使徒行传 9

扫罗的转变

（22·6—16；26·12—18）

1  扫罗仍然向主的门徒口吐威吓凶杀的话，去见大祭司， 2 求文书给大马士革的各会堂，若是找着信奉这道的人，无论男女，都准他捆绑带到耶路撒冷。 3 扫罗行路，将到大马士革，忽然从天上发光，四面照着他； 4 他就仆倒在地，听见有声音对他说：「扫罗！扫罗！你为什么逼迫我？」 5 他说：「主啊！你是谁？」主说：「我就是你所逼迫的耶稣。 6 起来！进城去，你所当做的事，必有人告诉你。」 7 同行的人站在那里，说不出话来，听见声音，却看不见人。 8 扫罗从地上起来，睁开眼睛，竟不能看见什么。有人拉他的手，领他进了大马士革； 9 三日不能看见，也不吃也不喝。

10 当下，在大马士革有一个门徒，名叫亚拿尼亚。主在异象中对他说：「亚拿尼亚。」他说：「主，我在这里。」 11 主对他说：「起来！往直街去，在犹大的家里，访问一个大数人，名叫扫罗。他正祷告， 12 又看见了一个人，名叫亚拿尼亚，进来按手在他身上，叫他能看见。」 13 亚拿尼亚回答说：「主啊，我听见许多人说，这人怎样在耶路撒冷多多苦害你的圣徒， 14 并且他在这里有从祭司长得来的权柄捆绑一切求告你名的人。」 15 主对亚拿尼亚说：「你只管去！他是我所拣选的器皿，要在外邦人和君王，并以色列人面前宣扬我的名。 16 我也要指示他，为我的名必须受许多的苦难。」 17 亚拿尼亚就去了，进入那家，把手按在扫罗身上，说：「兄弟扫罗，在你来的路上向你显现的主，就是耶稣，打发我来，叫你能看见，又被圣灵充满。」 18 扫罗的眼睛上，好像有鳞立刻掉下来，他就能看见。于是起来受了洗； 19 吃过饭就健壮了。

扫罗在大马士革传道

20 就在各会堂里宣传耶稣，说他是　神的儿子。 21 凡听见的人都惊奇，说：「在耶路撒冷残害求告这名的，不是这人吗？并且他到这里来，特要捆绑他们，带到祭司长那里。」 22 但扫罗越发有能力，驳倒住大马士革的犹太人，证明耶稣是基督。

未受犹太人的谋害

23 过了好些日子，犹太人商议要杀扫罗， 24 但他们的计谋被扫罗知道了。他们又昼夜在城门守候，要杀他。 25 他的门徒就在夜间用筐子把他从城墙上缒下去。

扫罗在耶路撒冷

26  扫罗到了耶路撒冷，想与门徒结交，他们却都怕他，不信他是门徒。 27 惟有巴拿巴接待他，领去见使徒，把他在路上怎么看见主，主怎么向他说话，他在大马士革怎么奉耶稣的名放胆传道，都述说出来。 28 于是扫罗在耶路撒冷和门徒出入来往， 29 奉主的名放胆传道，并与说希腊话的犹太人讲论辩驳；他们却想法子要杀他。 30 弟兄们知道了就送他下凯撒利亚，打发他往大数去。

31 那时，犹太、加利利、撒马利亚各处的教会都得平安，被建立；凡事敬畏主，蒙圣灵的安慰，人数就增多了。

以尼雅得医治

32  彼得周流四方的时候，也到了居住吕大的圣徒那里； 33 遇见一个人，名叫以尼雅，得了瘫痪，在褥子上躺卧八年。 34 彼得对他说：「以尼雅，耶稣基督医好你了，起来！收拾你的褥子。」他就立刻起来了。 35 凡住吕大和沙仑的人都看见了他，就归服主。

