Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
彼得和哥尼流
10 在凱撒利亞有一個人名叫哥尼流，是意大利營的百夫長。 2 他是個虔誠人，他和全家都敬畏 神。他多多賙濟百姓，常常向 神禱告。 3 有一天，約在下午三點鐘，他在異象中清楚看見 神的一個使者進來，到他那裏，對他說：「哥尼流。」 4 哥尼流定睛看他，驚惶地說：「主啊，甚麼事？」天使對他說：「你的禱告和你的賙濟已達到 神面前，蒙記念了。 5 現在你要派人往約帕去，請一位稱為彼得的西門來。 6 他住在一個皮革匠西門的家裏，房子就在海邊。」 7 向他說話的天使離開後，哥尼流叫了兩個僕人和常伺候他的一個虔誠的兵來， 8 把一切的事都講給他們聽，然後就派他們往約帕去。
9 第二天，他們走路將近那城，約在正午，彼得上房頂去禱告。 10 他覺得餓了，想要吃。那家的人正預備飯的時候，彼得魂遊象外， 11 看見天開了，有一塊好像大布的東西降下，四角[a]吊着縋在地上， 12 裏面有地上各樣四腳的走獸、爬蟲和天上的飛鳥。 13 又有聲音對他說：「彼得，起來！宰了吃。」 14 彼得卻說：「主啊，絕對不可！凡污俗和不潔淨的東西，我從來沒有吃過。」 15 第二次有聲音再對他說：「 神所潔淨的，你不可當作污俗的。」 16 這樣一連三次，那東西隨即收回天上去了。
17 正當彼得心裏困惑，不知所看見的異象是甚麼意思時，哥尼流所差來的人已經找到了西門的家，站在門外， 18 喊着問有沒有一位稱為彼得的西門住在這裏。 19 彼得還在思考那異象的時候，聖靈對他說：「有三個人來找你。 20 起來，下去，跟他們同去，不要疑惑，因為是我差他們來的。」 21 於是彼得下去見那些人，說：「我就是你們要找的人，你們是為了甚麼緣故在這裏？」 22 他們說：「百夫長哥尼流是個義人，敬畏 神，為猶太全民族所稱讚。他蒙一位聖天使指示，叫他請你到他家裏去，要聽你講話。」 23 彼得就請他們進去住宿。
次日，他起身和他們同去，還有約帕的幾個弟兄跟他一起去。 24 又次日，他[b]進入凱撒利亞，哥尼流已經請了他的親朋好友在等候他們。 25 彼得一進去，哥尼流就迎接他，俯伏在他腳前拜他。 26 但是彼得拉他起來，說：「你起來，我自己也不過是人。」 27 彼得和他一邊說話一邊進去，見有好些人聚集， 28 就對他們說：「你們知道，猶太人和別國的人結交來往本是不合規矩的，但 神已經指示我，無論甚麼人都不可看作污俗或不潔淨的。 29 所以，我一被邀請，沒有推辭就來了。現在請問，你們為甚麼叫我來呢？」 30 哥尼流說：「四天前，這個時候，我在家中守着下午三點鐘的禱告，忽然有一個人穿着明亮的衣裳站在我面前， 31 說：『哥尼流，你的禱告已蒙垂聽，你的賙濟在 神面前已蒙記念了。 32 你要派人往約帕去，請那稱為彼得的西門來，他住在海邊一個皮革匠西門的家裏。』 33 所以我立刻派人去請你。你來了真好。現在我們都在 神面前，要聽主[c]吩咐你的一切話。」
在哥尼流家中講道
34 彼得開口說：「我真的看出 神是不偏待人的。 35 不但如此，在各國中那敬畏他而行義的人都為他所悅納。 36 神藉着耶穌基督—他是萬有的主—傳和平的福音，把這道傳給以色列人。 37-38 這話在約翰傳揚洗禮以後，從加利利起，傳遍了猶太。 神怎樣以聖靈和能力膏了拿撒勒人耶穌，這都是你們知道的。他到處奔波，行善事，醫好凡被魔鬼壓制的人，因為 神與他同在。 39 他在猶太人之地和耶路撒冷所行的一切事，有我們作見證人。他們竟把他掛在木頭上殺了。 40 第三天， 神使他復活，使他顯現出來； 41 不是顯現給所有的人看，而是顯現給 神預先所揀選為他作見證的人看，就是我們這些在他從死人中復活以後和他同吃同喝的人。 42 他吩咐我們傳道給眾人，證明他是 神所立定，要作審判活人、死人的審判者。 43 眾先知也為這人作見證：凡信他的人，必藉着他的名得蒙赦罪。」
外邦人領受聖靈
44 彼得還在說這些話的時候，聖靈降在一切聽道的人身上。 45 那些奉割禮的信徒和彼得同來，見聖靈的恩賜也澆在外邦人身上，就都驚奇； 46 因聽見他們說方言[d]，稱讚 神為大。於是彼得回答： 47 「這些人既受了聖靈，跟我們一樣，誰能阻止用水給他們施洗呢？」 48 他就吩咐奉耶穌基督的名給他們施洗。於是他們請彼得住了幾天。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
哥尼流邀请彼得
10 在凯撒利亚有一位隶属意大利营的百夫长名叫哥尼流。 2 他和全家都是虔诚敬畏上帝的人，他慷慨周济穷人，常常祷告。 3 一天，大约下午三点，他在异象中清楚地看见一位上帝的天使进来呼唤他：“哥尼流！”
4 哥尼流惊恐地注视着他，问：“主啊，什么事？”
天使回答说：“你的祷告和周济穷人的善行已经在上帝面前蒙悦纳。 5 如今你要派人去约帕，请一个叫西门·彼得的人来。 6 他住在一个叫西门的皮革匠家里，房子在海边。”
7 向他说话的天使离开后，哥尼流叫来两个家仆和自己的一个敬虔侍卫， 8 把刚才的事告诉他们，然后差他们去约帕。
彼得见异象
9 第二天中午，他们快要到达约帕时，彼得上屋顶去祷告。 10 他觉得肚子饿了，想吃东西。那家人正在预备午饭的时候，彼得进入异象， 11 看见天开了，有一样东西好像一大块布，四角吊着降到地上， 12 里面有各种天上的飞禽、地上的爬虫和四足的走兽。 13 然后有声音对他说：“彼得，起来，宰了吃！”
14 彼得却说：“主啊！这可不行！我从未吃过任何污秽不洁之物。”
15 那声音又一次对他说：“上帝已经洁净的，你不可再称之为不洁净。” 16 这样一连三次之后，那块布就被收回天上去了。
17 彼得不知所措，正在猜测这异象到底是什么意思，哥尼流的仆人们刚好找来了， 18 正站在门口大声问西门·彼得是否住在这里。
19 彼得还在苦苦思索的时候，圣灵又对他说：“彼得，外面有三个人来找你， 20 快下楼跟他们去，不必多虑，他们是我差来的。” 21 彼得就下去见他们，说：“我就是你们要找的人，有什么事？”
