使徒行传 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
彼得约翰在公议会受审
4 使徒们正对群众讲话的时候，祭司、圣殿的守卫长，和撒都该人来到他们那里。 2 因为使徒教训群众，并且传扬耶稣从死人中复活，他们就非常恼怒， 3 于是下手拿住使徒。那时天已经晚了，就把他们拘留到第二天。 4 然而有许多听道的人信了，男人的数目，约有五千。
5 第二天，犹太人的官长、长老、经学家，都聚集在耶路撒冷， 6 还有大祭司亚那和该亚法、约翰、亚历山大，以及大祭司的家人，所有的人都在那里。 7 他们叫使徒都站在当中，查问说：“你们凭甚么能力，奉谁的名作这事？” 8 当时彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：“民众的领袖和长老啊！ 9 我们今天受审，如果是为了在那残疾人身上所行的善事，就是这个人怎么会好的， 10 那么，你们各位和以色列全民都应当知道，站在你们面前这人好了，是因拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。这位耶稣基督，你们把他钉死在十字架上， 神却使他从死人中复活。 11 这耶稣是你们
‘建筑工人所弃的石头，
成了房角的主要石头。’
12 除了他以外，别无拯救，因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救。”
13 他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量，也知道这两个人是没有学问的平民，就很惊奇；同时认出他们是跟耶稣一伙的， 14 又看见那医好了的人，和他们一同站着，就没有话可辩驳。 15 于是吩咐他们到公议会外面去，彼此商议， 16 说：“对这些人我们应该怎么办呢？因为有一件人所共知的神迹，借着他们行了出来，所有住在耶路撒冷的人都知道，我们也无法否认。 17 为了避免这件事在民间越传越广，我们应该警告他们，不许再奉这名向任何人谈道。” 18 于是叫了他们来，严禁他们再奉耶稣的名讲论教导。 19 彼得和约翰回答：“听从你们过于听从 神，在 神面前对不对，你们自己说吧！ 20 我们看见的听见的，不能不说！” 21 众人因着所发生的事，都颂赞 神，于是公议会为了群众的缘故，也因为找不到借口惩罚他们，就恐吓一番，把他们放了。 22 原来借着神迹医好的那人，有四十多岁了。
信徒同心祈祷
23 彼得和约翰被释放了之后，回到自己的人那里去，把祭司长和长老说的一切，都告诉他们。 24 他们听了，就同心向 神高声说：“主啊，你是那创造天地、海洋和其中万物的主宰。 25 你曾以圣灵借着你仆人我们祖先大卫的口说：
‘列国为甚么骚动？
万民为甚么空谋妄想？
26 地上的君王都起来，
首领聚在一起，
敌对主和他的受膏者。’
27 希律和本丢．彼拉多，外族人和以色列民，真的在这城里聚集，反对你所膏立的圣仆耶稣， 28 行了你手和你旨意所预定要成就的一切。 29 主啊，他们恐吓我们，现在求你鉴察，也赐你仆人们大有胆量，传讲你的道。 30 求你伸手医治，借着你圣仆耶稣的名，大行神迹奇事。” 31 他们祷告完了，聚会的地方震动起来，他们都被圣灵充满，放胆传讲 神的道。
信徒凡物公用
32 全体信徒一心一意，没有一个人说自己的财物是自己的，他们凡物公用。 33 使徒大有能力，为主耶稣的复活作见证，众人都蒙了大恩。 34 他们中间没有一个有缺乏的，因为凡有田产房屋的都卖了，把得到的钱拿来， 35 放在使徒脚前，照着各人的需要来分配。 36 有一个人名叫约瑟，使徒称他为巴拿巴，就是“安慰者”的意思，他是个利未人，生在塞浦路斯。 37 他卖掉了自己的田地，把钱拿来，放在使徒的脚前。
使徒行傳 4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
彼得約翰被拿
4 使徒對百姓說話的時候，祭司們和守殿官並撒都該人忽然來了。 2 因他們教訓百姓，本著耶穌傳說死人復活，就很煩惱， 3 於是下手拿住他們。因為天已經晚了，就把他們押到第二天。 4 但聽道之人有許多信的，男丁數目約到五千。
到公會前被審
5 第二天，官府、長老和文士在耶路撒冷聚會， 6 又有大祭司亞那和該亞法、約翰、亞歷山大，並大祭司的親族都在那裡， 7 叫使徒站在當中，就問他們說：「你們用什麼能力，奉誰的名做這事呢？」 8 那時彼得被聖靈充滿，對他們說： 9 「治民的官府和長老啊，倘若今日因為在殘疾人身上所行的善事，查問我們他是怎麼得了痊癒， 10 你們眾人和以色列百姓都當知道：站在你們面前的這人得痊癒，是因你們所釘十字架、神叫他從死裡復活的拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名。
除了耶穌別無拯救
11 「他是『你們匠人所棄的石頭，已成了房角的頭塊石頭』。 12 除他以外，別無拯救，因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名我們可以靠著得救。」
恐嚇而放
13 他們見彼得、約翰的膽量，又看出他們原是沒有學問的小民，就稀奇，認明他們是跟過耶穌的。 14 又看見那治好了的人和他們一同站著，就無話可駁。 15 於是吩咐他們從公會出去，就彼此商議說： 16 「我們當怎樣辦這兩個人呢？因為他們誠然行了一件明顯的神蹟，凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道，我們也不能說沒有。 17 唯恐這事越發傳揚在民間，我們必須恐嚇他們，叫他們不再奉這名對人講論。」 18 於是叫了他們來，禁止他們總不可奉耶穌的名講論、教訓人。 19 彼得、約翰說：「聽從你們不聽從神，這在神面前合理不合理，你們自己酌量吧！ 20 我們所看見、所聽見的，不能不說。」 21 官長為百姓的緣故，想不出法子刑罰他們，又恐嚇一番，把他們釋放了。這是因眾人為所行的奇事都歸榮耀於神。 22 原來藉著神蹟醫好的那人有四十多歲了。
門徒同心禱告讚美
23 二人既被釋放，就到會友那裡去，把祭司長和長老所說的話都告訴他們。 24 他們聽見了，就同心合意地高聲向神說：「主啊，你是造天、地、海和其中萬物的！ 25 你曾藉著聖靈，託你僕人——我們祖宗大衛的口說：『外邦為什麼爭鬧？萬民為什麼謀算虛妄的事？ 26 世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰也聚集，要抵擋主並主的受膏者[a]。』 27 希律和本丟‧彼拉多，外邦人和以色列民，果然在這城裡聚集，要攻打你所膏的聖僕[b]耶穌， 28 成就你手和你意旨所預定必有的事。 29 他們恐嚇我們，現在求主鑒察，一面叫你僕人大放膽量講你的道， 30 一面伸出你的手來醫治疾病，並且使神蹟奇事因著你聖僕[c]耶穌的名行出來。」 31 禱告完了，聚會的地方震動，他們就都被聖靈充滿，放膽講論神的道。
信徒財物不分彼此
32 那許多信的人都是一心一意的，沒有一人說他的東西有一樣是自己的，都是大家公用。 33 使徒大有能力，見證主耶穌復活，眾人也都蒙大恩。 34 內中也沒有一個缺乏的，因為人人將田產房屋都賣了，把所賣的價銀拿來， 35 放在使徒腳前，照各人所需用的分給各人。
