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。

Prologue

1In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,

2until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.

3After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

4And while they were gathered together,He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.

5For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

The Ascension

6So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.

8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

9After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.

10They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

11“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”

Matthias Replaces Judas

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

13When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

14With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,

16“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.

17He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”

18(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.

19This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

20“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted;let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’

21Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

22beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

23So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.

24And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen

25to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”

26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias. So he was added to the eleven apostles.
