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。

Paul Ashore on Malta
28 Once safely on shore, we(A) found out that the island(B) was called Malta. 2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. 3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand,(C) they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.”(D) 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.(E) 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.(F)
7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. 8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer,(G) placed his hands on him(H) and healed him.(I) 9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. 10 They honored us(J) in many ways; and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
Paul’s Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian ship(K) with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters(L) who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters(M) there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.(N)
Paul Preaches at Rome Under Guard
17 Three days later he called together the local Jewish leaders.(O) When they had assembled, Paul said to them: “My brothers,(P) although I have done nothing against our people(Q) or against the customs of our ancestors,(R) I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. 18 They examined me(S) and wanted to release me,(T) because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.(U) 19 The Jews objected, so I was compelled to make an appeal to Caesar.(V) I certainly did not intend to bring any charge against my own people. 20 For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel(W) that I am bound with this chain.”(X)
21 They replied, “We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of our people(Y) who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you. 22 But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.”(Z)
23 They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God,(AA) and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets(AB) he tried to persuade them about Jesus.(AC) 24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.(AD) 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said(AE) through Isaiah the prophet:
26 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27 For this people’s heart has become calloused;(AF)
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a](AG)
28 “Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation(AH) has been sent to the Gentiles,(AI) and they will listen!” [29] [b]
30 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. 31 He proclaimed the kingdom of God(AJ) and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness(AK) and without hindrance!

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.
Actes 28
La Bible du Semeur
Sur l’île de Malte
28 Une fois hors de danger, nous avons appris que notre île s’appelait Malte. 2 Les habitants, qui ne parlaient pas le grec, nous ont témoigné une bienveillance peu ordinaire. Ils ont allumé un grand feu et nous ont tous accueillis à sa chaleur, car il s’était mis à pleuvoir et il faisait froid.
3 Paul avait ramassé une brassée de bois sec et il allait la jeter dans le feu quand la chaleur en a fait sortir une vipère qui s’est accrochée à sa main. 4 En voyant l’animal suspendu à sa main, les habitants se disaient entre eux : Pas de doute : cet homme est un criminel ! Il a pu échapper à la mer, mais la Justice ne l’a pas laissé vivre !
5 Cependant, Paul avait, d’une secousse, jeté l’animal dans le feu et ne ressentait aucun mal.
6 Tous s’attendaient à le voir enfler ou bien tomber subitement raide mort. Après une longue attente, voyant qu’il ne lui arrivait rien de fâcheux, ils ont changé d’avis et se sont mis à dire : C’est un dieu.
7 Tout près de là se trouvait un domaine appartenant au premier personnage de l’île nommé Publius. Il nous a accueillis très aimablement et nous a offert l’hospitalité pendant trois jours. 8 Or, son père était justement cloué au lit par la fièvre et la dysenterie. Paul s’est rendu à son chevet, a prié en lui imposant les mains, et l’a guéri. 9 Après cela, tous les autres malades de l’île venaient le voir et ils étaient guéris, eux aussi. 10 Cela nous a valu toutes sortes de marques d’honneur et, quand est venu le moment de reprendre la mer, on a pourvu à tous les besoins de notre voyage.
L’arrivée à Rome
11 C’est seulement trois mois plus tard que nous sommes repartis à bord d’un bateau d’Alexandrie, à l’emblème de Castor et Pollux[a], qui avait passé l’hiver dans un port de l’île. 12 Nous avons fait escale pendant trois jours à Syracuse[b]. 13 De là, nous avons longé la côte jusqu’à Reggio. Le lendemain, le vent du sud s’est levé et, en deux jours, nous avons gagné Pouzzoles. 14 Dans cette ville, nous avons trouvé des frères qui nous ont invités à passer une semaine avec eux. Et c’est ainsi que nous sommes allés à Rome. 15 Les frères de cette ville, qui avaient eu de nos nouvelles, sont venus à notre rencontre jusqu’au Forum d’Appius et aux Trois-Tavernes. Quand Paul les a vus, il a remercié Dieu et a pris courage.
16 Après notre arrivée à Rome, Paul fut autorisé à loger dans un appartement personnel, sous la garde d’un soldat.
Paul, témoin de Jésus-Christ à Rome
17 Au bout de trois jours, il invita les chefs des Juifs à le rencontrer. Quand ils furent réunis chez lui, il leur dit : Mes frères, bien que je n’aie rien fait de contraire aux intérêts de notre peuple, ni aux traditions de nos ancêtres, j’ai été arrêté à Jérusalem et livré entre les mains des Romains. 18 Ceux-ci, après enquête, voulaient me relâcher parce qu’ils n’avaient trouvé aucune raison de me condamner à mort. 19 Mais, comme les Juifs s’y opposaient, je me suis vu contraint d’en appeler à l’empereur, sans pour autant vouloir accuser mes compatriotes. 20 Et c’est ce qui explique que je vous aie invités à venir me voir et vous entretenir avec moi : car c’est à cause de l’espérance d’Israël que je porte ces chaînes.
21 Les Juifs lui répondirent : En ce qui nous concerne, nous n’avons reçu aucune lettre de Judée à ton sujet, et aucun de nos frères n’est venu de là-bas pour nous faire un rapport ou pour nous dire du mal de toi. 22 Mais nous pensons devoir t’entendre exposer toi-même ta pensée. Quant à la secte dont tu fais partie, nous savons qu’elle rencontre partout une sérieuse opposition.
23 Ils fixèrent donc un autre rendez-vous et, au jour convenu, revinrent chez lui, encore plus nombreux que la première fois. L’entretien dura du matin jusqu’au soir. Paul leur exposa sa doctrine : il leur annonça le royaume de Dieu et, en s’appuyant sur la Loi de Moïse et les paroles des prophètes, il cherchait à les convaincre au sujet de Jésus. 24 Les uns se laissèrent persuader par ses paroles, mais les autres refusèrent de croire.
25 Au moment de quitter Paul, ils n’étaient toujours pas d’accord entre eux et Paul fit cette réflexion : Elles sont bien vraies ces paroles que le Saint-Esprit a dites à vos ancêtres, par la bouche du prophète Esaïe :
26 Va trouver ce peuple et dis-lui :
Vous aurez beau entendre,
vous ne comprendrez pas.
Vous aurez beau voir de vos propres yeux,
vous ne saisirez pas.
27 Car ce peuple est devenu insensible,
ils ont fait la sourde oreille
et ils se sont bouché les yeux,
de peur qu’ils voient de leurs yeux,
et qu’ils entendent de leurs oreilles,
de peur qu’ils comprennent,
qu’ils reviennent à moi
et que je les guérisse[c] .
28 Et Paul ajouta : Sachez-le donc : désormais ce salut qui vient de Dieu est maintenant apporté aux non-Juifs ; eux, ils écouteront ce message[d].
30 Paul resta deux années entières dans le logement qu’il avait loué. Il y recevait tous ceux qui venaient le voir. 31 Il proclamait le royaume de Dieu et enseignait, avec une pleine assurance et sans aucun empêchement, ce qui concerne le Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
