使徒行传 9
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
大马士革路上
9 扫罗仍然向主的门徒们口吐凶杀威吓的话。他来到大祭司面前, 2 求他发一些信函给大马士革各会堂,准许扫罗如果发现什么人属于这道[a],无论男女,都捆绑起来,带到耶路撒冷。 3 当扫罗赶路,快到大马士革的时候,忽然有光从天上下来,四面照射他。 4 他仆倒在地上,听见有声音对他说:“扫罗,扫罗!你为什么逼迫我?”
5 他问:“主啊,你到底是谁?”
主说:“我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。[b] 6 [c]你起来,进城去!有人会告诉你应该做什么。”
7 与扫罗同行的人都站着,哑口无言,他们虽然听见声音,却看不见任何人。 8 扫罗从地上爬起来,睁开眼睛,却什么也看不见。他们牵着他的手,把他带进大马士革。 9 他三天不能看见,不吃也不喝。
扫罗受洗
10 在大马士革有一个名叫阿纳尼亚的门徒。主在异象中对他说:“阿纳尼亚!”
他回答说:“主啊!看哪,我在这里。”
11 主就对他说:“起来,往那叫做‘直’的街上去,在犹大家里找一个名叫扫罗的塔尔苏人。看哪,原来他正在祷告。 12 他在异象中[d]看见了一个名叫阿纳尼亚的人,进来按手在他身上,使他重见光明。”
13 阿纳尼亚却回答:“主啊,我听许多人说过有关这个人在耶路撒冷对你的圣徒们所做的种种恶事。 14 并且,他得到祭司长们的授权来到这里,要捆绑所有求告你名的人。”
15 但是主对他说:“你去吧!因为这个人是我所拣选的器皿,不但要在外邦人和君王面前,还要在以色列子民面前宣扬[e]我的名。 16 我要指示他,为了我的名他必须受多大的苦害。”
17 阿纳尼亚就去了。他进了那家,按手在扫罗身上,说:“扫罗弟兄,在你来的路上向你显现的主耶稣差派我来,使你重见光明,并且被圣灵充满。”
18 立刻有像鳞片一样的东西从扫罗的眼睛上掉了下来,他就重见光明了。于是他起来受了洗; 19 吃过饭,体力就恢复了。
扫罗传讲基督
扫罗与在大马士革的门徒们住了几天, 20 就立刻在各会堂里传讲耶稣[f],说这一位就是神的儿子。
21 所有听见的人都十分惊讶,说:“这不就是那个在耶路撒冷残害了那些求告这名的人吗?而且他来到这里,不就是为要捆绑他们,带到祭司长们那里吗?”
22 扫罗反而更加得以刚强,证明这一位就是基督,使住在大马士革的犹太人很狼狈。
23 过了许多日子以后,犹太人商议要杀了扫罗, 24 但他们的阴谋却被扫罗知道了。于是他们就日夜严守着各城门,要杀掉他。 25 然而他的门徒们趁夜把他带去,用筐子把他从城墙上缒了下去。
扫罗在耶路撒冷
26 扫罗来到耶路撒冷,想要和门徒们交往,可是大家都怕他,不相信他成了门徒。 27 但是巴拿巴接纳他,把他带到使徒们那里,并且告诉他们扫罗怎样在路上见到主,主怎样对他说了话,以及他怎样在大马士革奉耶稣的名放胆传道。 28 于是扫罗在耶路撒冷与他们一起出入,奉主[g]的名放胆传道。 29 他对那些说希腊语的犹太人讲道,与他们辩论;他们却图谋要杀了他。 30 弟兄们知道了这事,就带他下到凯撒里亚,然后送他往塔尔苏去。
31 这样,教会在犹太、加利利、撒马利亚全地得平安、得造就,并且怀着对主的敬畏之心不断地前行,在圣灵的安慰[h]中不断地增长。
艾尼亚痊愈
32 有一次,彼得走遍各地的时候,也下到住在利达的圣徒们那里。 33 在那里,他遇见了一个名叫艾尼亚的人。他是个瘫痪的人,躺在垫子上八年了。 34 彼得对他说:“艾尼亚,耶稣基督使你痊愈。站起来,为你自己整理垫子吧!”艾尼亚立刻就站起来了。 35 于是所有住在利达和沙仑的人看到他,就归向了主。
