使徒行傳 21
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
保羅上耶路撒冷
21 我們離別了眾人，就開船直航到哥士，第二天到了羅底，又從那裏到帕大喇。 2 我們遇見一隻船要往腓尼基去，就上船起航。 3 我們望見塞浦路斯，就從南邊行過，往敘利亞去，在推羅上岸，因為船要在那裏卸貨。 4 我們在那裏找到了一些門徒，就住了七天。他們藉着聖靈的感動，告訴保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。 5 幾天之後，我們又出發前行。他們眾人同妻子兒女都送我們到城外，我們都跪在灘上禱告，彼此辭別。 6 我們上了船，他們就回家去了。
7 我們從推羅行完航程，來到了多利買，問候那裏的弟兄，和他們同住了一天。 8 第二天，我們離開那裏，來到凱撒利亞，就進了傳福音的腓利家裏，和他同住；他是那七個執事裏的一個。 9 他有四個女兒，都是未出嫁的，都會說預言。 10 我們在那裏多住了好幾天，有一個先知，名叫亞迦布，從猶太下來。 11 他到了我們這裏，就拿保羅的腰帶，捆上自己的手腳，說：「聖靈這樣說：『猶太人在耶路撒冷要如此捆綁這腰帶的主人，把他交在外邦人手裏。』」 12 我們聽見這些話，就跟當地的人苦勸保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。 13 於是保羅回答：「你們為甚麼這樣痛哭，使我心碎呢？我為主耶穌的名，不但被人捆綁，就是死在耶路撒冷也是願意的。」 14 既然保羅不聽勸，我們就住了口，只說：「願主的旨意成就。」
15 過了這幾天，我們收拾行李上耶路撒冷去。 16 有凱撒利亞的幾個門徒和我們同去，帶我們到一個早期的門徒塞浦路斯人拿孫的家裏，請我們與他同住。
保羅訪問雅各
17 我們到了耶路撒冷，弟兄們歡歡喜喜地接待我們。 18 第二天，保羅同我們去見雅各；所有的長老也都在場。 19 保羅向他們問安，然後將 神用他在外邦人中所做的事奉，一一述說了。 20 他們聽見了，就歸榮耀給 神，對保羅說：「弟兄，你看猶太人中有數以萬計的信徒，而他們都是熱心於律法的人。 21 他們曾聽見人說，你教導所有在外邦的猶太人離棄摩西，對他們說，不要給孩子行割禮，也不要遵守規矩。 22 眾人必聽見你來了，這可怎麼辦呢？ 23 你就照着我們的話做吧！我們這裏有四個人，都有願在身。 24 你帶他們去，與他們一同行潔淨的禮，替他們繳納規費，讓他們得以剃頭。這樣，眾人就會知道，先前所聽見關於你的事都是假的；而且也知道，你自己為人循規蹈矩，遵行律法。 25 至於信主的外邦人，[a]我們已經根據我們的決議寫信，叫他們要禁戒偶像所玷污的東西、血和勒死的牲畜，禁戒淫亂。」 26 於是保羅帶着那四個人，第二天與他們一同行了潔淨禮，進了聖殿，報告潔淨期滿的日子，等候祭司為他們各人獻上祭物。
保羅在聖殿裏被捕
27 那七日將完，從亞細亞來的猶太人看見保羅在聖殿裏，就煽動所有的羣眾，下手拿住他， 28 喊着：「以色列人哪，來幫忙！這就是在各處教導眾人糟蹋我們百姓、律法和這地方的人。不但如此，他還帶了希臘人進聖殿，污穢了這聖地。」 29 這話是因他們曾看見以弗所人特羅非摩跟保羅一起在城裏，以為保羅帶他進了聖殿。 30 於是全城都騷動，百姓一齊跑來，拿住保羅，拉他出聖殿，殿門立刻都關了。 31 他們正想要殺他，有人報信給營裏的千夫長，說耶路撒冷全城都亂了。 32 千夫長立刻帶着士兵和幾個百夫長，跑下去到他們那裏。他們見了千夫長和士兵，就停下來不打保羅。 33 於是千夫長上前拿住他，吩咐用兩條鐵鏈捆鎖，又問他是甚麼人，做了甚麼事。 34 羣眾中有的喊這個，有的喊那個；因為這樣亂嚷，千夫長無法知道實情，就下令將保羅帶進營樓去。 35 保羅一走上臺階，羣眾擠得兇猛，士兵只得將保羅抬起來。 36 一羣人跟在後面，喊着：「除掉他！」
保羅為自己辯護
37 保羅快要被帶進營樓時，對千夫長說：「我可以對你說句話嗎？」千夫長說：「你懂得希臘話嗎？ 38 那你就不是從前作亂、帶領四千兇徒往曠野去的那埃及人了。」 39 保羅說：「我本是猶太人，生在基利家的大數，並不是無名小城的公民。求你准我對百姓說話。」 40 千夫長准了。保羅就站在臺階上，向百姓做了個手勢，要他們靜下來，保羅就用希伯來話對他們說：

結束第三次宣教旅程
21 我們離別了他們以後，船就直航到了哥士，第二天到羅底，從那裡開往帕大拉； 2 遇見了一艘開往腓尼基的船，就上船起行。 3 我們遠遠看見塞浦路斯，就從南邊駛過，直航敘利亞，在推羅靠了岸，因為船要在那裡卸貨。 4 我們找到了一些門徒，就在那裡住了七天。他們憑著聖靈的指示告訴保羅不要上耶路撒冷去。 5 過了這幾天，我們就啟程前行，他們眾人帶著妻子兒女送我們到城外。我們跪在海灘上禱告， 6 互相道別。我們上了船，他們就回家去了。
7 我們從推羅繼續航行，到了多利買，問候那裡的弟兄，與他們同住了一天。 8 第二天我們離開那裡，來到該撒利亞，到了傳福音的腓利家裡，與他住在一起。他是那七位執事中的一位。 9 他有四個女兒，都是童女，是會說預言的。 10 我們住了幾天之後，有一位先知，名叫亞迦布，從猶太下來。 11 他來見我們，把保羅的腰帶拿過來，綁住自己的手腳，說：“聖靈說，猶太人在耶路撒冷要這樣捆綁這腰帶的主人，把他交在外族人的手裡。” 12 我們聽了這些話，就和當地的人勸保羅不要去耶路撒冷。 13 保羅卻回答：“你們為甚麼哭，使我心碎呢？我為主耶穌的名，不但被捆綁，就算死在耶路撒冷我也都準備好了。” 14 他既然不聽勸，我們只說了“願主的旨意成就”，就不出聲了。
15 過了幾天，我們收拾行裝，上耶路撒冷去。 16 有該撒利亞的幾個門徒同我們在一起，領我們到一個塞浦路斯人拿孫家裡住宿；他作了門徒已經很久了。
