Acts

保罗在哥林多

1这事以后，保罗离了雅典，来到哥林多。

2遇见一个犹太人，名叫亚居拉，他生在本都；因为克劳第命犹太人都离开罗马，新近带着妻百基拉，从意大利来。保罗就投奔了他们。

3他们本是制造帐棚为业。保罗因与他们同业，就和他们同住做工。

4每逢安息日，保罗在会堂里辩论，劝化犹太人和希腊人。

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。

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，与我无干。从今以后，我要往外邦人那里去。」

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。

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。

9夜间，主在异象中对保罗说：「不要怕，只管讲，不要闭口，

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。」

11保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，将 神的道教训他们。

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，

13说：「这个人劝人不按着律法敬拜 神。」

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。

15但所争论的，若是关乎言语、名目，和你们的律法，你们自己去办吧！这样的事我不愿意审问」；

16就把他们撵出公堂。

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。

保罗回到安提阿

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。

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。

20众人请他多住些日子，他却不允，

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。

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。

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。

亚波罗在以弗所讲道

24有一个犹太人，名叫亚波罗，来到以弗所。他生在亚历山大，是有学问的，最能讲解圣经。

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。

26他在会堂里放胆讲道；百基拉、亚居拉听见，就接他来，将 神的道给他讲解更加详细。

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。他到了那里，多帮助那蒙恩信主的人，

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。

1After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

2And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;

3and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.

4And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

6And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

9And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:

10for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.

11And he dwelt there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,

13saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.

16And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

17And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

18And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow.

19And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;

21but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

22And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.

23And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.

25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:

26and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.

27And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;

28for he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