塔比莎复活
36 在约帕有一个女门徒,名叫塔比莎——“塔比莎”翻译出来意思是“羚羊[i]”。她尽做美善工作,常行施舍。 37 就在那些日子里,她患病死了。人们清洗了遗体,就放在楼上的房间。 38 利达离约帕不远,门徒们听说彼得在利达,就派了两个人到他那里,恳求他说:“请你来到我们这里,不要耽延!” 39 彼得就起身陪他们一起去。到了以后,他们把他领到楼上的房间。所有的寡妇都站在彼得旁边哭,把多卡丝与她们在一起的时候所缝制的衣服和袍子拿给他看。 40 彼得叫大家都出去,然后跪下祷告,接着转过身对着遗体,说:“塔比莎,你起来!”那妇人就睁开眼睛,看见彼得,而且坐了起来。 41 彼得伸手扶她站起来,又叫圣徒们和寡妇们进来,把活过来的多卡丝交给他们。 42 这事传遍了整个约帕,许多人就信了主。 43 后来,彼得在约帕的一个硝皮匠西门家里住了许多日子。
Apostelgeschichte 9
Hoffnung für Alle
Saulus wird von Jesus zum Apostel berufen (Kapitel 9)
Saulus begegnet Christus
9 Saulus verfolgte noch immer voller Hass alle, die an den Herrn glaubten, und drohte ihnen an, sie hinrichten zu lassen. Er ging zum Hohenpriester 2 und ließ sich von ihm Empfehlungsschreiben für die jüdische Gemeinde in Damaskus mitgeben. Sie ermächtigten ihn, auch dort die Anhänger der neuen Lehre aufzuspüren und sie – ganz gleich ob Männer oder Frauen – als Gefangene nach Jerusalem zu bringen.
3 Auf seiner Reise nach Damaskus, kurz vor der Stadt, umgab Saulus plötzlich ein blendendes Licht vom Himmel. 4 Er stürzte zu Boden und hörte eine Stimme: »Saul, Saul, warum verfolgst du mich?« 5 »Wer bist du, Herr?«, fragte Saulus. »Ich bin Jesus, den du verfolgst!«, antwortete die Stimme. 6 »Steh auf und geh in die Stadt. Dort wird man dir sagen, was du tun sollst.« 7 Die Begleiter von Saulus standen sprachlos da, denn sie hatten zwar die Stimme gehört, aber niemanden gesehen. 8 Als Saulus aufstand und die Augen öffnete, konnte er nicht mehr sehen. Da nahmen sie ihn an der Hand und führten ihn nach Damaskus. 9 Drei Tage lang war er blind und wollte weder essen noch trinken.
