使徒行传 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
掃羅悔改歸主(A)
9 掃羅仍向主的門徒發恐嚇兇殺的話。他到大祭司那裡， 2 要求他發公函給大馬士革各會堂，如果發現奉行這道的人，准他連男帶女緝拿到耶路撒冷。 3 他快到大馬士革的時候，忽然有光從天上向他四面照射。 4 他仆倒在地，聽見有聲音對他說：“掃羅，掃羅！你為甚麼迫害我？” 5 他說：“主啊，你是誰？”主說：“我就是你所迫害的耶穌。 6 起來，進城去！你應當作的事，一定有人告訴你。” 7 同行的人，聽見聲音，卻看不見人，只是目瞪口呆地站在那裡。 8 掃羅從地上爬起來，睜開眼睛，卻甚麼也看不見。他們牽著他的手，領他進大馬士革。 9 他三天都不能看見甚麼，不吃也不喝。
10 在大馬士革，有一個門徒名叫亞拿尼亞，主在異象中對他說：“亞拿尼亞！”他說：“主啊，我在這裡。” 11 主說：“起來，到那叫直街的路上去，要在猶大家裡找一個大數人，名叫掃羅。你看，他正在禱告， 12 在異象中他看見一個人，名叫亞拿尼亞，進來為他按手，使他可以再看得見。” 13 但亞拿尼亞回答：“主啊，我聽見許多人說起這個人，他在耶路撒冷作了許多苦害你聖徒的事； 14 並且他在這裡得到祭司長的授權，要捆綁所有求告你名的人。” 15 主對他說：“你去吧！這人是我揀選的器皿，為要把我的名傳給外族人、君王和以色列人。 16 我要指示他，為了我的名他必須受許多的苦。” 17 亞拿尼亞就去了，進了那家，為掃羅按手，說：“掃羅弟兄，在你來的路上向你顯現的耶穌，就是主，差我來使你可以看見，又被聖靈充滿。” 18 立刻有鱗狀的東西，從掃羅的眼裡掉下來，他就能看見了。於是起來，受了洗， 19 吃過了飯，就有氣力了。
掃羅在大馬士革傳道
他和大馬士革的門徒一同住了幾天， 20 隨即在各會堂傳講耶穌，說他是 神的兒子。 21 聽見的人都很驚奇，說：“在耶路撒冷殘害求告這名的，不是這個人嗎？他來這裡不是要緝拿他們交給祭司長嗎？” 22 然而掃羅更加有能力，駁倒住在大馬士革的猶太人，證明耶穌是基督。
掃羅逃脫猶太人的謀害
23 過了許多日子，猶太人商議要殺掉掃羅； 24 但他們的計謀給掃羅知道了。他們就在各城門日夜把守，要殺掉他。 25 於是他的門徒就趁夜用大籃子把他從城牆上縋下去。
26 掃羅到了耶路撒冷，想要接近門徒，但大家都怕他，不信他是個門徒。 27 只有巴拿巴接待他，帶他去見使徒，把他怎樣在路上看見主，主向他說話，和他怎樣在大馬士革奉耶穌的名放膽講道，都講了出來。 28 於是掃羅在耶路撒冷和門徒一同出入，奉主的名放膽講道， 29 並且與講希臘話的猶太人談論辯駁，那些人卻想下手殺他。 30 弟兄們知道了，就送他到該撒利亞，差他往大數去。
31 那時猶太、加利利、撒瑪利亞各處的教會，都得到平安，被建立起來，存著敬畏主的心過生活，並且因著聖靈的激勵，人數增多起來。
彼得醫好以尼雅
32 彼得周遊各地的時候，也到了住在呂大的聖徒那裡。 33 他遇見一個人，名叫以尼雅，害了癱瘓病，在床上躺臥了八年。 34 彼得對他說：“以尼雅，耶穌基督醫好你了！起來，收好你的褥子！”他就立刻起來。 35 所有住在呂大和沙崙的人，看見了他就歸向主。
彼得使多加復活
36 在約帕有一個女門徒，名叫戴比莎，希臘話叫多加；她為人樂善好施。 37 那時，她因病死了；有人把她洗淨了，停放在樓上。 38 呂大靠近約帕，門徒聽說彼得在那邊，就派兩個人去求他，說：“請到我們那邊去，不要耽延！” 39 彼得就動身，跟他們一同去。到了之後，他們領他上樓。所有寡婦站在彼得旁邊哭，把多加和她們在一起的時候所做的內衣外衣拿給他看。 40 彼得叫大家出去之後，就跪下來禱告，然後轉過身來對著屍體說：“戴比莎，起來！”她就睜開眼睛，一看見彼得，就坐了起來。 41 彼得伸手扶她起來，叫聖徒們和寡婦都進來，把多加活活地交給他們。 42 這事傳遍了約帕，就有很多人信了主。 43 此後，彼得在約帕一個製皮工人西門的家裡住了許多日子。

Acts 9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Damascus Road
9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing threats and murder against the disciples(A) of the Lord. He went to the high priest(B) 2 and requested letters(C) from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women who belonged to the Way,(D) he might bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As(E) he traveled and was nearing Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 “Who are You, Lord?” he said.
“I am Jesus, the One you are persecuting,” He replied. 6 “But get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.(F) 8 Then Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus. 9 He was unable to see for three days and did not eat or drink.
Saul’s Baptism
10 There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!”
“Here I am, Lord!” he said.(G)
11 “Get up and go to the street called Straight,” the Lord said to him, “to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus(H) named Saul, since he is praying there. 12 In a vision[a] he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him so he can regain his sight.”(I)
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.(J) 14 And he has authority here from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”(K)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go! For this man is My chosen instrument(L) to take My name to Gentiles,(M) kings, and the Israelites.(N) 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for My name!”(O)
17 So Ananias left and entered the house. Then he placed his hands on him and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road you were traveling, has sent me so that you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(P)
