使徒行传 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
彼得与约翰被捕
4 彼得和约翰正向民众讲话的时候，祭司们、圣殿守卫长[a]和撒都该人忽然来了。 2 这些人非常恼怒，因为使徒们教导民众，藉着耶稣传讲从死人中复活的事。 3 于是他们下手捉拿了彼得和约翰。因为天已经晚了，就把他们关在监里，直到第二天。 4 然而听了这话语的人中，有许多人相信了；男人的数目约有五千。
在犹太领袖面前受审
5 到了第二天，犹太人的[b]首领、长老和经文士们都聚集在耶路撒冷。 6 大祭司亚纳、该亚法、约翰、亚历山大，以及大祭司家族的人都在那里。 7 他们叫彼得和约翰站在中间，质问他们，说：“你们凭着什么能力，以谁的名做这事？”
8 那时，彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：“民众的首领和[c]长老们， 9 如果我们今天因在一个残疾人身上所行的善事，被查问这个人怎样得到救治， 10 那么，你们大家和所有以色列子民应当知道：这个人健全地站在你们面前，是藉着拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。这位耶稣基督，你们把他钉上十字架，但是神使他从死人中复活了！ 11 这一位就是
‘被你们工匠所藐视的石头，
它已经成了房角的头块石头。’[d]
12 除他[e]以外，没有救恩[f]；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们必须靠着得救。”
传讲主名被禁止
13 他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量，又了解他们是没有学问的普通人，就感到惊奇，并且了解他们是曾经与耶稣在一起的； 14 又看见那得了痊愈的人和他们一同站着，就无话可说了， 15 于是命令他们到议会外面去，就彼此商议， 16 说：“我们该怎么处理这些人呢？藉着他们，确实发生了一个明显的神迹，所有住在耶路撒冷的人都清清楚楚；我们也不能否认。 17 不过为了避免这事在民间传扬更广，让我们威吓他们[g]，不可再奉耶稣的名[h]对任何人讲话。” 18 于是把他们叫来，吩咐他们绝对不可奉耶稣的名讲说或教导人。
19 可是彼得和约翰回答说：“听从你们过于听从神，在神面前是理所当然的吗？你们自己判断吧！ 20 要知道，我们所看见所听见的，我们不能不说。”
21 官长们又威吓他们一番，为了民众的缘故把他们释放了。官长们找不出任何理由来惩罚他们，因为众人都为所发生的事不住地荣耀神。 22 实际上，因神迹而痊愈的那个人已经四十多岁了。
祈求主赐胆量
23 彼得和约翰被释放了，就回到自己的人那里，把祭司长们和长老们所说的话都告诉他们。 24 他们听了，就同心合意地高声向神说：“主啊，你是造了天、地、海和其中万有的那一位[i]。 25 你曾经藉着圣灵[j]，用你的仆人——我们先祖[k]大卫的口说：
‘列国为什么狂怒骚乱，
众民为什么图谋虚空？
26 地上的众君王都起来，
首领们也聚集在一起，
抵挡主和他的基督。’[l]
27 “事实上，希律和本丢彼拉多，与外邦人和以色列子民果然在这城里[m]一同聚集，对付你所膏立的圣仆耶稣， 28 做成了你手和你计划所预定要成就的一切事。 29 主啊，现在求你鉴察[n]他们的威吓，使[o]你的奴仆们能满有胆量地传讲你的话语。 30 求你伸出你的手，藉着你圣仆耶稣的名，使疾病痊愈，施行神迹和奇事。” 31 他们祷告完了，聚集的地方就被震动，大家都被圣灵充满，就坦然无惧地传讲神的话语[p]。
凡物共有
32 于是那一群信徒都同心合意，没有一个人说他所拥有的哪样东西是自己的；相反，他们凡物共有。 33 使徒们大有能力地为主耶稣的复活做见证，并且在他们每个人身上都有极大的恩典。 34 他们当中没有一个缺乏的人，因为凡是拥有田产或房屋的人，都卖掉了那些东西，把所卖得的钱拿来， 35 放在使徒们的脚前，按照各人的需要分给每个人。
36 有一个出生在塞浦路斯的利未人约瑟，使徒们称他为巴拿巴——“巴拿巴”翻译出来就是“安慰之子”； 37 他有一块田地，也卖掉了，把钱拿来放在使徒们的脚前。

Acts 4
New Living Translation
Peter and John before the Council
4 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees. 2 These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a resurrection of the dead. 3 They arrested them and, since it was already evening, put them in jail until morning. 4 But many of the people who heard their message believed it, so the number of men who believed now totaled about 5,000.
