新约 -- 使徒行传(Acts) -- 第 16 章 ( 本篇共有 28 章 )
16:1 保罗来到特庇，又到路司得。在那里有一个门徒，名叫提摩太，是信主之犹太妇人的儿子，他父亲却是希腊人。
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
16:2 路司得和以哥念的弟兄，都称赞他。
Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
16:3 保罗要带他同去，只因那些地方的犹太人，都知道他父亲是希腊人，就给他行了割礼。
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
16:4 他们经过各城，把耶路撒冷使徒和长老所定的条规，交给门徒遵守。
And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem
16:5 于是众教会信心越发坚固，人数天天加增。
And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
16:6 圣灵既然禁止他们在亚细亚讲道，他们就经过弗吕家，加拉太一带地方。
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia , and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia ,
16:7 到了每西亚的边界，他们想要往庇推尼去，耶稣的灵却不许。
After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia
16:8 他们就越过每西亚，下到特罗亚去。
And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas .
16:9 在夜间有异象现与保罗。有一个马其顿人，站着求他说，请你过到马其顿来帮助我们。
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia , and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia
16:10 保罗既看见这异象，我们随既想要往马其顿去，以为神召我们传福音给那里的人听。
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia
16:11 于是从特罗亚开船，一直行到撒摩特喇，第二天到了尼亚波利。
Therefore loosing from Troas , we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
16:12 从那里来到腓立比，就是马其顿这一方的头一个城。也是罗马的驻防城。我们在这城里住了几天。
And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia
16:13 当安息日，我们出城门，到了河边，知道那里有一个祷告的地方，我们就坐下对那聚会的妇女讲道。
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
16:14 有一个卖紫色布疋的妇人，名叫吕底亚，是推雅推喇城的人，素来敬拜神。他听见了，主就开导他的心，叫他留心听保罗所讲的话。
And a certain woman named Lydia , a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira
16:15 他和他一家，既领了洗，便求我们说，你们若以为我是真信主的，（或作你们若以为我是忠心事奉主的）请到我家里来住。于是强留我们。
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16:16 后来，我们往那祷告的地方去。有一个使女迎着面来，他被巫鬼所附，用法术，叫他主人得大财利。
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
16:17 他跟随保罗和我们，喊着说，这些人是至高神的仆人，对你们传说救人的道。
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
16:18 他一连多日这样喊叫，保罗就心中厌烦，转身对那鬼说，我奉耶稣基督的名，吩咐你从他身上出来。那鬼当时就出来了。
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
16:19 使女的主人们，见得利的指望没有了，便揪住保罗和西拉，拉他们到市上去见首领。
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
16:20 又带到官长面前说，这些人原是犹太人，竟骚扰我们的城，
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
16:21 传我们罗马人所不可受，不可行的规矩。
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
16:22 众人就一同起来攻击他们。官长吩咐剥了他们的衣裳，用棍打。
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
16:23 打了许多棍，便将他们下在监里，嘱咐禁卒严紧看守。
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
16:24 禁卒领了这样的命，就把他们下在监里，两脚上了木狗。
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
16:25 约在半夜，保罗和西拉，祷告唱诗赞美神，众囚犯也侧耳而听。
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
16:26 忽然地大震动，甚至监牢的地基都摇动了。监门立刻全开，众囚犯的锁链也都松开了。
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
16:27 禁卒一醒，看见监门全开，以为囚犯已经逃走，就拔刀要自杀。
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
16:28 保罗大声呼叫说，不要伤害自己，我们都在这里。
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
16:29 禁卒叫人拿灯来，就跳进去，战战竞竞的，俯伏在保罗西拉面前。
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
16:30 又领他们出来说，二位先生，我当怎样行才能得救。
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
16:31 他们说，当信主耶稣，你和你一家都必得救。
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
16:32 他们就把主的道，讲给他和他全家的人听。
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
16:33 当夜就在那时候，禁卒把他们带去，洗他们的伤。他和属乎他的人，立时都受了洗。
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
16:34 于是禁卒领他们上自己家里去，给他们摆上饭，他和全家，因为信了神，都很喜乐。
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
16:35 到了天亮，官长打发差役来说，释放那两个人吧。
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
16:36 禁卒就把这话告诉保罗说，官长打发人来叫释放你们。如今可以出监，平平安安的去吧。
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