18 At once something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he got up and was baptized. 19 And after taking some food, he regained his strength.(Q)
Saul Proclaiming the Messiah
Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for some days. 20 Immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues: “He is the Son of God.”(R)
21 But all who heard him were astounded and said, “Isn’t this the man who, in Jerusalem, was destroying those who called on this name and then came here for the purpose of taking them as prisoners to the chief priests?”(S)
22 But Saul grew more capable and kept confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this One is the Messiah.
23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him, 24 but their plot became known to Saul. So they were watching the gates day and night intending to kill him,(T) 25 but his disciples took him by night and lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the wall.(U)
Saul in Jerusalem
26 When he arrived in Jerusalem,(V) he tried to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple. 27 Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that He had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly(W) in the name of Jesus.(X) 28 Saul was coming and going with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He conversed and debated with the Hellenistic Jews,[b] but they attempted to kill him.(Y) 30 When the brothers found out, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.(Z)
31 So the church(AA) throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, being built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and it increased in numbers.
The Healing of Aeneas
32 As Peter was traveling from place to place,[c] he also came down to the saints(AB) who lived in Lydda.(AC) 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,”[d] and immediately he got up.(AD) 35 So all who lived in Lydda and Sharon(AE) saw him and turned to the Lord.
Dorcas Restored to Life
36 In Joppa(AF) there was a disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas.[e] She was always doing good works(AG) and acts of charity. 37 In those days she became sick and died. After washing her, they placed her in a room upstairs. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him who begged him, “Don’t delay in coming with us.” 39 So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him to the room upstairs. And all the widows approached him, weeping and showing him the robes and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down, prayed, and turning toward the body said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up.(AH) 41 He gave her his hand and helped her stand up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her alive. 42 This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And Peter stayed on many days in Joppa with Simon,(AI) a leather tanner.[f]
Acts 9
Names of God Bible
Saul Becomes a Follower of Jesus
9 Saul kept threatening to murder the Lord’s disciples. He went to the chief priest 2 and asked him to write letters of authorization to the synagogue leaders in the city of Damascus. Saul wanted to arrest any man or woman who followed the way of Christ and imprison them in Jerusalem.
