使徒行傳 ACTS 20 : 1 - 38




使徒行傳  ACTS  20 : 1 - 38



20:1 亂定之後,保羅photo請門徒來,勸勉他們,就辭別起行,往馬其頓site去。
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them , and departed for to go into Macedonia.
 
20:2 走遍了那一帶地方,用許多話勸勉門徒(或作:眾人),然後來到希臘site
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
 
20:3 在那裡住了三個月,將要坐船往敘利亞去,猶太site人設計要害他,他就定意從馬其頓site回去。
And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
 
20:4 同他到亞細亞site去的,有庇哩亞人畢羅斯的兒子所巴特,帖撒羅尼迦人亞里達古和西公都,還有特庇site人該猶,並提摩太,又有亞細亞site人推基古和特羅非摩。
And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
 
20:5 這些人先走,在特羅亞site等候我們。
These going before tarried for us at Troas.
 
20:6 過了除酵的日子,我們從腓立比photosite開船,五天到了特羅亞site,和他們相會,在那裡住了七天。
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
 
20:7 七日的第一日,我們聚會擘餅photo的時候,保羅photo因為要次日起行,就與他們講論,直講到半夜。
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
20:8
我們聚會的那座樓上,有好些燈photo燭。
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
 
20:9 有一個少年人,名叫猶推古,坐在窗臺上,困倦沉睡。保羅photo講了多時,少年人睡熟了,就從三層樓上掉下去;扶起他來,已經死了。
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
 
20:10 保羅photo下去,伏在他身上,抱著他,說:你們不要發慌,他的靈魂還在身上。
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
 
20:11 保羅又上去,擘餅photo,吃了,談論許久,直到天亮,這才走了。
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
20:12 有人把那童子活活的領來,得的安慰不小。
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
 
20:13 我們先上船,開往亞朔site去,意思要在那裡接保羅photo;因為他是這樣安排的,他自己打算要步行。
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
 
20:14 他既在亞朔site與我們相會,我們就接他上船,來到米推利尼site
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
 
20:15 從那裡開船,次日到了基阿site的對面;又次日,在撒摩site靠岸;又次日,來到米利都site
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
 
20:16 乃因保羅photo早已定意越過以弗所site,免得在亞細亞site耽延,他急忙前走,巴不得趕五旬節能到耶路撒冷photosite
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
 
20:17 保羅從米利都site打發人往以弗所site去,請教會的長老來。
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
 
20:18 他們來了,保羅就說:你們知道,自從我到亞細亞site的日子以來,在你們中間始終為人如何,
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

20:19 服事主,凡事謙卑,眼中流淚,又因猶太人的謀害,經歷試煉。
Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20:20 你們也知道,凡與你們有益的,我沒有一樣避諱不說的,或在眾人面前,或在各人家裡,我都教導你們;
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you , but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
20:21
又對猶太site人和希臘site人證明當向 神悔改,信靠我主耶穌基督。
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

20:22 現在我往耶路撒冷去,心甚迫切(原文是心被捆綁),不知道在那裡要遇見甚麼事;
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

20:23 但知道聖靈在各城裡向我指證,說有捆鎖與患難等待我。
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. abide me: or, wait for me

20:24 我卻不以性命為念,也不看為寶貴,只要行完我的路程,成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事,證明 神恩惠的福音。
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
20:25 我素常在你們中間來往,傳講 神國的道;如今我曉得,你們以後都不得再見我的面了。
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

20:26 所以我今日向你們證明,你們中間無論何人死亡,罪不在我身上(原文是我於眾人的血是潔淨的)。
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men .

20:27 因為 神的旨意,我並沒有一樣避諱不傳給你們的。
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

20:28 聖靈立你們作全群的監督,你們就當為自己謹慎,也為全群謹慎,牧養 神的教會,就是他用自己血所買來的(或作:救贖的)。
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
20:29 我知道,我去之後必有兇暴的豺狼進入你們中間,不愛惜羊群。
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

20:30 就是你們中間,也必有人起來說悖謬的話,要引誘門徒跟從他們。
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

20:31 所以你們應當儆醒,記念我三年之久晝夜不住的流淚、勸戒你們各人。
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

20:32 如今我把你們交託 神和他恩惠的道;這道能建立你們,叫你們和一切成聖的人同得基業。
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
 
20:33 我未曾貪圖一個人的金、銀、衣服。
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
20:34 我這兩隻手常供給我和同人的需用,這是你們自己知道的。
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

20:35 我凡事給你們作榜樣,叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦,扶助軟弱的人,又當記念主耶穌的話,說:施比受更為有福。
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
20:36 保羅說完了這話,就跪下同眾人禱告。
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
 