16:37 保罗却说，我们是罗马人，并没有定罪，他们就在众人面前打了我们，又把我们下在监里。现在要私下撵我们出去吗，这是不行的。叫他们自己来领我们出去吧。
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
16:38 差役把这话回禀官长。官长听见他们是罗马人，就害怕了。
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
16:39 于是来劝他们，领他们出来，请他们离开那城。
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
16:40 二人出了监，往吕底亚家里去。见了弟兄们，劝慰他们一番，就走了。
And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia
新约 -- 使徒行传(Acts) -- 第 17 章 ( 本篇共有 28 章 )
17:1 保罗和西拉，经过暗妃波里，亚波罗尼亚，来到帖撒罗尼迦，在那里有犹太人的会堂。
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
17:2 保罗照他素常的规矩进去，一连三个安息日，本着圣经与他们辩论，
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
17:3 讲解陈明基督必须受害，从死里复活。又说，我所传与你们的这位耶稣，就是基督。
Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
17:4 他们中间有些人听了劝，就附从保罗和西拉。并有许多虔敬的希腊人，尊贵的妇女也不少。
And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
17:5 但那不信的犹太人心里嫉妒，招聚了些市井匪类，搭夥成群，耸动合城的人，闯进耶孙的家，要将保罗西拉带到百姓那里。
But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
17:6 找不着他们，就把耶孙和几个弟兄，拉到地方官那里，喊叫说，那搅乱天下的，也到这里来了。
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
17:7 耶孙收留他们。这些人都违背凯撒的命令，说另有一个王耶稣。
Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
17:8 众人和地方官，听见这话，就惊慌了。
And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
17:9 于是取了耶孙和其馀之人的保状，就释放了他们。
And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
17:10 弟兄们，随既在夜间打发保罗和西拉往庇哩亚去。二人到了，就进入犹太人的会堂。
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea
17:11 这地方的人，贤于帖撒罗尼迦的人，甘心领受这道，天天考查圣经，要晓得这道，是与不是。
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
17:12 所以他们中间多有相信的。又有希腊尊贵的妇女，男子也不少。
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
17:13 但帖撒罗尼迦的犹太人，知道保罗又在庇哩亚传神的道，也就往那里去，耸动搅扰众人。
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea
17:14 当时弟兄们便打发保罗往海边去。西拉和提摩太仍住在庇哩亚。
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
17:15 送保罗的人带他到了雅典。既领了保罗的命令，叫西拉和提摩太速速到他这里来，就回去了。
And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens
17:16 保罗在雅典等候他们的时后，看见满城都是偶像，就心里着急。
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens
17:17 于是在会堂里，与犹太人，和虔敬的人，并每日在市上所遇见的人辩论。
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
17:18 还有以彼古罗和斯多亚两门的学士，与他争论。有的说，这胡言乱语的要说什么。有的说，他似乎是传说外邦鬼神的。这话是保罗传讲耶稣，与复活的道。
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
17:19 他们就把他带到亚略巴古说，你所讲的这新道，我们也可以知道吗。
And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
17:20 因为你有些奇怪的事，传到我们耳中。我们愿意知道这些事是什么意思。
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
17:21 雅典人，和住在那里的客人，都不顾别的事，只将新闻说说听听
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
17:22 保罗站在亚略巴古当中，说，众位雅典人哪，我看你们凡事很敬畏鬼神。
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens
17:23 我游行的时候，观看你们所敬拜的，遇见一座坛，上面写着未识之神。你们所不认识而敬拜的，我现在告诉你们。
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
17:24 创造宇宙和其中万物的神，既是天地的主，就不住人手所造的殿。
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
17:25 也不用人手服事，好像缺少什么，自己倒将生命气息，万物，赐给万人。
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
17:26 他从一本造出万族的人，（本有古卷作血脉），住在全地上，并且豫先定准他们的年限，和所住的疆界。
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
17:27 要叫他们寻求神，或者可以揣摩而得，其实他离我们各人不远。
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
17:28 我们生活，动作，存留，都在乎他，就如你们作诗的，有人说，我们也是他所生的。
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
17:29 我们既是神所生的，就不当以为神的神性像人用手艺，心思，所雕刻的金，银，石。
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
17:30 世人蒙昧无知的时后，神并不监察，如今却吩咐各处的人都要悔改。
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
17:31 因为他已经定了日子，要藉着他所设立的人，按正义审判天下。并且叫他从死里复活，给万人作可信的凭据。
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
17:32 众人听见从死里复活的话，就有讥诮他的，又有人说，我们再听你讲这个吧。
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
17:33 于是保罗从他们中出去了。
So Paul departed from among them.
