使徒行传 5
欺骗圣灵
1 有一个名叫阿纳尼亚的人，和他的妻子萨菲拉卖掉了财产。2 但他从价款中私自留下了一部分，把一部分拿来放在使徒们的脚前；他的妻子也知道这事。
3 彼得就说：“阿纳尼亚，为什么撒旦充满了你的心，使你对圣灵说谎，从田产的价款中私自留下一些呢？4 田产留着没卖t的时候，难道不属于你的吗？卖了以后，价款难道不也是由你做主吗？你心里为什么存有这种念头呢？你不是对人说谎，而是对神说谎了。”5 阿纳尼亚听见这话，就仆倒断了气；所有听到这事的人都大为恐惧。6 有几个年轻人站起来，把他的尸体t裹好，抬出去埋葬了。
7 隔了大约三个小时，阿纳尼亚的妻子进来，还不知道所发生的事。
8 彼得问她：“告诉我，你们卖田产的钱，是不是这么多？”
她说：“是的，就这么多。”
9 彼得就对她说：“你们为什么同心试探主的灵呢？看，埋葬你丈夫之人的脚，已经到门口了，他们也要把你抬出去。”
10 她立刻仆倒在彼得脚前，断了气。那些年轻人进来，看见她死了，也把她抬了出去，埋葬在她丈夫的旁边。11 全教会和所有听到这些事的人都大为恐惧。
使徒们的神迹奇事
12 主藉着使徒们的手，在民间行了很多神迹和奇事。t信徒们t都同心合意地聚集t在所罗门柱廊里。13 虽然其他的人没有一个敢与他们交往t，但民众都尊敬他们。14 信主的人越发增加，连男带女成群结队。15 人们甚至把病人抬到大街t上来，放在床榻上或垫子上，为要在彼得走过来的时候，至少他的影子可以落在一些人身上。16 还有一群人带着病人和被污灵折磨的人，从耶路撒冷周围的城镇聚集而来，这些人都得了痊愈。
进出监狱
17 于是大祭司就采取行动。他和所有与他在一起的人，就是撒都该教派的人，都满腔嫉妒，18 下手捉拿使徒们，把他们关在公众拘留所里。19 但在夜里，主的一位天使打开了监门，领他们出来，说：20 “你们去站在圣殿里，把这生命的话语，都讲给民众听。”
使徒们再次受审
21 他们听从这话，在清晨的时候就进入圣殿教导人。这时，大祭司和与他在一起的人来了，他们召集了议会，就是以色列子民长老的全体议会，然后派人到监狱里，要把使徒们带来。22 但差役们到了监狱里，却找不到他们，就回去报告，23 说：“我们看见监狱被关得极其稳妥，卫兵都站在各个门口，可是打开那些门，里面却找不到任何人。”24 当t圣殿的守卫长t和祭司长们听到这些话的时候，就对使徒们的事感到困惑，不知道这事会如何发展。
25 这时，有人来向他们报告说：“看，你们关在监狱里的那些人，正站在圣殿里教导民众呢！”26 于是守卫长与差役们一起去把使徒们带来，并没有用暴力，因为怕民众用石头砸他们。27 他们把使徒们带来后，叫他们站在议会当中。大祭司质问他们，28 说：“我们不是严厉地吩咐你们，不可奉这个人的名教导人吗？可是看哪，你们把你们的教导传遍了耶路撒冷，又想把这个人的血归到我们身上。”
29 彼得和使徒们回答说：“我们必须顺从神过于顺从人。30 你们挂在木头上杀害的耶稣，我们祖先的神已经使他复活了。31 神把这一位高举在自己右边做元首、做救主，为了将悔改的心赐给以色列，使罪得赦免。32 我们就是这些事的见证人。神所赐给那些顺从他之人的圣灵也一同做见证。”
迦玛列的建议
33 议会的人听了，勃然大怒t，就想要杀了他们。34 但有一个名叫迦玛列的法利赛人，是全体民众所尊敬的律法教师，在议会中站了起来，下令把使徒们t暂时带到外面去，35 就对大家说：“各位以色列人哪，如何处置这些人，你们应当谨慎。36 因为这些日子之前，提乌达起来说自己是某某人物，跟从他的人数约有四百。这人被杀了以后，所有信从他的人都四散了，归于无有。37 这人以后，在户口登记期间又有个加利利人犹大起来，拉拢民众t跟随他。他也死了，所有信从他的人也都四散了。38 现在我告诉你们：不要管这些人，由他们去吧！因为这计划或这行为，如果是出于人，就会被拆毁；39 但如果是出于神，你们就不能拆毁他们，恐怕你们反而被看做是与神作对了。”于是议会的人被迦玛列说服了，40 就叫来使徒们，鞭打了以后，吩咐他们不可再奉耶稣的名讲说，然后把他们释放了。41 这样使徒们就快快乐乐地离开了议会，因为算是配得上为这名受凌辱。42 他们每天在圣殿和各家各户不住地教导人，传福音说耶稣是基督。
Acts 5
The Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.2 Het kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he broughtt only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filleds your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale oft the land?