20:37 眾人痛哭,抱著保羅photo的頸項,和他親嘴。
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,

20:38 叫他們最傷心的,就是他說:以後不能再見我的面那句話,於是送他上船去了。
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

所書  Ephesians  1 : 4 - 10

1:4 就如 神从创立世界以前,在基督里拣选了我们,使我们在他面前成为圣洁,无有瑕疵;
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

1:5 又因爱我们,就按著自己意旨所喜悦的,预定我们藉著耶稣基督得儿子的名分,
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

1:6 使他荣耀的恩典得著称赞;这恩典是他在爱子里所赐给我们的。
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
 
1:7 我们藉这爱子的血得蒙救赎,过犯得以赦免,乃是照他丰富的恩典。
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

1:8 这恩典是 神用诸般智慧聪明,充充足足赏给我们的;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

1:9 都是照他自己所预定的美意,叫我们知道他旨意的奥秘,
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

1:10 要照所安排的,在日期满足的时候,使天上、地上、一切所有的都在基督里面同归於一。
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: heaven: Gr. the heavens

愿上帝的话成为我们一生的帮助

救主耶稣的手调度万有

4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
 
4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. It...: or, For it is
 
4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
 
4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
 
4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” —James 4 :15

Bible in a Year : Psalms 40 - 42

Life is full of surprises—some of which take life in unwelcome directions.

I still remember the shockwave that hit our family several decades ago when my father lost his job through no fault of his own.

With a house full of kids to feed, it was a jarring blow.
But as certainly as Dad’s job loss was beyond his control and unexpected, he still knew he could trust God for his future.

As Jesus’ followers, we must recognize that there are things in life that are the “uncontrollable unexpected,” as I call them.

To help us in those moments, James 4:13-15 offers this wisdom: 

Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; 

whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. . . . Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’ ”

The people to whom James was writing were making plans while excluding God’s prerogative to direct their lives.

Is it wrong to plan for the future? Of course not.

It is unwise, however, to forget that God may allow some “uncontrollable unexpected” events as He sees fit.
Ultimately, all that happens is for the best—even when it’s hard to see.

We must trust Him and His plans for our future.

I know who holds the future,
 
And I know who holds my hand;
 
With God things don’t just happen—
 
Everything by Him is planned. —A. Smith

We may not know what the future holds, but we can trust the One who holds the future.

愿上帝的话成为我们一生的帮助

罗马书  Romans  10 : 15 

若没有奉差遣,怎能传道呢?如经上所记:报福音、传喜信的人,他们的脚踪何等佳美。


And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!


世界一切没有可存留带得走    
只有永恒的生命是今生的盼望


喜乐平安    来自过简朴生活    


亲近救主耶稣    读圣经   唱圣诗    祈祷
 
任何艰难    倚靠神的話   
安慰陪伴    必安然渡过


要信靠救主耶稣的话    永不改变   
不要倚赖不定的人    期望会落空

Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins. —Psalms 19 : 13

Bible in a Year :  Psalms 34-36

As a boy, I used to ride a go-cart that was steered with a rope.

On one occasion, as I propelled my way down the driveway, my parents’ warning came to mind: “Always look up and down the street for cars.”

But I rationalized: It’s okay not to do that just this once.
 Then I heard the sound of screeching tires as a car came to an abrupt stop to avoid hitting me.

Thinking I could break my parents’ rule nearly cost me my life.

The Bible has many examples of those who knew better but who chose to break God’s rules. 
From boyhood, David had meditated on the law of God while he tended his sheep.

He knew that the seventh commandment 
condemned adultery, yet when he saw a beautiful woman bathing he used his royal power to take the wife of Uriah for his own.

This sin resulted in terrible consequences ( 2  Samuel  11–12 ).

The psalmist wrote: “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins” (Psalms 19 : 13 ). 

Have you felt tempted to do something “just this once” even though you knew it was wrong?

Glancing at Internet pornography, “borrowing” money from an account at work, or stretching the truth may each seem like an isolated activity but can lead to terrible consequences.

With God’s help, turn from sin and find His way of escape ( 1 Corinthians  10 : 13 ).

Prone to wander—Lord, I feel it;
 

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
 
Seal it for Thy courts above. —Robinson

Temptations will knock at your door; don’t ask them to stay for dinner!

腓立比書 Philippians 3 : 13 - 14


腓立比書    3  : 13 - 14

3:13 弟兄們,我不是以為自己已經得著了;我只有一件事,就是忘記背後,努力面前的,

3:14 向著標竿直跑,要得 神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。



Philippians  3  : 13 - 14

3:13   Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do , forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

3:14   I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