10 In Damaskus wohnte ein Jünger von Jesus, der Hananias hieß. Dem erschien der Herr in einer Vision. »Hananias«, sagte er zu ihm. »Ja, Herr, hier bin ich«, erwiderte der Mann. 11 Der Herr forderte ihn auf: »Geh zur Geraden Straße in das Haus von Judas und frag dort nach einem Saulus aus Tarsus. Er betet gerade 12 und hat in einer Vision einen Mann gesehen, der Hananias heißt. Dieser kam zu ihm und legte ihm die Hände auf, damit er wieder sehen kann.« 13 »Aber Herr«, wandte Hananias ein, »ich habe schon von so vielen gehört, wie grausam dieser Saulus in Jerusalem die verfolgt hat, die zu dir gehören. 14 Außerdem haben wir erfahren, dass er eine Vollmacht der obersten Priester hat, auch hier alle zu verhaften, die dich anbeten.« 15 Doch der Herr sprach zu Hananias: »Geh nur! Ich habe diesen Mann als mein Werkzeug auserwählt. Er soll mich bei den nichtjüdischen Völkern und ihren Herrschern, aber auch bei den Israeliten bekannt machen. 16 Dabei wird er erfahren, wie viel er um meinetwillen leiden muss.«
17 Hananias gehorchte. Er ging in das Haus von Judas, fand dort Saulus und legte ihm die Hände auf. »Lieber Bruder Saulus«, sagte er, »Jesus, der Herr, der dir unterwegs erschienen ist, hat mich zu dir geschickt, damit du wieder sehen kannst und mit dem Heiligen Geist erfüllt wirst.« 18 Im selben Moment fiel es Saulus wie Schuppen von den Augen, und er konnte wieder sehen. Er stand auf und ließ sich taufen. 19 Nachdem er gegessen hatte, erholte er sich schnell.
Aus dem Verfolger wird ein Verfolgter
Einige Tage blieb Saulus bei der Gemeinde in Damaskus. 20 Gleich nach seiner Taufe begann er, in den Synagogen zu predigen und zu verkünden, dass Jesus der Sohn Gottes ist.
21 Seine Zuhörer waren fassungslos. Ungläubig fragten sie: »Ist das nicht der, von dem alle in Jerusalem, die sich zu Jesus bekennen, so erbarmungslos verfolgt wurden? Und ist er nicht hergekommen, um die Anhänger dieses Mannes auch hier in Damaskus zu verhaften und an die obersten Priester in Jerusalem auszuliefern?« 22 Saulus aber konnte immer überzeugender beweisen, dass Jesus der versprochene Retter ist, so dass die Juden in Damaskus dem schließlich nichts mehr entgegenzusetzen hatten.
23 Deshalb beschlossen sie nach einiger Zeit, Saulus zu töten. 24 Der aber erfuhr von ihren Plänen; Tag und Nacht bewachten sie die Stadttore, damit er ihnen nicht entkam. 25 Da ließen ihn einige aus der Gemeinde, die durch ihn zum Glauben gefunden hatten, nachts in einem großen Korb die Stadtmauer hinunter, und so konnte er fliehen.
Saulus bei der Gemeinde in Jerusalem
26 Nachdem Saulus in Jerusalem angekommen war, versuchte er, sich dort der Gemeinde anzuschließen. Aber alle hatten Angst vor ihm, weil sie nicht glauben konnten, dass er wirklich ein Jünger von Jesus geworden war.
27 Endlich nahm sich Barnabas seiner an. Er brachte ihn zu den Aposteln und berichtete dort, wie Saulus auf der Reise nach Damaskus den Herrn gesehen hatte. Er erzählte, dass Jesus zu Saulus geredet und dieser dann in Damaskus furchtlos im Auftrag von Jesus die rettende Botschaft verkündet hatte.
28 Nun erst wurde Saulus von der Gemeinde in Jerusalem herzlich aufgenommen. Er ging bei ihnen aus und ein und predigte in der Öffentlichkeit unerschrocken im Namen des Herrn. 29 Mit den Griechisch sprechenden Juden führte er Streitgespräche. Bald trachteten auch sie ihm nach dem Leben. 30 Als die anderen Gläubigen davon erfuhren, brachten sie Saulus nach Cäsarea. Von dort reiste er in seine Heimatstadt Tarsus.
31 Die Gemeinde, die sich in Judäa, Galiläa und Samarien weiter ausbreitete, hatte nun Frieden und wuchs beständig. Die Gläubigen lebten in Ehrfurcht vor dem Herrn, und durch das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes schlossen sich immer mehr Menschen der Gemeinde an.
