使徒行傳 19b-43

19b 掃羅和大馬士革的門徒同住了些日子， 20 就在各會堂裡宣傳耶穌，說他是神的兒子。 21 凡聽見的人都驚奇，說：「在耶路撒冷殘害求告這名的，不是這人嗎？並且他到這裡來，特要捆綁他們，帶到祭司長那裡！」 22 但掃羅越發有能力，駁倒住大馬士革的猶太人，證明耶穌是基督。

23 過了好些日子，猶太人商議要殺掃羅， 24 但他們的計謀被掃羅知道了。他們又晝夜在城門守候，要殺他。 25 他的門徒就在夜間用筐子把他從城牆上縋下去。 26 掃羅到了耶路撒冷，想與門徒結交，他們卻都怕他，不信他是門徒。 27 唯有巴拿巴接待他，領去見使徒，把他在路上怎麼看見主，主怎麼向他說話，他在大馬士革怎麼奉耶穌的名放膽傳道，都述說出來。 28 於是掃羅在耶路撒冷和門徒出入來往， 29 奉主的名放膽傳道，並與說希臘話的猶太人講論辯駁。他們卻想法子要殺他。

30 弟兄們知道了，就送他下愷撒利亞，打發他往大數去。

31 那時，猶太、加利利、撒馬利亞各處的教會都得平安，被建立，凡事敬畏主，蒙聖靈的安慰，人數就增多了。

32 彼得周流四方的時候，也到了居住呂大的聖徒那裡。 33 遇見一個人名叫以尼雅，得了癱瘓，在褥子上躺臥八年。 34 彼得對他說：「以尼雅，耶穌基督醫好你了。起來，收拾你的褥子！」他就立刻起來了。 35 凡住呂大和沙崙的人都看見了他，就歸服主。

36 在約帕有一個女徒，名叫大比大，翻希臘話就是多加。她廣行善事，多施賙濟。 37 當時，她患病而死，有人把她洗了，停在樓上。 38 呂大原與約帕相近，門徒聽見彼得在那裡，就打發兩個人去見他，央求他說：「快到我們那裡去，不要耽延！」 39 彼得就起身和他們同去。到了，便有人領他上樓。眾寡婦都站在彼得旁邊哭，拿多加與她們同在時所做的裡衣外衣給他看。 40 彼得叫她們都出去，就跪下禱告，轉身對著死人說：「大比大，起來！」她就睜開眼睛，見了彼得，便坐起來。 41 彼得伸手扶她起來，叫眾聖徒和寡婦進去，把多加活活地交給他們。 42 這事傳遍了約帕，就有許多人信了主。 43 此後，彼得在約帕一個硝皮匠西門的家裡住了多日。

Acts 9:19b-43

19b Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

20 Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, “Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

23 Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him. 24 But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 So he was with them at Jerusalem, coming in and going out. 29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to kill him. 30 When the brethren found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him out to Tarsus.

31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. 33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately. 35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. 37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. 38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 41 Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. 43 So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.