22 他们说：“哥尼流百夫长是个又正直又敬畏上帝的人，连犹太人都称赞他。上帝的天使指示他请你到他家里去，好听你的指教。”
23 彼得就留他们住了一夜。第二天，彼得和他们以及几个约帕的弟兄一同出发了。 24 又过了一天，他们到达凯撒利亚。哥尼流已经请来亲朋好友，在等候他们。 25 他一看见彼得，就迎上去俯伏在他脚前拜他。 26 彼得连忙把他扶起来，说：“快起来，我只不过是人。”
27 彼得和他边走边谈，进屋后，见聚集了许多人， 28 就对他们说：“你们都知道，按照犹太人的传统，我们不可以和外族人来往。但上帝已经指示我不可把任何人视为污秽不洁。 29 所以，我受到邀请后，毫不犹豫地来了。请问你们为什么请我来？”
30 哥尼流说：“四天前，大约也是下午三点这个时候，我在家里祷告，忽然有一个身穿明亮衣服的人站在我面前， 31 说，‘哥尼流，上帝已经垂听了你的祷告，也悦纳你周济穷人的善行。 32 你派人去约帕把那位叫西门·彼得的人请来，他住在海边一个叫西门的皮革匠家。’ 33 于是我立刻派人去请你。你能来，真是荣幸，现在我们都在上帝面前，想聆听主吩咐你传给我们的话。”
福音临到外族人
34 彼得说：“现在我深深地明白，上帝不偏待人。 35 无论哪一个民族，只要敬畏祂，秉公行义，都会蒙祂接纳。 36 上帝借着万物的主宰——耶稣基督把平安的福音传给以色列人。 37 你们都知道，自从约翰宣讲洗礼以来，从加利利开始，整个犹太地区发生了什么事。 38 你们也知道，拿撒勒人耶稣是上帝用圣灵和大能膏立的。祂周游四方，广行善事，医好被魔鬼压制的人，因为上帝与祂同在。 39 我们亲眼目睹了耶稣在犹太全境和耶路撒冷所做的一切。可是，世人却把祂钉死在十字架上。 40 但第三天，上帝使祂从死里复活，并且向人显现， 41 不是向所有的人显现，而是向被上帝预先拣选为祂做见证的人显现，就是我们这些在祂复活以后与祂一同吃喝过的人。 42 祂命令我们向世人传道，见证祂就是上帝指派来审判活人和死人的那位。 43 所有先知也都为祂做见证说，‘谁信祂，谁的罪就能借着祂的名得到赦免。’”
44 彼得还在说话的时候，圣灵就降临在每一个听道的人身上。 45 跟彼得一起来的那些严守割礼的信徒，看见圣灵的恩赐也浇灌到外族人身上，都很惊奇。 46 因为他们听见这些人又说方言又赞美上帝。于是彼得说： 47 “既然这些人已经和我们一样领受了圣灵，谁能阻止他们接受洗礼呢？” 48 彼得吩咐他们奉耶稣基督的名受洗。之后，他们又请彼得住了几天。
Acts 10
King James Version
10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 10
New King James Version
Cornelius Sends a Delegation
10 There was a certain man in (A)Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian [a]Regiment, 2 (B)a devout man and one who (C)feared God with all his household, who gave [b]alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 About [c]the ninth hour of the day (D)he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 5 Now (E)send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 He is lodging with (F)Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. (G)He[d] will tell you what you must do.” 7 And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. 8 So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Peter’s Vision
9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, (H)Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about [e]the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and (I)saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! (J)For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, (K)“What God has [f]cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Summoned to Caesarea
17 Now while Peter [g]wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. 18 And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
19 While Peter thought about the vision, (L)the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. 20 (M)Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
21 Then Peter went down to the men [h]who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?”
22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and (N)has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you.” 23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.
On the next day Peter went away with them, (O)and some brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Peter Meets Cornelius
24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, (P)“Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he said to them, “You know how (Q)unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But (R)God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”
30 So Cornelius said, [i]“Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, (S)a man stood before me (T)in bright clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, (U)your prayer has been heard, and (V)your [j]alms are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea. [k]When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
Preaching to Cornelius’ Household
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: (W)“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But (X)in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is (Y)accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the [l]children of Israel, (Z)preaching peace through Jesus Christ—(AA)He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and (AB)began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how (AC)God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who (AD)went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, (AE)for God was with Him. 39 And we are (AF)witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom [m]they (AG)killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him (AH)God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 (AI)not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us (AJ)who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And (AK)He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify (AL)that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge (AM)of the living and the dead. 43 (AN)To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, (AO)whoever believes in Him will receive (AP)remission[n] of sins.”
The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, (AQ)the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 (AR)And [o]those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, (AS)because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit (AT)just as we have?” 48 (AU)And he commanded them to be baptized (AV)in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
