Acts

赐圣灵的应许

1提阿非罗啊，我已经作了前书，论到耶稣开头一切所行所教训的，

2直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒，以后被接上升的日子为止。

3他受害之后，用许多的凭据将自己活活地显给使徒看，四十天之久向他们显现，讲说 神国的事。

4耶稣和他们聚集的时候，嘱咐他们说：「不要离开耶路撒冷，要等候父所应许的，就是你们听见我说过的。

5约翰是用水施洗，但不多几日，你们要受圣灵的洗。」

耶稣升天

6他们聚集的时候，问耶稣说：「主啊，你复兴以色列国就在这时候吗？」

7耶稣对他们说：「父凭着自己的权柄所定的时候、日期，不是你们可以知道的。

8但圣灵降临在你们身上，你们就必得着能力，并要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地，和撒马利亚，直到地极，作我的见证。」

9说了这话，他们正看的时候，他就被取上升，有一朵云彩把他接去，便看不见他了。

10当他往上去，他们定睛望天的时候，忽然有两个人身穿白衣，站在旁边，说：

11「加利利人哪，你们为什么站着望天呢？这离开你们被接升天的耶稣，你们见他怎样往天上去，他还要怎样来。」

接替犹大职分的人

12有一座山，名叫橄榄山，离耶路撒冷不远，约有安息日可走的路程。当下，门徒从那里回耶路撒冷去，

13进了城，就上了所住的一间楼房；在那里有彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗买、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、奋锐党的西门，和雅各的儿子犹大。

14这些人同着几个妇人和耶稣的母亲马利亚，并耶稣的弟兄，都同心合意地恒切祷告。

15那时，有许多人聚会，约有一百二十名，彼得就在弟兄中间站起来，

16说：「弟兄们！圣灵借大卫的口，在圣经上预言领人捉拿耶稣的犹大，这话是必须应验的。

17他本来列在我们数中，并且在使徒的职任上得了一分。

18这人用他作恶的工价买了一块田，以后身子仆倒，肚腹崩裂，肠子都流出来。

19住在耶路撒冷的众人都知道这事，所以按着他们那里的话给那块田起名叫亚革大马，就是「血田」的意思。

20因为诗篇上写着，说：愿他的住处变为荒场， 无人在内居住；又说：愿别人得他的职分。

21所以，主耶稣在我们中间始终出入的时候，

22就是从约翰施洗起，直到主离开我们被接上升的日子为止，必须从那常与我们作伴的人中立一位与我们同作耶稣复活的见证。」

23于是选举两个人，就是那叫做巴撒巴，又称呼犹士都的约瑟，和马提亚。

24众人就祷告说：「主啊，你知道万人的心，求你从这两个人中，指明你所拣选的是谁，叫他得这使徒的位分。这位分犹大已经丢弃，往自己的地方去了。」

26于是众人为他们摇签，摇出马提亚来；他就和十一个使徒同列。

1The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,

2Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.

3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.

4And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.

5For John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.

6They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:

8But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.

9And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.

11Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day’s journey.

13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James.

14All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:)

16Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:

17Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.

19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

20For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.

21Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,

22Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.

23And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

24And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

25To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.

26And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
