使徒行傳 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
彼得的解釋
11 使徒和猶太全境的弟兄姊妹都聽說外族人接受了上帝的道。 2 彼得一回到耶路撒冷，嚴守割禮的門徒就指責他： 3 「你竟然去未受割禮之人的家，還和他們一同吃飯！」
4 彼得就把事情的經過一一向他們解釋，說： 5 「我在約帕城禱告的時候，看見一個異象，有一大塊像布的東西四個角吊著從天上降到我面前。 6 我定睛一看，裡面有牲畜、野獸、爬蟲和飛禽。 7 接著，我聽見有聲音對我說，『彼得，起來，宰了吃！』 8 我說，『主啊，這可不行！我從未吃過任何污穢不潔之物！』 9 那從天上來的聲音又說，『上帝已經潔淨的，你不可再稱之為不潔淨。』 10 這樣一連三次，然後一切都被收回天上去了。 11 就在那時候，有三個從凱撒利亞來的人到我住處的門口來找我。 12 聖靈吩咐我跟他們同去，不要猶豫。就這樣，我和這六位弟兄一同到了哥尼流家。 13 他告訴我們天使如何在他家中向他顯現，並對他說，『你派人去約帕，請一位名叫西門·彼得的人來。 14 他有話告訴你，能使你和你的全家得救。』
15 「我開口講話時，聖靈降在他們身上，跟當初降在我們身上的情形一模一樣。 16 我就想起主的話，『約翰用水施洗，但你們要受聖靈的洗禮。』 17 既然上帝給他們恩賜，就如我們信主耶穌基督時給我們一樣，我是誰，怎能攔阻上帝？」 18 大家聽了便安靜下來，轉而歸榮耀給上帝，說：「如此看來，上帝把悔改得永生的機會也賜給了外族人。」
安提阿的教會
19 司提凡殉道後，信徒們因受迫害而四散到各處，遠至腓尼基、塞浦路斯和安提阿，他們只向那裡的猶太人傳福音。 20 不過，有些塞浦路斯和古利奈的信徒到了安提阿之後，也向希臘人傳講主耶穌的福音。 21 上帝的能力伴隨著他們，有許多人信了主。
22 耶路撒冷教會的人聽到這消息後，就派巴拿巴去安提阿。 23 他到達後，看見上帝所賜的恩典，就萬分高興，勸勉他們要全心地忠於主。
24 巴拿巴是個被聖靈充滿、信心堅定的好人。那時信主的人大大增加。 25 他又到大數去找掃羅， 26 找到後，便帶他回安提阿。他們在教會待了一年之久，教導了許多人。門徒被稱為「基督徒」就是從安提阿開始的。
27 當時，有幾位先知從耶路撒冷下到安提阿。 28 其中一位名叫亞迦布，他得到聖靈的啟示，站起來預言天下將有嚴重的饑荒。後來，這事果然在克勞狄執政期間發生了。 29 門徒決定各盡所能，捐款救濟住在猶太境內的弟兄姊妹。 30 他們捐完後，委託巴拿巴和掃羅將款項送交耶路撒冷教會的長老。
Apostlagärningarna 11

Petrus rapport om hedningarna
11 Apostlarna och bröderna i Judeen fick höra att även hedningarna hade tagit emot Guds ord. 2 När Petrus kom upp till Jerusalem började de omskurna angripa honom 3 (A) och sade: "Du har varit inne hos oomskurna män och ätit med dem!"
4 Petrus förklarade då steg för steg vad som hade hänt: 5 (B) "Jag var i staden Joppe, och medan jag bad kom jag i hänryckning och fick se en syn. Det kom ner något som liknade en stor linneduk. Fäst i sina fyra hörn sänktes den ner från himlen och kom till mig. 6 När jag såg efter och studerade den närmare, fick jag se jordens fyrfotadjur, både vilda och tama, och kräldjur och himlens fåglar. 7 Jag hörde också en röst som sade till mig: Res dig, Petrus, slakta och ät! 8 Jag svarade: Nej, nej, Herre! Det har aldrig kommit något oheligt eller orent i min mun. 9 För andra gången talade en röst från himlen: Vad Gud har förklarat rent ska inte du kalla orent. 10 Detta hände tre gånger, och sedan drogs alltsammans upp till himlen.
