会的日子。那天,有许多人来到了他住的地方。保罗从早到晚,向他们讲解并为上帝王国做了见证,并努力用摩西律法和先知著作,来使他们信服关于耶稣的事情。 24 对于他所说的话,有些人信服,而其他人却不信。 25 他说完这话后,这些人之间的意见不一致,他们便开始离开。临走之前,保罗对他们说了这些话:

“圣灵通过先知以赛亚对你们的祖先讲得多好啊。他说:

26 ‘你去告诉这个民族,
你们会听了又听,
但却不会理解:
你们将会看了又看,可却理解不了所看见的。
27 因为这个民族的心已变得如此地迟钝,
他们的耳朵听力有困难,
他们闭上了眼睛,
不然的话,他们的眼睛可以看见,
耳朵可以听见,
心会领悟,
在忏诲中归向我,
我会治愈他们的。’ (A)

28 因此,你们应该知道上帝的这个拯救已被传送给了外族人,他们是会听的!” 29  [e]

30 保罗在用自己的费用所租的房子里住了整整两年。这期间,他热情地接待了所有去看望他的人们。 31 他向人们宣告上帝王国,并教导主耶稣基督的事。他大胆地讲,而且也没有受到过任何阻碍。

28 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

10 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

18 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

19 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