17:34 但有几个人贴近他，信了主，其中有亚略巴古的官丢尼修，并一个妇人，名叫大马哩，还有别人一同信从。
Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
新约 -- 使徒行传(Acts) -- 第 18 章 ( 本篇共有 28 章 )
18:1 这事以后，保罗离了雅典，来到哥林多。
After these things Paul departed from Athens , and came to Corinth
18:2 遇见一个犹太人，名叫亚居拉，他生在本都。因为革老丢犹太人都离开罗马，新近带着妻百基拉，从意大利来。保罗就投奔了他们。
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus , lately come from Italy , with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome
18:3 他们本是制造帐棚为业。保罗因与他们同业，就和他们同住作工。
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
18:4 每逢安息日，保罗在会堂里辩论，劝化犹太人和希腊人。
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
18:5 西拉和提摩太从马其顿来的时候，保罗为道迫切，向犹太人证明耶稣是基督。
And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia
18:6 他们既抗拒，毁谤，保罗就抖着衣裳说，你们的罪归到你们自己头上，（罪原文作血）与我无干，（原文作我却乾净）从今以后，我要往外邦人那里去，
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
18:7 于是离开那里，到了一个人的家中，这人名叫提多犹士都，是敬拜神的，他的家靠近会堂。
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
18:8 管会堂的基利司布和全家都信了主。还有许多哥林多人听了，就相信受洗。
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
18:9 夜间主在异象中对保罗说，不要怕，只管讲，不要闭口。
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
18:10 有我与你同在，必没有人下手害你。因为在这城里我有许多的百姓。
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
18:11 保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，将神的道教训他们。
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
18:12 到迦流作亚该亚方伯的时候，犹太人同心起来攻击保罗，拉他到公堂，
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
18:13 说，这个人劝人不按着律法敬拜神。
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
18:14 保罗刚要开口，迦流就对犹太人说，你们这些犹太人，如果是为冤枉，或奸恶的事，我理当耐性听你们。
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
18:15 但所争论的，若是关乎言语，名目，和你们的律法，你们自己去辨吧。这样的事我不愿意审问。
But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
18:16 就把他们撵出公堂。
And he drave them from the judgment seat.
18:17 众人便揪住管会堂的所提尼，在堂前打他。这些事迦流都不管。
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18:18 保罗又住了多日，就辞别了弟兄，坐船往叙利亚去，百基拉，亚居拉和他同去。他因为许过愿，就在坚革哩剪了头发。
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
18:19 到了以弗所，保罗就把他们留在那里，自己进了会堂，和犹太人辩论。
And he came to Ephesus
18:20 众人请他多住些日子，他却不允。
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
18:21 就辞别他们说，神若许我，我还要回到你们这里。于是开船离了以弗所。
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem Ephesus
18:22 在凯撒利亚下了船，就上耶路撒冷去问教会安，随后下安提阿去。
And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch
18:23 住了些日子，又离开那里，挨次经过加拉太和弗吕家地方，坚固众门徒。
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
18:24 有一个犹太人，名叫亚波罗，来到以弗所。他生在亚力山太，是有学问的，最能讲解圣经。（学问或作口才）。
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria , an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus
18:25 这人已经在主的道上受了教训，心里火热，将耶稣的事，详细讲论教训人。只是他单晓得约翰的洗礼。
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
18:26 他在会堂放胆讲道，百基拉，亚居拉听见，就接他来，将神的道给他讲解更加详细。
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
18:27 他想要往亚该亚去。弟兄们就勉励他，并写信请门徒接待他。（或作弟兄们就写信劝门徒接待他）他到了那里，多帮助那蒙恩信主的人。
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
18:28 在众人面前极有能力，驳倒犹太人，引圣经证明耶稣是基督。
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
新约 -- 使徒行传(Acts) -- 第 19 章 ( 本篇共有 28 章 )
19:1 亚波罗在哥林多的时候，保罗经过了上边一带地方，就来到以弗所。在那里遇见几个门徒。
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth , Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus
19:2 问他们说，你们信的时候，受了圣灵没有。他们回答说，没有，也未曾听见有圣灵赐下来
He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
19:3 保罗说，这样，你们受的是什么洗呢。他们说，是约翰的洗。
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
19:4 保罗说，约翰所行的是悔改的洗，告诉百姓，当信那在他以后要来的，就是耶稣。
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
19:5 他们听见这话，就奉主的名受洗。
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
19:6 保罗按手在他们头上，圣灵便降在他们身上。他们就说方言，又说预言。（或作又讲道）。
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
19:7 一共约有十二个人。
And all the men were about twelve.
