使徒行传 18

在哥林多

1 此后，保罗离开雅典，来到哥林多，2 遇见一个生在本都的犹太人，名叫亚居拉。因为革老丢下令所有的犹太人都要离开罗马，所以亚居拉最近同他的妻子百基拉从意大利来了，保罗就去找他们。3 他们是以做帐棚为业的，因为是同业，保罗就与他们同住，一同工作。4 每逢安息日，保罗在会堂辩论，劝导犹太人和希腊人归主。5 西拉和提摩太从马其顿下来的时候，保罗就专心传扬主的道，向犹太人极力证明耶稣是基督。6 但是他们抗拒、亵渎，保罗就抖着衣服，对他们说：“你们的罪你们自己承担，这与我无关。从今以后，我要到外族人那里去了。”7 他离开那里，到了提多．犹士都的家去。这人是敬拜 神的，他的家靠近会堂。8 会堂主管基利司布和他全家都信了主，许多哥林多人也听了道，信了主，而且受了洗。9 夜里，主藉着异象对保罗说：“不要怕，只管讲，不要闭口！10 有我与你同在，必定没有人会攻击和伤害你，因为在这城里有许多属我的人。”11 保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，把 神的道教导他们。12 当迦流作亚该亚省长的时候，犹太人一致起来攻击保罗，拉他到审判台前，13 说：“这个人劝人不照着律法去敬拜 神。”14 保罗刚要开口，迦流就对犹太人说：“犹太人啊，如果有犯法或邪恶的罪行，我当然要耐心听你们；15 但所争论的若是关于字句、名称和你们的律法，你们就应当自己处理。我不愿意审判这件事！”16 于是就把他们从审判台前赶出去。17 众人揪住会堂主管苏提尼，在审判台前打他。这些事迦流一概不理。
结束第二次宣教旅程18 保罗住了许多日子，然后辞别弟兄们，坐船去叙利亚，同行的有百基拉和亚居拉。他因为许过愿，现在期满了，就在坚革里剃了头发。19 到了以弗所，保罗留他们在那里，自己却到会堂去，跟犹太人辩论。20 众人请他多住些时候，他没有答应，21 却辞别他们说：“ 神若许可，我还要回到你们这里来。”于是从以弗所开船去了。22 保罗在该撒利亚登岸，上耶路撒冷问候教会，然后下安提阿去。
第三次宣教旅程23 住了一些时候，他又动身，先后经过加拉太地区和弗吕家，坚固众门徒。
亚波罗在以弗所传道24 有一个生在亚历山太的犹太人，名叫亚波罗，来到了以弗所。他很有口才，擅长讲解圣经。25 这人在主的道上受过训练，心灵火热，很准确地讲论，并且教导人关于耶稣的事，但他只晓得约翰的洗礼。26 这人在会堂里放胆讲论起来；百基拉和亚居拉听了，就把他接来，把 神的道更准确地向他讲解。27 亚波罗有意要到亚该亚去，弟兄们就鼓励他，又写信请门徒接待他。他到了那里，对那些蒙恩信主的人帮助很多，28 因为他当众有力地驳倒犹太人，引用圣经证明耶稣是基督。

Acts 18

Paul at Corinth

1 After thist Pault departed fromt Athenss and went to Corinth.ss2 There het foundt a Jew named Aquila,s a native of Pontus,s who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudiuss had ordered all the Jews to depart fromt Rome.s Paul approachedt them,3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with themt (for they were tentmakerst by trade).s

4 He addressedt both Jews and Greeks in the synagogues every Sabbath, attempting to persuadet them.
5 Now when Silas and Timothy arrivedt from Macedonia,s Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaimingt the word, testifyingt to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.ts6 When they opposed himt and reviled him,t he protested by shaking out his clothests and said to them, “Your bloods be on your own heads! I am guiltless!t From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”7 Then Pault leftt the synagoguet and went to the house of a person named Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God,ts whose house was next door to the synagogue.8 Crispus, the president of the synagogue,t believed in the Lord together with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard about itt believed and were baptized.9 The Lord said to Paul by a visions in the night,t “Do not be afraid,t but speak and do not be silent,10 because I am with you, and no one will assaultt you to harmt you, because I have many people in this city.”

11 So he stayed theret a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.t

Paul Before the Proconsul Gallio

12 Now while Gallios was proconsuls of Achaia,s the Jews attacked Paul togethert and brought him before the judgment seat,ts13 saying, “This man is persuadingt people to worship God in a way contrary tot the law!”14 But just as Paul was about to speak,t Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy,t I would have been justified in accepting the complaintt of you Jews,t15 but since it concerns points of disagreementt about words and names and your own law, settlet it yourselves. I will not bet a judge of these things!”16 Then he had them forced awayt from the judgment seat.s

17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue,ts and began to beatt him in front of the judgment seat.s Yet none of these things were of any concernts to Gallio.

Paul Returns to Antioch in Syria

18 Paul, after stayingt many more days in Corinth,s said farewell tot the brothers and sailed away to Syria accompanied byt Priscilla and Aquila.s Het had his hair cut offt at Cenchreats because he had made a vow.s19 When they reached Ephesus,ss Pault left Priscilla and Aquilat behind there, but he himself wentt into the synagogues and addressedt the Jews.20 When they asked him to stay longer, he would not consent,s21 but said farewell tot them and added,t “I will come backt to you again if God wills.”t Thent he set sail from Ephesus,22 and when he arrivedt at Caesarea,ss he went up and greetedt the church at Jerusalemts and then went down to Antioch.ss

23 After he spentt some time there, Paul left and went through the region of Galatias and Phrygia,s strengthening all the disciples.

Apollos Begins His Ministry

24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus.s He was an eloquent speaker,t well-versedt in the scriptures.25 He had been instructed int the way of the Lord, and with great enthusiasmt he spoke and taught accurately the factst about Jesus, although he knewt only the baptism of John.26 He began to speak out fearlesslyt in the synagogue,s but when Priscilla and Aquilas heard him, they took him asidet and explained the way of God to him more accurately.27 When Apollost wanted to cross over to Achaia,s the brothers encouragedt himt and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, het assisted greatly those who had believed by grace,

28 for he refuted the Jews vigorouslyt in public debate,t demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christts was Jesus.t