3 As Saul was coming near the city of Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”
5 Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?”
The person replied, “I’m Yeshua, the one you’re persecuting. 6 Get up! Go into the city, and you’ll be told what you should do.”
7 Meanwhile, the men traveling with him were speechless. They heard the voice but didn’t see anyone.
8 Saul was helped up from the ground. When he opened his eyes, he was blind. So his companions led him into Damascus. 9 For three days he couldn’t see and didn’t eat or drink.
10 A disciple named Ananias lived in the city of Damascus. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!”
Ananias answered, “Yes, Lord.”
11 The Lord told him, “Get up! Go to Judas’ house on Straight Street, and ask for a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. He’s praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13 Ananias replied, “Lord, I’ve heard a lot of people tell about the many evil things this man has done to your people in Jerusalem. 14 Saul has come here to Damascus with authority from the chief priests to put anyone who calls on your name in prison.”
15 The Lord told Ananias, “Go! I’ve chosen this man to bring my name to nations, to kings, and to the people of Israel. 16 I’ll show him how much he has to suffer for the sake of my name.”
17 Ananias left and entered Judas’ house. After he placed his hands on Saul, Ananias said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Yeshua, who appeared to you on your way to Damascus, sent me to you. He wants you to see again and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Immediately, something like fish scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. Then Saul stood up and was baptized. 19 After he had something to eat, his strength came back to him.
Saul was with the disciples in the city of Damascus for several days. 20 He immediately began to spread the word in their synagogues that Yeshua was the Son of God. 21 Everyone who heard him was amazed. They asked, “Isn’t this the man who destroyed those who worshiped the one named Yeshua in Jerusalem? Didn’t he come here to take these worshipers as prisoners to the chief priests in Jerusalem?”
22 Saul grew more powerful, and he confused the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Yeshua was the Messiah. 23 Later the Jews planned to murder Saul, 24 but Saul was told about their plot. They were watching the city gates day and night in order to murder him. 25 However, Saul’s disciples lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the wall one night.
26 After Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples. But everyone was afraid of him. They wouldn’t believe that he was a disciple.
27 Then Barnabas took an interest in Saul and brought him to the apostles. Barnabas told the apostles how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him. Barnabas also told them how boldly Saul had spoken about the one named Yeshua in the city of Damascus. 28 Then Saul went throughout Jerusalem with the disciples. He spoke boldly with the power and authority of the Lord.
29 He talked and argued with Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to murder him. 30 As soon as the disciples found out about this, they took Saul to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace. The number of people increased as people lived in the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Peter Heals Aeneas
32 When Peter was going around to all of God’s people, he came to those who lived in the city of Lydda. 33 In Lydda Peter found a man named Aeneas who was paralyzed and confined to a cot for eight years.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Yeshua Christ makes you well. Get up, and pick up your cot.” Aeneas immediately got up.
35 Everyone who lived in the city of Lydda and the coastal region of Sharon saw what had happened to Aeneas and turned to the Lord in faith.
Peter Brings Tabitha Back to Life
36 A disciple named Tabitha lived in the city of Joppa. Her Greek name was Dorcas. She always helped people and gave things to the poor. 37 She became sick and died. Her body was prepared for burial and was laid in an upstairs room.
38 Lydda is near the city of Joppa. When the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him. They begged Peter, “Hurry to Joppa! We need your help!”
39 So Peter went with them. When he arrived, he was taken upstairs. All the widows stood around him. They were crying and showing Peter the articles of clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Peter made everyone leave the room.
He knelt and prayed. Then he turned toward the body and said, “Tabitha, get up!”
Tabitha opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. 41 Peter took her hand and helped her stand up. After he called the believers, especially the widows, he presented Tabitha to them. She was alive.
42 The news about this spread throughout the city of Joppa, and as a result, many people believed in the Lord.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa for a number of days with Simon, a leatherworker.