19:8 保罗进会堂，放胆讲道，一连三个月，辩论神国的事，劝化众人。
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God
19:9 后来有些人，心里刚硬不信，在众人面前毁谤这道，保罗就离开他们，也叫门徒与他们分离，便在推喇奴的学房，天天辩论。
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
19:10 这样有两年之久，叫一切住在亚细亚的，无论是游太人，是希腊人，都听见主的道。
And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
19:11 神藉保罗的手，行了些非常的奇事。
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
19:12 甚至有人从保罗身上拿手巾，或围裙，放在病人身上，病就退了，恶鬼也出去了。
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
19:13 那时，有几个游行各处，念咒赶鬼的犹太人，向那被恶鬼附的人，擅自称主耶稣的名，说，我奉保罗所传的耶稣，敕令你们出来。
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
19:14 作这事的，有犹太祭司长士基瓦的七个儿子。
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
19:15 恶鬼回答他们说，耶稣我认识，保罗我也知道。你们却是谁呢。
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
19:16 恶鬼所附的人，就跳在他们身上，胜了其中二人，制伏他们，叫他们赤着身子受了伤，从那房子里逃出去了。
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
19:17 凡住在以弗所的，无论是犹太人，是希腊人，都知道这事，也都惧怕，主耶稣的名从此就尊大了。
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus
19:18 那已经信的，多有人来承认诉说自己所行的事。
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19:19 平素行邪术的，也有许多人把书拿来，堆积在众人面前焚烧。他们算计书价，便知道共合五万块钱。
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19:20 主的道大大兴旺而且得胜，就是这样。
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
19:21 这些事完了，保罗心里定意，经过了马其顿，亚该亚就往耶路撒冷去，又说，我到了那里以后，也必须往罗马去看看。
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
19:22 于是从帮助他的人中，打发提摩太，以拉都二人，往马其顿去。自己暂时等在亚细亚。
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
19:23 那时，因为这道起的扰乱不小。
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
19:24 有一个银匠，名叫底米丢，是制造亚底米神银龛的，他使这样手艺人生意发达。
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
19:25 他聚集他们和同行的工人，说，众位，你们知道我们是倚靠这生意发财。
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
19:26 这保罗不但在以弗所，也几乎在亚细亚全地，引诱迷惑许多人，说，人手所作的不是神，这是你们所看见所听见的。
Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
19:27 这样，不独我们这事业，被人藐视，就是大女神亚底米的庙，也要被人轻忽，连亚细亚全地，和普天下，所敬拜的大女神之威荣，也要销灭了。
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
19:28 众人听见，就怒气填胸，喊着说，大哉以弗所人的亚底米阿。
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:29 满城都轰动起来。众人拿住保罗同行的马其顿人，该犹，和亚里达古，齐心拥进戏园里去。
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia
19:30 保罗想要进去，到百姓那里，门徒却不许他去。
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
19:31 还有亚细亚几位首领，是保罗的朋友，打发人来劝他，不要冒险到戏园里去。
And certain of the chief of Asia , which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
19:32 聚集的人，纷纷乱乱，有喊叫这个的，有喊叫那个的，大半不知道为什么聚集。
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
19:33 有人把亚历山大从众人中带出来，犹太人推他往前，亚历山大就摆手，要向百姓分诉。
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
19:34 只因他们认出他是犹太人，就大家同声喊着说，大哉以弗所人的亚底米阿。如此约有两小时
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:35 那城里的书记，安抚了众人，就说，以弗所人哪，谁不知道以弗所人的城，是看守大亚底米的庙，和从宙斯那里落下来的像呢。
And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus
19:36 这事既是驳不倒的，你们就当安静，不可造次。
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
19:37 你们把这些人带来，他们并没有偷窃庙中之物，也没有谤？？我们的女神。
For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
19:38 若是底米丢和他同行的人，有控告人的事，自有放告的日子。（或作自有公堂）也有方伯，可以彼此对告。
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
19:39 你们若问别的事，就可以照常例聚集断定。
But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
19:40 今日的搅扰，本是无缘无故，我们难免被查问。论到这样聚众，我们也说不出所以然来。
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
19:41 说了这话，便叫众人散去。
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
新约 -- 使徒行传(Acts) -- 第 20 章 ( 本篇共有 28 章 )
20:1 乱定之后，保罗请门徒来，劝勉他们，就辞别起行，往马其顿去。
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia
20:2 走遍了那一带地方，用许多话劝勉门徒，（或作众人）然后来到希腊。
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece
20:3 在那里住了三个月，将要坐船往叙利亚去。犹太人设计要害他，他就定意从马其顿回去。
And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria , he purposed to return through Macedonia
20:4 同他到亚细亚去的，有庇哩亚人毕罗斯的儿子所巴特，帖撒罗尼迦人亚里达古，和西公都，还有特庇人该犹，并提摩太，又有亚细亚人推基古，和特罗非摩。
And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia , Tychicus and Trophimus.