11 Samtidigt stod tre män utanför huset där vi var. De hade skickats till mig från Caesarea, 12 och Anden sade till mig att jag skulle gå med dem utan att tveka[a]. De sex bröderna här följde också med mig, och vi kom in i mannens hus. 13 (C) Han berättade för oss hur han hade sett ängeln stå i hans hus och säga: Skicka bud till Joppe och hämta hit Simon som kallas Petrus. 14 Han ska tala till dig, och genom de orden ska du bli frälst, du och hela din familj[b].
15 (D) Och när jag började tala föll den helige Ande över dem, så som han föll över oss under den första tiden. 16 (E) Då kom jag ihåg vad Herren hade sagt[c]: Johannes döpte med vatten, men ni ska bli döpta i den helige Ande. 17 Om nu Gud gav dem samma gåva som han gav oss när vi kom till tro[d] på Herren Jesus Kristus, vem var då jag att kunna hindra Gud?"
18 (F) När de hörde detta lugnade de sig, och de prisade Gud och sade: "Till och med åt hedningarna har Gud alltså skänkt omvändelsen som ger liv."
Evangeliet når även hedningarna
19 (G) De som hade skingrats genom förföljelsen som började med Stefanus kom ända till Fenicien, Cypern och Antiokia[e], och de förkunnade ordet endast för judar. 20 Men bland dem fanns några från Cypern och Kyrene, och när de kom till Antiokia började de tala även till grekerna och förkunna evangeliet om Herren Jesus. 21 Och Herrens hand var med dem, och ett stort antal kom till tro och omvände sig till Herren.
22 (H) Ryktet om detta nådde församlingen i Jerusalem, och man sände då Barnabas till Antiokia. 23 (I) När han kom dit och såg vad Guds nåd hade gjort, blev han glad och uppmanade dem alla att hålla sig till Herren av hela sitt hjärta. 24 Barnabas var en god man, fylld av den helige Ande och tro. Och en stor skara fördes till Herren.
25 (J) Därefter begav han sig till Tarsus för att söka upp Saulus. 26 Han fann honom och tog med honom till Antiokia. Under ett helt år var de tillsammans med församlingen och undervisade en stor skara. Och det var i Antiokia som lärjungarna först började kallas kristna[f].
27 (K) Vid den tiden kom några profeter från Jerusalem ner till Antiokia. 28 (L) En av dem som hette Agabus steg fram och förutsade genom Anden att en svår svält[g] skulle drabba hela världen – den kom också under Claudius regering. 29 (M) Då beslöt lärjungarna att var och en skulle skicka så mycket han kunde för att hjälpa bröderna som bodde i Judeen. 30 (N) De gjorde så och sände hjälpen med Barnabas och Saulus till de äldste.

Acts 11
King James Version
11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Acts 11
New King James Version
Peter Defends God’s Grace
11 Now the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, (A)those of the circumcision contended with him, 3 saying, (B)“You went in to uncircumcised men (C)and ate with them!”
4 But Peter explained it to them (D)in order from the beginning, saying: 5 (E)“I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me. 6 When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’ 8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.’ 9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed you must not call common.’ 10 Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven. 11 At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. 12 Then (F)the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. Moreover (G)these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 (H)And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 14 who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’ 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, (I)as upon us at the beginning. 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, (J)‘John indeed baptized with water, but (K)you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ 17 (L)If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, (M)who was I that I could withstand God?”
18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, (N)“Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
Barnabas and Saul at Antioch
19 (O)Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only. 20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to (P)the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And (Q)the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and (R)turned to the Lord.
22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out (S)Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. 23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and (T)encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. 24 For he was a good man, (U)full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. (V)And a great many people were added to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas departed for (W)Tarsus to seek Saul. 26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Relief to Judea
27 And in these days (X)prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 Then one of them, named (Y)Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of (Z)Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send (AA)relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30 (AB)This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
