使 徒 行 傳 6
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
七个人去执行特殊的任务
6 当时,门徒的人数不断地增长着。讲希腊语的犹太人与讲阿拉米语的犹太人之间发生了争执,前者埋怨后者在日常的分配中忽视了他们的寡妇。 2 十二名使徒便把全体门徒召集到一起,对他们说∶“如果我们忽视传播上帝信息的工作,而去伺候膳食,是不对的。 3 所以,兄弟们,从你们中间选出七个以充满圣灵和智慧而有好名声的男子,我们让他们来负责这件事, 4 这样我们就可以专心致志地祷告和教导上帝之道了。”
5 这个建议令所有的人都非常满意。于是,他们选出了司提反(司提反是一个充满信仰和圣灵的人)、腓利 [a]、伯罗歌罗、尼迦挪、提门、巴米拿,和过去改信犹太教的安提阿人尼哥拉。 6 他们让这七个人站到了使徒们面前,使徒们把手放在他们身上 [b],为他们做了祷告。
7 这样,上帝的话得以传播,耶路撒冷门徒的人数又大大地增加了。许多祭司也服从了这个信仰。
一些犹太人反对司提反
8 充满恩赐和力量的司提反,在人们中间行了许多了不起的奇事和神迹。 9 但是,一些来自被称为自由人会堂 [c]的人却反对他。这些犹太人是从古利奈、亚力山太,以及基利家和亚西亚等地来的犹太人。他们和司提反争吵起来。 10 但是,他们无法对抗他话里的智慧和圣灵,他是凭着它们在说话的, 11 于是他们就秘密地收买了一些人去说∶“我们听到司提反亵渎摩西和上帝!” 12 这些犹太人用这种方式煽动起人们、年长的犹太首领和律法师。他们便去抓住司提反,并把他带到了议会面前。 13 他们又带来假证人,他们说∶“这个家伙从末停止过亵渎圣所和律法。 14 因为,我们亲耳听到他说,拿撒勒的耶稣要毁掉这个地方,还要改变摩西传给我们的规矩。 15 这时,所有坐在议会的人都把目光集中到了司提反身上,他们看见,司提反的面容就像天使的脸。

使徒行傳 6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
揀選七人辦理供給之事
6 那時,門徒增多,有說希臘話的猶太人向希伯來人發怨言,因為在天天的供給上忽略了他們的寡婦。 2 十二使徒叫眾門徒來,對他們說:「我們撇下神的道去管理飯食,原是不合宜的。 3 所以弟兄們,當從你們中間選出七個有好名聲、被聖靈充滿、智慧充足的人,我們就派他們管理這事。 4 但我們要專心以祈禱、傳道為事。」 5 大眾都喜悅這話,就揀選了司提反,乃是大有信心、聖靈充滿的人;又揀選腓利、伯羅哥羅、尼迦挪、提門、巴米拿,並進猶太教的安提阿人尼哥拉。 6 叫他們站在使徒面前,使徒禱告了,就按手在他們頭上。
7 神的道興旺起來,在耶路撒冷門徒數目加增的甚多,也有許多祭司信從了這道。
司提反滿得智慧和聖靈的能力
8 司提反滿得恩惠、能力,在民間行了大奇事和神蹟。 9 當時有稱「利百地拿」會堂的幾個人,並有古利奈、亞歷山大、基利家、亞細亞各處會堂的幾個人,都起來和司提反辯論。 10 司提反是以智慧和聖靈說話,眾人抵擋不住。 11 就買出人來說:「我們聽見他說謗讟摩西和神的話。」
被拿到公會
12 他們又聳動了百姓、長老並文士,就忽然來捉拿他,把他帶到公會去, 13 設下假見證說:「這個人說話不住地糟踐聖所和律法。 14 我們曾聽見他說,這拿撒勒人耶穌要毀壞此地,也要改變摩西所交給我們的規條。」 15 在公會裡坐著的人都定睛看他,見他的面貌好像天使的面貌。
Acts 6
New International Version
The Choosing of the Seven
6 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing,(A) the Hellenistic Jews[a](B) among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows(C) were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.(D) 2 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples(E) together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God(F) in order to wait on tables. 3 Brothers and sisters,(G) choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit(H) and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them(I) 4 and will give our attention to prayer(J) and the ministry of the word.”
5 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen,(K) a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit;(L) also Philip,(M) Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed(N) and laid their hands on them.(O)
7 So the word of God spread.(P) The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly,(Q) and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
Stephen Seized
8 Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs(R) among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene(S) and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia(T) and Asia(U)—who began to argue with Stephen. 10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.(V)
11 Then they secretly(W) persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.”(X)
12 So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin.(Y) 13 They produced false witnesses,(Z) who testified, “This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place(AA) and against the law. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place(AB) and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”(AC)
15 All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin(AD) looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