20:5 这些人先走在特罗亚等候我们。
These going before tarried for us at Troas .
20:6 过了除酵的日子，我们从腓立比开船，五天到了特罗亚，和他们相会，在那里住了七天。
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
20:7 七日的第一日，我们聚会擘饼的时候，保罗因为要次日起行，就与他们讲论，直到半夜。
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
20:8 我们聚会的那座楼上，有些灯烛。
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
20:9 有一个少年人，名叫犹推古，坐在窗台上，困倦沉睡。保罗讲了多时，少年人睡熟了，就从三层楼上掉下去。扶起他来，已经死了。
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
20:10 保罗下去，伏在他身上，抱着他，说，你们不要发慌，他的灵魂还在身上。
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
20:11 保罗又上去，擘饼，吃了，谈论许久，直到天亮，这才走了。
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
20:12 有人把那童子活活的领来，得的安慰不小。
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
20:13 我们先上船开往亚朔去，意思要在那里接保罗。因为他是这样安排的，他自己打算要步行。
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
20:14 他既在亚朔与我们相会，我们就接他上船，来到米推利尼。
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
20:15 从那里开船，次日到了基阿的对面。又次日，在撒摩靠岸。又次日，来到米利都。
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus
20:16 乃因保罗早已定意越过以弗所，免得在亚细亚耽延。他急忙前走，巴不得赶五旬节能到耶路撒冷。
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus , because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem
20:17 保罗从米利都打发人往以弗所去，请教会的长老来。
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus
20:18 他们来了，保罗就说，你们知道，自从我到亚细亚的日子以来，在你们中间始终为人如何，
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia , after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
20:19 服事主，凡事谦卑，眼中流泪，又因犹太人的谋害，经历试炼。
Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20:20 你们也知道，凡与你们有益的，我没有一样避讳不说的。或在众人面前，或在各人家里，我都教导你们。
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
20:21 又对犹太人，和希腊人，证明当向神悔改，信靠我主耶稣基督。
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:22 现在我往耶路撒冷去，心甚迫切，（原文作心被捆绑）不知道在那里要遇见什么事。
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem
20:23 但知道圣灵在各城里向我指证，说，有捆锁与患难等待我。
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
20:24 我却不以性命为念，也不看为宝贵，只要行完我的路程，成就我从主耶稣所领受的职事，证明神恩惠的福音。
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
20:25 我素常在你们中间来往，传讲神国的道，如今我晓得你们以后都不得再见我的面了。
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God
20:26 所以我今日向你们证明，你们中间无论何人死亡，罪不在我身上。（原文作我于众人的血是洁净的）。
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
20:27 因为神的旨意，我并没有一样避讳不传给你们的。
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
20:28 圣灵立你们作全群的监督，你们就当为自己谨慎，也为全群谨慎，牧养神的教会，就是他用自己血所买来的。（或作救赎）
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God
20:29 我知道我去之后，必有凶暴的豺狼，进入你们中间，不爱惜羊群。
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
20:30 就是你们中间，也必有人起来，说悖谬的话，要引诱门徒跟从他们。
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
20:31 所以你们应当儆醒，记念我三年之久，昼夜不住的流泪，劝戒你们各人。
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
20:32 如今我把你们交托神，和他恩惠的道。这道能建立你们，叫你们和一切成圣的人同得基业。
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
20:33 我未曾贪图一个人的金，银，衣服。
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
20:34 我这两只手，常供给我和同人的需用，这是你们自己知道的。
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
20:35 我凡事给你们作榜样，叫你们知道，应当这样劳苦，扶助软弱的人，又当记念主耶稣的话，说，施比受更为有福。
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
20:36 保罗说完了这话，就跪下同众人祷告。
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
20:37 众人痛哭，抱着保罗的颈项，和他亲嘴。
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
20:38 叫他们最伤心的，就是他说，以后不能再见我的面那句话。于是送他上船去了。
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
