使徒行传 28
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
土人的接待
28 我们既已得救，才知道那岛名叫马耳他。 2 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。 3 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。 4 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。” 5 保罗竟把那毒蛇甩在火里，并没有受伤。 6 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
7 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。 8 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。 9 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，保罗请犹太人的首领来。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。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
在馬爾他島
28 我們安全上岸後，才知道那個島的名字叫馬爾他。 2 島上的居民對我們非常友善。因為下雨，天氣又冷，他們就生火接待我們。 3 保羅拿起一捆柴放進火堆裡，不料有一條毒蛇經不住熱鑽了出來，咬住了他的手。 4 那裡的居民看見毒蛇吊在保羅手上，就交頭接耳地說：「這人一定是個兇手，雖然僥倖沒有淹死，天理卻不容他活下去。」 5 可是保羅把蛇甩進火裡，並沒有受傷。 6 他們以為保羅的手一定會腫起來或者他會突然倒斃，但是等了很久，見他還是安然無恙，就改變了態度，說他是個神明。
7 那個島的首領名叫部百流，他的田產就在附近。他接待我們，熱情款待了我們三天。 8 當時，部百流的父親患痢疾，正發熱躺在床上。保羅去為他禱告，把手按在他身上治好了他。 9 這事以後，島上其他的病人都來了，他們都得了醫治。 10 他們處處尊敬我們，在我們啟航的時候，又贈送我們途中所需用的物品。
保羅抵達羅馬
11 三個月後，我們搭乘一艘停在該島過冬的船離開。這船叫「雙神號」，來自亞歷山大。 12 我們先到敘拉古港，在那裡停泊三天， 13 然後繼續前行，到達利基翁。第二天，起了南風，第三天我們抵達部丟利， 14 在那裡遇見幾位弟兄姊妹，應邀和他們同住了七天，然後前往羅馬。 15 那裡的弟兄姊妹聽說我們來了，便到亞比烏和三館迎接我們。保羅見到他們後，就感謝上帝，心中受到鼓勵。 16 進了羅馬城後，保羅獲准在衛兵的看守下自己一個人住。
繼續傳道
17 三天後，保羅請來當地猶太人的首領，對他們說：「弟兄們，雖然我沒有做過任何對不起同胞或違背祖先規矩的事，卻在耶路撒冷遭囚禁，又被交到羅馬人的手裡。 18 羅馬官員審訊了我，發現我沒有什麼該死的罪，想釋放我， 19 猶太人卻反對，我不得已只好上訴凱撒。我並非有什麼事要控告自己的同胞。 20 為此，我才請你們來當面談，我受捆綁是為了以色列人所盼望的那位。」
21 他們說：「猶太境內的同胞沒有給我們寫信提及你的事，也沒有弟兄到這裡說你的壞話。 22 不過，我們倒很想聽聽你的觀點，因為我們知道你們這一派的人到處受人抨擊。」
23 於是，他們和保羅約定了會面的日期。那一天，很多人來到保羅住的地方。從早到晚，保羅向他們傳揚上帝國的道，引用摩西律法和先知書勸他們相信有關耶穌的事。 24 有些人聽後相信了他的話，有些人不相信， 25 他們彼此意見不一。在他們散去之前，保羅說了一句話：「聖靈藉以賽亞先知對你們祖先所說的話真是一點不錯， 26 祂說，
『你去告訴百姓，
你們聽了又聽，卻不明白；
看了又看，卻不領悟。
27 因為這百姓心靈麻木，
耳朵發背，眼睛昏花，
以致眼睛看不見，
耳朵聽不見，心裡不明白，無法回心轉意，
得不到我的醫治。』
28 所以你們當知道，上帝的救恩已經傳給了外族人，他們也必聽。」
29 聽完保羅的話後，那些猶太人就回去了，他們中間起了激烈的爭論。[a]
30 後來，保羅租了一間房子，在那裡住了整整兩年，接待所有到訪的人。 31 他勇敢地傳講上帝的國，教導有關主耶穌基督的事，沒有受到任何攔阻。

Acts 28
The Message
28 1-2 Once everyone was accounted for and we realized we had all made it, we learned that we were on the island of Malta. The natives went out of their way to be friendly to us. The day was rainy and cold and we were already soaked to the bone, but they built a huge bonfire and gathered us around it.