Petrus in Lydda und Joppe
32 Auf einer seiner vielen Reisen durch das ganze Land kam Petrus auch zu der Gemeinde in der Stadt Lydda. 33 Dort traf er Äneas, einen Mann, der schon acht Jahre lang gelähmt im Bett lag. 34 Petrus sagte zu ihm: »Äneas, Jesus Christus heilt dich. Steh auf und mach dein Bett!« Tatsächlich stand der Gelähmte auf und konnte gehen. 35 Als die Einwohner von Lydda und den umliegenden Orten in der Scharon-Ebene den Geheilten sahen, wandten sie sich Jesus, dem Herrn, zu und glaubten an ihn.
36 In der Stadt Joppe lebte eine Jüngerin von Jesus. Sie hieß Tabita. Der Name bedeutet »Gazelle«. Tabita tat viel Gutes und half den Armen, wo immer sie konnte. 37 Als Petrus in Lydda war, wurde sie plötzlich krank und starb. Man wusch die Tote und bahrte sie im oberen Stockwerk ihres Hauses auf. 38 Joppe liegt nicht weit von Lydda. Die Gemeinde in Joppe schickte deshalb zwei Männer mit der dringenden Bitte zu Petrus: »Komm, so schnell du kannst, zu uns nach Joppe!«
39 Petrus ging sofort mit ihnen. Als er angekommen war, führte man ihn in die Kammer, in der die Tote lag. Dort hatten sich viele Witwen eingefunden, denen Tabita in ihrer Not geholfen hatte. Weinend zeigten sie Petrus Kleider und Mäntel, die Tabita ihnen genäht hatte. 40 Doch Petrus schickte sie alle hinaus. Er kniete nieder und betete. Dann wandte er sich der Toten zu und sagte: »Tabita, steh auf!« Sofort öffnete sie die Augen, sah Petrus an und richtete sich auf. 41 Petrus reichte ihr die Hand und half ihr aufzustehen. Dann rief er die Gläubigen und die Witwen herein, die mit eigenen Augen sehen konnten, dass Tabita lebendig vor ihnen stand. 42 Bald wusste ganz Joppe, was geschehen war, und viele fanden zum Glauben an den Herrn. 43 Petrus blieb danach noch längere Zeit in Joppe und wohnte im Haus des Gerbers Simon.
Acts 9
King James Version
9 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Acts 9
New International Version
Saul’s Conversion(A)
9 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples.(B) He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus,(C) so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way,(D) whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.(E) 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice(F) say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”(G)
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound(H) but did not see anyone.(I) 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.(J) So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision,(K) “Ananias!”
“Yes, Lord,” he answered.
11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus(L) named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on(M) him to restore his sight.”
13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people(N) in Jerusalem.(O) 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests(P) to arrest all who call on your name.”(Q)
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument(R) to proclaim my name to the Gentiles(S) and their kings(T) and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”(U)
17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on(V) Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”(W) 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,(X) 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.
Saul in Damascus and Jerusalem
Saul spent several days with the disciples(Y) in Damascus.(Z) 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues(AA) that Jesus is the Son of God.(AB) 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name?(AC) And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”(AD) 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.(AE)
23 After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him,(AF) 24 but Saul learned of their plan.(AG) Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 25 But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.(AH)
26 When he came to Jerusalem,(AI) he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas(AJ) took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him,(AK) and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.(AL) 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews,[a](AM) but they tried to kill him.(AN) 30 When the believers(AO) learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea(AP) and sent him off to Tarsus.(AQ)
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria(AR) enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.(AS)
Aeneas and Dorcas
32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people(AT) who lived in Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you.(AU) Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up. 35 All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon(AV) saw him and turned to the Lord.(AW)
36 In Joppa(AX) there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good(AY) and helping the poor. 37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.(AZ) 38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples(BA) heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”
39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows(BB) stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Peter sent them all out of the room;(BC) then he got down on his knees(BD) and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.”(BE) She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. 41 He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive. 42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.(BF) 43 Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.(BG)