保羅報告工作的情況
17 我們到了耶路撒冷，弟兄們歡歡喜喜接待我們。 18 第二天，保羅和我們一同去見雅各，長老們也都在座。 19 保羅問候了他們，就把 神藉著他的工作在外族人中所行的事，一一述說出來。 20 他們聽了，就讚美 神，對保羅說：“弟兄，你看，猶太人中信主的有好幾萬，都是對律法很熱心的人。 21 他們聽說，你教導所有在外族人中的猶太人背棄摩西，叫他們不要給孩子行割禮，也不要遵守規例。 22 他們總會聽見你來了，那怎麼辦呢？ 23 你就照我們的話作吧，我們這裡有四個人，都有願在身。 24 你把他們帶去，和他們一同行潔淨禮，並且替他們付錢，讓他們剃去頭髮，這樣大家就知道以前所聽見關於你的事，都不是真實的，也知道你是遵守律法循規蹈矩而行的人。 25 至於信主的外族人，我們已經寫了信，吩咐他們要禁戒祭偶像的食物、血、勒死的牲畜和淫亂。” 26 保羅就把那幾個人帶走了，第二天和他們一同行了潔淨禮。他們進了殿，報明了他們潔淨期滿的日子，以及各人獻祭的時間。
保羅在聖殿被猶太人捉住
27 七日將完的時候，從亞西亞來的猶太人看見保羅在殿裡，就煽動群眾，並且捉住他， 28 喊叫著說：“以色列人哪，快來幫忙！這個人到處教導眾人反對人民，反對律法和這個地方，他甚至把希臘人也帶進殿裡，污穢了這聖地。” 29 原來他們看見過以弗所人特羅非摩同保羅在城裡，就以為保羅帶他進了殿。 30 於是全城震動，民眾一齊跑來，捉住保羅，拉出殿外，殿門就立刻關起來了。 31 他們正想殺他的時候，有人報告營部的千夫長，說：“整個耶路撒冷都亂了！” 32 千夫長立刻帶著一些百夫長和士兵跑到他們那裡。眾人一看見千夫長和士兵，就停止毆打保羅。 33 於是千夫長上前捉住保羅，吩咐人用兩條鐵鍊捆住他，問他是甚麼人，作過甚麼事。 34 那時眾人叫這個喊那個，吵吵鬧鬧，以致千夫長沒有辦法知道真相，只好下令把保羅帶到營樓去。 35 保羅到了臺階下面的時候，士兵把他抬起來，因為群眾猛擠， 36 而且有一群人跟在後面叫喊：“幹掉他！”
保羅為自己申辯(A)
37 他們帶著保羅快到營樓的時候，保羅對千夫長說：“我可以跟你講一句話嗎？”千夫長說：“你懂希臘話嗎？ 38 難道你不就是不久以前作亂的、帶領四千個殺手到曠野去的那個埃及人嗎？” 39 保羅說：“我是猶太人，是基利家的大數人，並不是無名小城的公民，求你准我向民眾講幾句話。” 40 千夫長准許了他，保羅就站在臺階上，向民眾作了一個手勢。大家安靜下來了，保羅就用希伯來語講話，說：
Acts 21
King James Version
21 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Acts 21
New King James Version
Warnings on the Journey to Jerusalem
21 Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 4 And finding [a]disciples, we stayed there seven days. (A)They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5 When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And (B)we knelt down on the shore and prayed. 6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned (C)home.
7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. 8 On the next day we [b]who were Paul’s companions departed and came to (D)Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip (E)the evangelist, (F)who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters (G)who prophesied. 10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named (H)Agabus came down from Judea. 11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, (I)‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”
12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, (J)“What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, (K)“The will of the Lord be done.”
Paul Urged to Make Peace
15 And after those days we [c]packed and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 (L)And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 On the following day Paul went in with us to (M)James, and all the elders were present. 19 When he had greeted them, (N)he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles (O)through his ministry. 20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all (P)zealous for the law; 21 but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs. 22 [d]What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come. 23 Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow. 24 Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may (Q)shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law. 25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, (R)we have written and decided [e]that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from [f]sexual immorality.”
Arrested in the Temple
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, (S)entered the temple (T)to announce the [g]expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.
27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, (U)the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and (V)laid hands on him, 28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man (W)who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.” 29 (For they had [h]previously seen (X)Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 And (Y)all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut. 31 Now as they were (Z)seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the [i]garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 (AA)He immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul. 33 Then the (AB)commander came near and took him, and (AC)commanded him to be bound with two chains; and he asked who he was and what he had done. 34 And some among the multitude cried one thing and some another.
So when he could not ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks. 35 When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob. 36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, (AD)“Away with him!”
Addressing the Jerusalem Mob(AE)
37 Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, “May I speak to you?”
He replied, “Can you speak Greek? 38 (AF)Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?”
39 But Paul said, (AG)“I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no [j]mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
40 So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and (AH)motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the (AI)Hebrew language, saying,
