Acts

扫罗逼迫教会

1从这日起，耶路撒冷的教会大遭逼迫，除了使徒以外，门徒都分散在犹太和撒马利亚各处。

2有虔诚的人把司提反埋葬了，为他捶胸大哭。

3扫罗却残害教会，进各人的家，拉着男女下在监里。

福音传到撒马利亚

4那些分散的人往各处去传道。

5腓利下撒马利亚城去，宣讲基督。

6众人听见了，又看见腓利所行的神迹，就同心合意地听从他的话。

7因为有许多人被污鬼附着，那些鬼大声呼叫，从他们身上出来；还有许多瘫痪的、瘸腿的，都得了医治。

8在那城里，就大有欢喜。

9有一个人，名叫西门，向来在那城里行邪术，妄自尊大，使撒马利亚的百姓惊奇；

10无论大小都听从他，说：「这人就是那称为 神的大能者。」

11他们听从他，因他久用邪术，使他们惊奇。

12及至他们信了腓利所传 神国的福音和耶稣基督的名，连男带女就受了洗。

13西门自己也信了；既受了洗，就常与腓利在一处，看见他所行的神迹和大异能，就甚惊奇。

14使徒在耶路撒冷听见撒马利亚人领受了 神的道，就打发彼得、约翰往他们那里去。

15两个人到了，就为他们祷告，要叫他们受圣灵。

16因为圣灵还没有降在他们一个人身上，他们只奉主耶稣的名受了洗。

17于是使徒按手在他们头上，他们就受了圣灵。

18西门看见使徒按手，便有圣灵赐下，就拿钱给使徒，

19说：「把这权柄也给我，叫我手按着谁，谁就可以受圣灵。」

20彼得说：「你的银子和你一同灭亡吧！因你想 神的恩赐是可以用钱买的。

21你在这道上无分无关；因为在 神面前，你的心不正。

22你当懊悔你这罪恶，祈求主，或者你心里的意念可得赦免。

23我看出你正在苦胆之中，被罪恶捆绑。」

24西门说：「愿你们为我求主，叫你们所说的，没有一样临到我身上。」

25使徒既证明主道，而且传讲，就回耶路撒冷去，一路在撒马利亚好些村庄传扬福音。

腓利和衣索匹亚的太监

26有主的一个使者对腓利说：「起来！向南走，往那从耶路撒冷下迦萨的路上去。」那路是旷野。

27腓利就起身去了，不料，有一个衣索匹亚人，是个有大权的太监，在衣索匹亚女王甘大基的手下总管银库，他上耶路撒冷礼拜去了。

28现在回来，在车上坐着，念先知以赛亚的书。

29圣灵对腓利说：「你去！贴近那车走。」

30腓利就跑到太监那里，听见他念先知以赛亚的书，便问他说：「你所念的，你明白吗？」

31他说：「没有人指教我，怎能明白呢？」于是请腓利上车，与他同坐。

32他所念的那段经，说：他像羊被牵到宰杀之地， 又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下无声； 他也是这样不开口。

33他卑微的时候， 人不按公义审判他； 谁能述说他的世代？ 因为他的生命从地上夺去。

34太监对腓利说：「请问，先知说这话是指着谁？是指着自己呢？是指着别人呢？」

35腓利就开口从这经上起，对他传讲耶稣。

36二人正往前走，到了有水的地方，太监说：「看哪，这里有水，我受洗有什么妨碍呢？」

38于是吩咐车站住，腓利和太监二人同下水里去，腓利就给他施洗。

39从水里上来，主的灵把腓利提了去，太监也不再见他了，就欢欢喜喜地走路。

40后来有人在亚锁都遇见腓利；他走遍那地方，在各城宣传福音，直到凯撒利亚。

1And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.

2And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.

3But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.

4They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.

5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.

6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.

7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.

8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.

9There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:

10To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.

11And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.

12But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

13Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.

14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.

15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.

16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

18And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

19Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:

20Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

21Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

22Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

23For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.

24Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.

25And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.

26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.

27And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.

28And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.

29And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?

31Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

32And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.

33In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?

34And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?

35Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

36And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?

37And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.

39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.

40But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
