Acts

彼得、约翰在公会被查问

1使徒对百姓说话的时候，祭司们和守殿官，并撒都该人忽然来了。

2因他们教训百姓，本着耶稣，传说死人复活，就很烦恼，

3于是下手拿住他们；因为天已经晚了，就把他们押到第二天。

4但听道之人有许多信的，男丁数目约到五千。

5第二天，官府、长老，和文士在耶路撒冷聚会，

6又有大祭司亚那和该亚法、约翰、亚历山大，并大祭司的亲族都在那里，

7叫使徒站在当中，就问他们说：「你们用什么能力，奉谁的名做这事呢？」

8那时彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：

9「治民的官府和长老啊，倘若今日因为在残疾人身上所行的善事查问我们他是怎么得了痊愈，

10你们众人和以色列百姓都当知道，站在你们面前的这人得痊愈是因你们所钉十字架、 神叫他从死里复活的拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。

11他是你们匠人所弃的石头， 已成了房角的头块石头。

12除他以外，别无拯救；因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救。」

13他们见彼得、约翰的胆量，又看出他们原是没有学问的小民，就希奇，认明他们是跟过耶稣的；

14又看见那治好了的人和他们一同站着，就无话可驳。

15于是吩咐他们从公会出去，就彼此商议说：

16「我们当怎样办这两个人呢？因为他们诚然行了一件明显的神迹，凡住耶路撒冷的人都知道，我们也不能说没有。

17惟恐这事越发传扬在民间，我们必须恐吓他们，叫他们不再奉这名对人讲论。」

18于是叫了他们来，禁止他们总不可奉耶稣的名讲论教训人。

19彼得、约翰说：「听从你们，不听从 神，这在 神面前合理不合理，你们自己酌量吧！

20我们所看见所听见的，不能不说。」

21官长为百姓的缘故，想不出法子刑罚他们，又恐吓一番，把他们释放了。这是因众人为所行的奇事都归荣耀与 神。

22原来借着神迹医好的那人有四十多岁了。

门徒求主赐胆量

23二人既被释放，就到会友那里去，把祭司长和长老所说的话都告诉他们。

24他们听见了，就同心合意地高声向 神说：「主啊！你是造天、地、海，和其中万物的，

25你曾借着圣灵，托你仆人—我们祖宗大卫的口，说：外邦为什么争闹？ 万民为什么谋算虚妄的事？

26世上的君王一齐起来， 臣宰也聚集， 要敌挡主， 并主的受膏者。

27希律和本丢·彼拉多，外邦人和以色列民，果然在这城里聚集，要攻打你所膏的圣仆耶稣，

28成就你手和你意旨所预定必有的事。

29他们恐吓我们，现在求主鉴察，一面叫你仆人大放胆量讲你的道，一面伸出你的手来医治疾病，并且使神迹奇事因着你圣仆耶稣的名行出来。」

31祷告完了，聚会的地方震动，他们就都被圣灵充满，放胆讲论 神的道。

凡物公用

32那许多信的人都是一心一意的，没有一人说他的东西有一样是自己的，都是大家公用。

33使徒大有能力，见证主耶稣复活；众人也都蒙大恩。

34内中也没有一个缺乏的；因为人人将田产房屋都卖了，把所卖的价银拿来，

35放在使徒脚前，照各人所需用的，分给各人。

36有一个利未人，生在塞浦路斯，名叫约瑟，使徒称他为巴拿巴（巴拿巴翻出来就是劝慰子）。

37他有田地，也卖了，把价银拿来，放在使徒脚前。

1And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —

2being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —

3and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;

4and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

5And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,

6and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,

7and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'

8Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,

10be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

11'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;

12and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

13And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —

14and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],

15and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,

16saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];

17but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'

18And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

19and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

20for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

21And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,

22for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

23And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them,

24and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,

25who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

26the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

27for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

28to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

29'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

30in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

31And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

32and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

33And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,

34for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

35and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

36And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,

37a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