多加复活

36 在约帕有一个女徒，名叫大比大，翻希腊话就是多加t；她广行善事，多施周济。 37 当时，她患病而死，有人把她洗了，停在楼上。 38 吕大原与约帕相近；门徒听见彼得在那里，就打发两个人去见他，央求他说：「快到我们那里去，不要耽延。」 39 彼得就起身和他们同去；到了，便有人领他上楼。众寡妇都站在彼得旁边哭，拿多加与她们同在时所做的里衣外衣给他看。 40 彼得叫她们都出去，就跪下祷告，转身对着死人说：「大比大，起来！」她就睁开眼睛，见了彼得，便坐起来。 41 彼得伸手扶她起来，叫众圣徒和寡妇进去，把多加活活地交给他们。 42 这事传遍了约帕，就有许多人信了主。 43 此后，彼得在约帕一个硝皮匠西门的家里住了多日。

Acts 9

The Conversion of Saul

1 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threatst to murdert the Lord’s disciples, went to the high priest2 and requested letters from him to the synagoguess in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way,s either men or women, he could bring them as prisonerst to Jerusalem.ss3 As he was going along, approachingt Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashedt around him.4 Het fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul,t why are you persecuting me?”s5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” He replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!6 But stand upt and enter the city and you will be toldt what you must do.”7 (Now the ment who were traveling with him stood there speechless,t because they heard the voice but saw no one.)s8 So Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open,t he could see nothing.s Leading him by the hand, his companionst brought him into Damascus.

9 Fort three days he could not see, and he neither ate nor drank anything.t
10 Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. Thet Lords said to him in a vision, “Ananias,” and he replied, “Here I am,t Lord.”11 Then the Lord told him, “Get up and go to the street called ‘Straight,’s and at Judas’ house look for a man from Tarsus named Saul. For he is praying,12 and he has seen in a visionss a man named Ananias come in and place his hands on him so that he may see again.”13 But Ananias replied,s “Lord, I have heard from many peoplet about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem,14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to imprisont all who call on your name!”s15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrumentt to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel.t16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.”t17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, placedt his hands on Sault and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here,t has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”s18 Immediatelyt something like scalest fell from his eyes, and he could see again. Het got up and was baptized,

19 and after taking some food, his strength returned.
For several dayst he was with the disciples in Damascus,20 and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues,s saying, “This man is the Son of God.”ts21 Allt who heard him were amazed and were saying, “Is this nott the man who in Jerusalem was ravagingt those who call on this name, and who had come here to bring them as prisonerst to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul became more and more capable,t and was causing consternationt among the Jews who lived in Damascus by provingt that Jesust is the Christ.ts

Saul’s Escape from Damascus

23 Now after some days had passed, the Jews plotteds together to kill him,24 but Saul learned of their plot against him.t They were also watchingt the city gatest day and night so that they could kill him.

25 But his disciples took him at night and let him down through an openingt in the wall by lowering him in a basket.t

Saul Returns to Jerusalem

26 When he arrived in Jerusalem,s he attempted to associatet with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they did not believet that he was a disciple.27 But Barnabas tookt Saul,t broughtt him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, thatt the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldlyt in the name of Jesus.28 So he was staying with them, associating openly with themt in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.29 He was speaking and debatingt with the Greek-speaking Jews,t but they were trying to kill him.

30 When the brothers found out about this, they brought him down to Caesareass and sent him away to Tarsus.

31 Thent the church throughout Judea, Galilee,t and Samaria experiencedt peace and thus was strengthened.t Livingt in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, the churcht increased in numbers.

Peter Heals Aeneas

32 Nowt as Peter was traveling around from place to place,t he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda.s33 He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years becauset he was paralyzed.34 Petert said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christst heals you. Get up and make your own bed!”t And immediately he got up.

35 Allt those who lived in Lyddas and Sharons saw him, and theyt turneds to the Lord.

Peter Raises Dorcas

36 Now in Joppas there was a disciple named Tabitha (which in translation meanst Dorcas).s She was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity.t37 At that timet she became sickt and died. When they had washedt her body,t they placed it in an upstairs room.38 Because Lyddas was near Joppa, when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Come to us without delay.”t39 So Peter got up and went with them, andt when he arrivedt they brought him to the upper room. Allt the widows stood beside him, crying and showing himt the tunicst and other clothingt Dorcas used to maket while she was with them.40 But Peter sent them all outside,t knelt down,t and prayed. Turningt to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.s41 He gavet her his hand and helped her get up. Then he calledt the saints and widows and presented her alive.42 This became known throughout allt Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.s

43 Sot Petert stayed many days in Joppa with a man namedt Simon, a tanner.t