巴拿巴賣產捐銀
36 有一個利未人，生在塞浦路斯，名叫約瑟，使徒稱他為巴拿巴（「巴拿巴」翻出來就是「勸慰子」）。 37 他有田地，也賣了，把價銀拿來放在使徒腳前。
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.
Acts 4
New King James Version
Peter and John Arrested
4 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the (A)Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Addressing the Sanhedrin
5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as (B)Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, (C)“By what power or by what name have you done this?”
8 (D)Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, (E)that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, (F)whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the (G)‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 (H)Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
The Name of Jesus Forbidden
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, (I)and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed (J)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, (K)“What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a [a]notable miracle has been done through them is (L)evident[b] to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
18 (M)So 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 to them, (N)“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 (O)For we cannot but speak the things which (P)we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, (Q)because of the people, since they all (R)glorified God for (S)what had been done. 22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
Prayer for Boldness(T)
23 And being let go, (U)they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, (V)You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who [c]by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
(W)‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’
27 “For (X)truly against (Y)Your holy Servant Jesus, (Z)whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 (AA)to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants (AB)that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, (AC)and that signs and wonders may be done (AD)through the name of (AE)Your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 And when they had prayed, (AF)the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, (AG)and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Sharing in All Things
32 Now the multitude of those who believed (AH)were of one heart and one soul; (AI)neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with (AJ)great power the apostles gave (AK)witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And (AL)great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; (AM)for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 (AN)and laid them at the apostles’ feet; (AO)and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And [d]Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of [e]Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 (AP)having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
