使徒行传 28
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
在马耳他岛上受到款待
28 我们获救以后才知道那岛叫做马耳他， 2 那里的土人对我们非常友善。因为当时下着雨，又因为天气冷，他们就生了火接待我们大家。 3 保罗收集了一捆柴火，放在火堆上的时候，有一条毒蛇因热钻了出来，咬住[a]他的手。 4 那些土人一看见那毒蛇悬在他的手上，就彼此说：“这个人一定是个杀人犯！虽然从海里获救了，但天理还是不让他活着。” 5 可是保罗把那毒蛇甩在火里，没有受任何伤害。 6 他们本来以为他快要肿起来，或是突然倒下死去，然而等了很久，看见他没有任何异常，就改变了想法，说他是个神。
在马耳他岛上治病
7 在那个地方附近，有些田产是岛上首领普布利乌的。他欢迎我们，热情地招待了我们三天。 8 当时，普布利乌的父亲患热病和痢疾，躺在床上[b]。保罗就进去为他祷告，按手在他身上，使他痊愈了。 9 这么一来，岛上其他有病的人也都来了，并且都得了痊愈。 10 他们十分尊重我们；开船的时候，还送上所需要的东西。
最终到达罗马
11 过了三个月，我们上了一条亚历山大的船起航。这船是在那海岛过冬的，以“宙斯双子神”为船头雕像。 12 我们在叙拉古靠岸，停留了三天， 13 又从那里绕道航行，到达利基翁。过了一天，刮起了南风，第二天我们就到了普特奥利， 14 在那里找到一些弟兄，受邀请与他们同住了七天。
这样，我们来到了罗马。 15 那里的弟兄们听说了有关我们的事，赶到阿比乌市场和三馆来迎接我们。保罗见到他们，就感谢神，得了勇气。 16 我们进了罗马以后，[c]保罗获准在一个士兵的看守之下，独自居住。
第一次会见罗马的犹太人
17 第三天，保罗[d]请犹太人的首领们来。他们聚集了，保罗就对他们说：“各位兄弟，我没有做过任何反对我们民族或先祖规矩的事，却做为囚犯从耶路撒冷被交到罗马人手中。 18 他们审问我以后，因为没有处死我的任何理由，本来想要释放我。 19 但是由于犹太人反对，我被迫向凯撒上诉，并不是有什么事要控告自己的同胞。 20 因这理由，我请你们来见面谈话。其实我是为了以色列所盼望的事，才被这锁链捆锁的。”
21 他们对保罗说：“我们没有收到从犹太来的有关你的文件。来到这里的同胞[e]中，也没有人报告过或说过任何有关你的坏事。 22 不过我们觉得应该听听你的想法，因为我们确实知道有关这教派的事，它到处遭人反对。”
对保罗传道的反应
23 于是他们和保罗定好了日子，就有更多的人来到他的住所。保罗从早到晚对他们讲解，为神的国郑重地做见证，并且引用摩西的律法和先知书上有关耶稣的事来劝导他们。 24 对他所说的话，有些人信从了，有些人却不相信。
25 他们彼此不一致，开始散去，保罗就说了一句话：“圣灵藉着先知以赛亚对你们[f]祖先所说的是对的。 26 他说：
‘你去告诉这子民：
你们将听了又听，但绝不会领悟；
你们将看了又看，但绝不会明白；
27 因为这子民的心麻木了，
他们充耳不闻，眼睛闭着；
免得他们眼睛看见，耳朵听见，心里领悟，
回转过来，我就使他们痊愈。’[g]
28 所以你们应当知道：神的这救恩已经传给了外邦人，他们反倒会听！” 29 保罗说完这些话，犹太人就走了，彼此议论纷纷。[h]
保罗畅通无阻地传道
30 保罗在自己租的房子里住了整整两年，所有来到他那里的人，他都欢迎。 31 他宣讲神的国、教导有关主耶稣基督的事，满有胆量、没有拦阻。

在马耳他岛
28 我们安全上岸后，才知道那个岛的名字叫马耳他。 2 岛上的居民对我们非常友善。因为下雨，天气又冷，他们就生火接待我们。 3 保罗拿起一捆柴放进火堆里，不料有一条毒蛇经不住热钻了出来，咬住了他的手。 4 那里的居民看见毒蛇吊在保罗手上，就交头接耳地说：“这人一定是个凶手，虽然侥幸没有淹死，天理却不容他活下去。” 5 可是保罗把蛇甩进火里，并没有受伤。 6 他们以为保罗的手一定会肿起来或者他会突然倒毙，但是等了很久，见他还是安然无恙，就改变了态度，说他是个神明。
7 那个岛的首领名叫部百流，他的田产就在附近。他接待我们，热情款待了我们三天。 8 当时，部百流的父亲患痢疾，正发热躺在床上。保罗去为他祷告，把手按在他身上治好了他。 9 这事以后，岛上其他的病人都来了，他们都得了医治。 10 他们处处尊敬我们，在我们启航的时候，又赠送我们途中所需用的物品。
保罗抵达罗马
11 三个月后，我们搭乘一艘停在该岛过冬的船离开。这船叫“双神号”，来自亚历山大。 12 我们先到叙拉古港，在那里停泊三天， 13 然后继续前行，到达利基翁。第二天，起了南风，第三天我们抵达部丢利， 14 在那里遇见几位弟兄姊妹，应邀和他们同住了七天，然后前往罗马。 15 那里的弟兄姊妹听说我们来了，便到亚比乌和三馆迎接我们。保罗见到他们后，就感谢上帝，心中受到鼓励。 16 进了罗马城后，保罗获准在卫兵的看守下自己一个人住。
继续传道
17 三天后，保罗请来当地犹太人的首领，对他们说：“弟兄们，虽然我没有做过任何对不起同胞或违背祖先规矩的事，却在耶路撒冷遭囚禁，又被交到罗马人的手里。 18 罗马官员审讯了我，发现我没有什么该死的罪，想释放我， 19 犹太人却反对，我不得已只好上诉凯撒。我并非有什么事要控告自己的同胞。 20 为此，我才请你们来当面谈，我受捆绑是为了以色列人所盼望的那位。”
21 他们说：“犹太境内的同胞没有给我们写信提及你的事，也没有弟兄到这里说你的坏话。 22 不过，我们倒很想听听你的观点，因为我们知道你们这一派的人到处受人抨击。”
23 于是，他们和保罗约定了会面的日期。那一天，很多人来到保罗住的地方。从早到晚，保罗向他们传扬上帝国的道，引用摩西律法和先知书劝他们相信有关耶稣的事。 24 有些人听后相信了他的话，有些人不相信， 25 他们彼此意见不一。在他们散去之前，保罗说了一句话：“圣灵借以赛亚先知对你们祖先所说的话真是一点不错， 26 祂说，
“‘你去告诉百姓，
你们听了又听，却不明白；
看了又看，却不领悟。
27 因为这百姓心灵麻木，
耳朵发背，眼睛昏花，
以致眼睛看不见，
耳朵听不见，心里不明白，无法回心转意，
得不到我的医治。’
28 所以你们当知道，上帝的救恩已经传给了外族人，他们也必听。”
29 听完保罗的话后，那些犹太人就回去了，他们中间起了激烈的争论。[a]
30 后来，保罗租了一间房子，在那里住了整整两年，接待所有到访的人。 31 他勇敢地传讲上帝的国，教导有关主耶稣基督的事，没有受到任何拦阻。

Acts 28
Modern English Version
Paul in Malta
28 When they had escaped, they learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The natives showed extraordinary kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because of the rain and the cold. 3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper driven out by the heat fastened on his hand. 4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, justice does not allow him to live.” 5 But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They expected him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But while they waited and saw no harm befall him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 In that area was an estate of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who had welcomed us and courteously housed us for three days. 8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with a fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and, placing his hands on him, prayed and healed him. 9 When this happened, the rest on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. 