4 Before it was sold,t did it nott belong to you? And when it was sold, was the moneyt not at your disposal? How have you thought up this deed in your heart?t You have not lied to peoplet but to God!”
5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear grippedt all who heard about it.6 So the young men came,t wrapped him up,t carried him out, and burieds him.7 After an interval of about three hours,t his wife came in, but she did not knowt what had happened.8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of yout paid this amountt for the land?” Sapphirat said, “Yes, that much.”9 Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”10 At oncet she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Greatt fear grippedt the whole churchs and all who heard about these things.
The Apostles Perform Miraculous Signs and Wonders
12 Now many miraculous signst and wonders came about among the people through the hands of the apostles. Byt common consentt they were all meeting together in Solomon’s Portico.ts13 None of the rest dared to join them,t but the people held them in high honor.t14 More and more believers in the Lord were added to their number,t crowds of both men and women.15 Thust they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them.
16 A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalems also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits.s Theyt were alls being healed.
Further Trouble for the Apostles
17 Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadduceess),s and they were filled with jealousy.s18 Theyt laid hands ont the apostles and put them in a public jail.19 But during the night an angel of the Lordt openedt the doors of the prison,t led them out,ts and said,20 “Go and stand in the temple courtst and proclaimt to the people all the words of this life.”
21 When they heard this, they entered the temple courtst at daybreak and began teaching.t
Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrint – that is, the whole high councilt of the Israelitest – and sent to the jail to have the apostlest brought before them.t22 But the officerst who came for themt did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,t23 “We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them,t we found no one inside.”24 Now when the commandert of the temple guardt and the chief priests heard this report,t they were greatly puzzled concerning it,t wondering what this couldt be.25 But someone came and reported to them, “Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courtst and teachings the people!”
26 Then the commandert of the temple guardt went with the officerst and brought the apostlest without the use of forcet (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).t
27 When they had brought them, they stood them before the council,t and the high priest questionedt them,28 saying, “We gaves you strict orderst not to teach in this name.s Look,t you have filled Jerusalems with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s bloods on us!”29 But Peter and the apostles replied,t “We must obeys God rather than people.t30 The God of our forefatherst raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree.t31 God exalted himt to his right hand as Leadert and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.t
32 And we are witnesses of these events,t and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obeys him.”
33 Now when they heard this, they became furiouss and wanted to execute them.s34 But a Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel,s a teacher of the law who was respected by all the people, stood upt in the councilt and ordered the men to be put outside for a short time.35 Then he said to the council,t “Men of Israel,t pay close attention tot what you are about to do to these men.36 For some time agot Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. Het was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and nothing came of it.t37 After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census,t and incited people to follow him in revolt.t He too was killed, and all who followed him were scattered.38 So in this case I say to you, stay away from these men and leave them alone, because if this plan or this undertaking originates with people,t it will come to nothing,t39 but ift it is from God, you will not be able to stop them, or you may even be foundt fighting against God.” He convinced them,t40 and they summoned the apostles and had them beaten.s Thent they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.41 So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthys to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.s
42 And every day both in the temple courtst and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good newst that Jesus was the Christ.ts