3-6 Paul pitched in and helped. He had gathered up a bundle of sticks, but when he put it on the fire, a venomous snake, roused from its sleepiness by the heat, struck his hand and held on. Seeing the snake hanging from Paul’s hand like that, the natives jumped to the conclusion that he was a murderer getting what he deserved. Paul shook the snake off into the fire like it was nothing. They kept expecting him to drop dead, but when it was obvious he wasn’t going to, they jumped to the conclusion that he was a god!
7-9 The head man in that part of the island was Publius. He took us into his home as his guests, drying us out and putting us up in fine style for the next three days. Publius’s father was sick at the time, down with a high fever and dysentery. Paul went to the old man’s room, and when he laid hands on him and prayed, the man was healed. Word of the healing got around fast, and soon everyone on the island who was sick came and got healed.
Rome
10-11 We spent a wonderful three months on Malta. They treated us royally, took care of all our needs and outfitted us for the rest of the journey. When an Egyptian ship that had wintered there in the harbor prepared to leave for Italy, we got on board. The ship had a carved Gemini for its figurehead: “the Heavenly Twins.”
12-14 We put in at Syracuse for three days and then went up the coast to Rhegium. Two days later, with the wind out of the south, we sailed into the Bay of Naples. We found Christian friends there and stayed with them for a week.
14-16 And then we came to Rome. Friends in Rome heard we were on the way and came out to meet us. One group got as far as Appian Court; another group met us at Three Taverns—emotion-packed meetings, as you can well imagine. Paul, brimming over with praise, led us in prayers of thanksgiving. When we actually entered Rome, they let Paul live in his own private quarters with a soldier who had been assigned to guard him.
17-20 Three days later, Paul called the Jewish leaders together for a meeting at his house. He said, “The Jews in Jerusalem arrested me on trumped-up charges, and I was taken into custody by the Romans. I assure you that I did absolutely nothing against Jewish laws or Jewish customs. After the Romans investigated the charges and found there was nothing to them, they wanted to set me free, but the Jews objected so fiercely that I was forced to appeal to Caesar. I did this not to accuse them of any wrongdoing or to get our people in trouble with Rome. We’ve had enough trouble through the years that way. I did it for Israel. I asked you to come and listen to me today to make it clear that I’m on Israel’s side, not against her. I’m a hostage here for hope, not doom.”
21-22 They said, “Nobody wrote warning us about you. And no one has shown up saying anything bad about you. But we would like very much to hear more. The only thing we know about this Christian sect is that nobody seems to have anything good to say about it.”
23 They agreed on a time. When the day arrived, they came back to his home with a number of their friends. Paul talked to them all day, from morning to evening, explaining everything involved in the kingdom of God, and trying to persuade them all about Jesus by pointing out what Moses and the prophets had written about him.
24-27 Some of them were persuaded by what he said, but others refused to believe a word of it. When the unbelievers got cantankerous and started bickering with each other, Paul interrupted: “I have just one more thing to say to you. The Holy Spirit sure knew what he was talking about when he addressed our ancestors through Isaiah the prophet:
Go to this people and tell them this:
“You’re going to listen with your ears,
but you won’t hear a word;
You’re going to stare with your eyes,
but you won’t see a thing.
These people are blockheads!
They stick their fingers in their ears
so they won’t have to listen;
They screw their eyes shut
so they won’t have to look,
so they won’t have to deal with me face-to-face
and let me heal them.”
28 “You’ve had your chance. The non-Jewish outsiders are next on the list. And believe me, they’re going to receive it with open arms!”
30-31 Paul lived for two years in his rented house. He welcomed everyone who came to visit. He urgently presented all matters of the kingdom of God. He explained everything about Jesus Christ. His door was always open.