5 The next day the council of all the rulers and elders and teachers of religious law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, along with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and other relatives of the high priest. 7 They brought in the two disciples and demanded, “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people, 9 are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? 10 Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,[a] the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,
‘The stone that you builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.’[b]
12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
13 The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there among them, there was nothing the council could say. 15 So they ordered Peter and John out of the council chamber[c] and conferred among themselves.
16 “What should we do with these men?” they asked each other. “We can’t deny that they have performed a miraculous sign, and everybody in Jerusalem knows about it. 17 But to keep them from spreading their propaganda any further, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in Jesus’ name again.” 18 So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? 20 We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”
21 The council then threatened them further, but they finally let them go because they didn’t know how to punish them without starting a riot. For everyone was praising God 22 for this miraculous sign—the healing of a man who had been lame for more than forty years.
The Believers Pray for Courage
23 As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. 24 When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: “O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— 25 you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying,
‘Why were the nations so angry?
Why did they waste their time with futile plans?
26 The kings of the earth prepared for battle;
the rulers gathered together
against the Lord
and against his Messiah.’[d]
27 “In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed. 28 But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. 29 And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
31 After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.
The Believers Share Their Possessions
32 All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.
36 For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus. 37 He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles.

Si Pedro at si Juan sa Harap ng Sanhedrin
4 Nagsasalita pa sina Pedro at Juan[a] sa taong-bayan nang lumapit sa kanila ang mga pari, ang pinuno ng mga bantay sa templo, at ang mga Saduceo. 2 Labis ang galit ng mga ito sapagkat nagtuturo sila sa mga tao, at nagpapahayag na si Jesus ay muling nabuhay, na siyang katibayan ng muling pagkabuhay ng mga patay. 3 Kaya dinakip nila ang dalawa at ikinulong hanggang kinaumagahan sapagkat gabi na noon. 4 Gayunma'y marami sa mga nakarinig sa kanilang ipinangaral ang sumampalataya; at umabot ang bilang nila sa may limang libong lalaki. 5 Kinabukasan, nagtipon sa Jerusalem ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio, ang mga matatandang namamahala sa bayan at ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan.
6 Kabilang doon si Anas, na Kataas-taasang Pari, si Caifas, si Juan, si Alejandro, at ang buong angkan ng Kataas-taasang Pari. 7 Pinatayo nila sa gitna sina Pedro at Juan, at tinanong, “Sa anong kapangyarihan, o kaninong pangalan ninyo ginagawa ito?” 8 Kaya sumagot si Pedro na puspos ng Banal na Espiritu, “Mga pinuno at matatandang namamahala sa bayan, 9 kung sinisiyasat ninyo kami ngayon dahil sa kabutihang ginawa namin sa isang taong may kapansanan, at tinatanong ninyo kung paano siya napagaling, 10 dapat malaman ninyong lahat at ng buong sambayanang Israel, na nakatayo ang taong ito sa inyong harapan nang walang sakit sa pamamagitan ng pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo na taga-Nazareth, na inyong ipinako sa krus ngunit ibinangon ng Diyos mula sa kamatayan. 11 Siya,
‘ang (A) batong itinakwil ninyong mga tagapagtayo ng bahay
ang siyang naging batong panulukan.’
