Acts

1And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;

2and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;

3and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;

4they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.

5And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,

6the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,

7for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,

8and there was great joy in that city.

9And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,

10to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'

11and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.

12And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

13and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

14And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,

15who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —

16for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;

17then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,

19saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'

20And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;

21thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;

22reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

23for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'

24And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'

25They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.

26And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.

27And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;

28he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

29And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'

30and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'

31and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.

32And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;

33in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'

34And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'

35and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.

36And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'

37[And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']

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

39and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;

40and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.

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。