10 They honored us in many ways. And when we sailed, they provided us with necessary supplies.
Paul Arrives in Rome
11 After three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island. 12 Landing at Syracuse, we waited there for three days. 13 From there we circled around and sailed to Rhegium. After one day the south wind blew, and the next day we arrived at Puteoli. 14 There we found brothers, and were invited to remain with them for seven days. And so we went to Rome. 15 From there, when the brothers heard of us, they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius[a] and the Three Taverns[b] to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage. 16 When we arrived at Rome, the centurion handed the prisoners over to the captain of the guard. But Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Paul Preaches in Rome
17 After three days Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. When they had assembled, he said to them, “Brothers, having done nothing contrary to our people or the customs of our fathers, I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. 18 When they had examined me, they were determined to release me, because there was no charge against me deserving death. 19 But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had any charge to bring against my nation. 20 For this reason I have asked to see you and speak with you, because I am bound with this chain for the hope of Israel.”
21 They said to him, “We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of the brothers that have come have reported or spoken any evil of you. 22 But we think it is proper to hear from you what you think. For concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”
23 When they had arranged a day to be with him, many came to him at his residence. From morning until evening he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God to them, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets. 24 Some believed what was said, but some did not believe. 25 Being in disagreement with one another, they were dismissed after Paul had said one word: “The Holy Spirit accurately spoke to our fathers through Isaiah the prophet,
26 ‘Go to this people and say:
You shall certainly hear, but never understand;
and you shall certainly see, but never perceive;
27 for the heart of this people has grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have closed their eyes,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.[c]’
28 “Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles. They will hear it!”
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed and disputed greatly among themselves. 30 Paul remained two whole years in his own rented house. He welcomed all who came to him, 31 boldly and freely preaching the kingdom of God and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 28
King James Version
28 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