12 Sa iba ay walang kaligtasan, sapagkat walang ibang pangalan sa ilalim ng langit na ibinigay ng Diyos sa mga tao na sa ati'y makapagliligtas.” 13 Namangha sila nang makita nila ang katapangan nina Pedro at Juan, lalo na nang malamang sila'y mga taong walang pinag-aralan at mga karaniwang tao lamang. Nabatid nilang sila'y nakasama ni Jesus. 14 At dahil nakikita nila ang taong pinagaling na nakatayong kasama ng mga apostol ay wala silang masabing laban sa mga ito. 15 Kaya't pinalabas muna ng Sanhedrin ang dalawa bago sila nagpulong. 16 “Ano'ng gagawin natin sa mga taong ito?” tanong nila. “Alam na ng buong Jerusalem ang pambihirang himalang nangyari sa pamamagitan nila. Hindi na natin ito maikakaila. 17 Ngunit upang huwag nang lalo pa itong kumalat sa bayan, pagbawalan natin silang magsalita pa kaninuman tungkol sa pangalang ito.” 18 Kaya't ipinatawag nila ang dalawa at inutusang kailanma'y huwag nang magsalita ni magturo sa pangalan ni Jesus. 19 Subalit sumagot sa kanila si Pedro at si Juan, “Kayo na ang humatol kung matuwid sa paningin ng Diyos na kayo ang aming sundin sa halip na ang Diyos. 20 Sapagkat hindi maaaring hindi namin sabihin ang aming nakita at narinig.” 21 Pagkatapos mahigpit na pagbantaan, pinakawalan nila ang dalawa. Wala silang makitang anumang dahilan upang parusahan sila sapagkat nagpupuri sa Diyos ang buong bayan dahil sa nangyari. 22 Mahigit apatnapung taong gulang na ang lalaking pinagaling sa pamamagitan ng himalang ito.
Ang Panalangin para sa Katapangan
23 Pagkatapos na sila'y mapalaya, pumunta sila sa kanilang mga kasamahan at ibinalita ang lahat ng sinabi sa kanila ng mga punong pari at ng matatandang tagapamahala ng bayan. 24 Nang (B) marinig nila ito, sama-sama silang tumawag sa Diyos, “Panginoon, ikaw na lumikha ng langit, ng lupa, ng dagat, at ng lahat ng naroroon, 25 ikaw (C) na nagsalita sa pamamagitan ng aming ninunong si David na iyong lingkod,[b] nang ipahayag niya sa patnubay ng Banal na Espiritu,
‘Bakit nagalit ang mga bansa,
at nagbalak ang mga bayan ng mga walang kabuluhan?
26 Naghanda ang mga hari sa lupa upang lumaban,
at ang mga pinuno ay nagtipon laban sa Panginoon,
at laban sa kanyang Hinirang.’
27 Sapagkat (D) totoo ngang sa lungsod na ito nagkaisa sina Herodes at Poncio Pilato, kasama ng mga Hentil at ng mga mamamayan ng Israel laban sa iyong Banal na Lingkod[c] na si Jesus, na iyong hinirang. 28 Nagkaisa sila upang gawin ang itinakda ng iyong kamay at ng iyong kalooban na mangyayari. 29 At ngayon, Panginoon, tingnan mo po kung paano nila kami pinagbabantaan. Ipagkaloob mo po sa iyong mga alipin ang buong katapangan upang ipahayag ang iyong salita. 30 Iunat mo po ang iyong kamay upang magpagaling at gumawa ng mga tanda at mga kababalaghan sa pamamagitan ng pangalan ng iyong Banal na Lingkod na si Jesus.” 31 Pagkatapos nilang manalangin, nayanig ang lugar na kanilang pinagtitipunan; napuspos silang lahat ng Banal na Espiritu at buong tapang nilang ipinahayag ang salita ng Diyos.
Ang Pagtutulungan ng mga Mananampalataya
32 Lahat ng mga mananampalataya ay nagkakaisa sa puso at kaluluwa. (E) Hindi sinarili ng sinuman ang kanyang mga ari-arian, kundi lahat ng mga bagay ay kanilang pinagsasaluhan. 33 Taglay ang dakilang kapangyarihan, nagpatotoo ang mga apostol tungkol sa muling pagkabuhay ng Panginoong Jesus. At sumakanilang lahat ang dakilang pagpapala ng Diyos. 34 Walang sinumang naghihikahos sa kanila sapagkat ipinagbibili ng lahat ang kanilang mga lupa at mga bahay at ipinapaubaya ang pinagbilhan ng mga ito 35 sa pamamahala ng mga apostol at ipinamamahagi naman iyon ayon sa pangangailangan ng bawat isa. 36 Ganoon nga ang ginawa ni Jose, isang Levitang taga-Cyprus. Bernabe ang tawag sa kanya ng mga apostol, na ang kahulugan ay “anak ng pagpapalakas-loob”. 37 Ipinagbili niya ang isang bukid na kanyang pag-aari, at ipinaubaya niya ang salapi sa pamamahala ng mga apostol.

Acts 4
King James Version
4 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
