12：1那时，希律王手下苦害教会中几个人。
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church。
12：2用刀杀了约翰的哥哥雅各。
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword。
12：3他见犹太人喜欢这事，又去捉拿彼得。那时正是除酵的日子。
And because he saw it pleased the Jews； he proceeded further to take Peter also。 （Then were the days of unleavened bread。）
12：4希律拿了彼得收在监里，交付四班兵丁看守，每班四个人，意思要在逾越节后，把他提出来，当着百姓办他
And when he had apprehended him； he put him in prison； and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him； intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people。
12：5于是彼得被囚在监里。教会却为他切切的祷告神。
Peter therefore was kept in prison： but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him。
12：6希律将要提他出来的前一夜，彼得被两条铁链锁着，睡在两个兵丁当中。看守的人也在门外看守。
And when Herod would have brought him forth； the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers； bound with two chains： and the keepers before the door kept the prison。
12：7忽然有主的一个使者，站在旁边，屋里有光照耀。天使拍彼得的肋旁，拍醒了他，说，快快起来。那铁链就从他手上脱落下来。
And； behold； the angel of the Lord came upon him； and a light shined in the prison： and he smote Peter on the side； and raised him up； saying； Arise up quickly。 And his chains fell off from his hands。
12：8天使对他说，束上带子。穿上鞋。他就那样作。天使又说，披上外衣跟着我来。
And the angel said unto him； Gird thyself； and bind on thy sandals。 And so he did。 And he saith unto him； Cast thy garment about thee； and follow me。
12：9彼得就出来跟着他，不知道天使所作是真的，只当见了异象。
And he went out； and followed him； and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel； but thought he saw a vision。
12：10过了第一层，第二层监牢，就来到临街的铁门。那门自己开了。他们出来，走过一条街，天使便离开他去了。
When they were past the first and the second ward； they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city； which opened to them of his own accord： and they went out； and passed on through one street； and forthwith the angel departed from him。
12：11彼得醒悟过来，说，我现在真知道主差遣他的使者，救我脱离希律的手，和犹太百姓一切所盼望的。
And when Peter was e to himself； he said； Now I know of a surety； that the LORD hath sent his angel； and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod； and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews。
12：12想了一想，就往那称呼马可的约翰他母亲马利亚家去。在那里有好些人聚集祷告。
And when he had considered the thing； he came to the house of Mary the mother of John； whose surname was Mark； where many were gathered together praying。
12：13彼得敲外门，有一个使女，名叫罗大出来探听。
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate； a damsel came to hearken； named Rhoda。
12：14听见是彼得的声音，就欢喜的顾不得开门，跑进去告诉众人说，彼得站在门外。
And when she knew Peter's voice； she opened not the gate for gladness； but ran in； and told how Peter stood before the gate。
12：15他们说，你是疯了。使女极力的说，真是他。他们说，必是他的天使。
And they said unto her； Thou art mad。 But she constantly affirmed that it was even so。 Then said they； It is his angel。
12：16彼得不住的敲门。他们开了门，看见他，就甚惊奇。
But Peter continued knocking： and when they had opened the door； and saw him； they were astonished。
12：17彼得摆手，不要他们作声，就告诉他们主怎样领他出监。又说，你们把这事告诉雅各，和众弟兄。于是出去往别处去了。
But he； beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace； declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison。 And he said； Go shew these things unto James； and to the brethren。 And he departed； and went into another place。
12：18到了天亮，兵丁扰乱得很，不知道彼得往那里去了。
Now as soon as it was day； there was no small stir among the soldiers； what was bee of Peter。
12：19希律找他，找不着，就审问看守的人，吩咐把他们拉去杀了。后来希律离开犹太，下凯撒利亚去，住在那里。
And when Herod had sought for him； and found him not； he examined the keepers； and manded that they should be put to death。 And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea； and there abode。
12：20希律恼怒推罗西顿的人。他们那一块地方，是从王的地土得粮，因此就托了王的内侍臣伯拉斯都的情，一心来求和。
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon： but they came with one accord to him； and； having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend； desired peace； because their country was nourished by the king's country。
12：21希律在所定的日子，穿上朝服，坐在位上，对他们讲论一番。
And upon a set day Herod； arrayed in royal apparel； sat upon his throne； and made an oration unto them。
12：22百姓喊着说，这是神的声音，不是人的声音。
And the people gave a shout； saying； It is the voice of a god； and not of a man。
12：23希律不归荣耀给神，所以主的使者立刻罚他。他被虫所咬，气就绝了。
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him； because he gave not God the glory： and he was eaten of worms； and gave up the ghost。
12：24神的道日见兴旺，越发广传。
But the word of God grew and multiplied。
12：25巴拿巴和扫罗，办完了他们供给的事，就从耶路撒冷回来，带着称呼马可的约翰同去。
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem； when they had fulfilled their ministry； and took with them John； whose surname was Mark。
新约 使徒行传（Acts） 第 13 章 （ 本篇共有 28 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
13：1在安提阿的教会中，有几位先知和教师，就是巴拿巴，和称呼尼结的西面，古利奈人路求，与分封之王希律同养的马念，并扫罗。
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers； as Barnabas； and Simeon that was called Niger； and Lucius of Cyrene； and Manaen； which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch； and Saul。
13：2他们事奉主，禁食的时候，圣灵说，要为我分派巴拿巴和扫罗，去作我召他们所作的工。
As they ministered to the Lord； and fasted； the Holy Ghost said； Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them。
13：3于是禁食祷告，按手在他们头上，就打发他们去了。
And when they had fasted and prayed； and laid their hands on them； they sent them away。
13：4他们既被圣灵差遣，就下到西流基，从那里坐船往塞浦路斯去。
So they； being sent forth by the Holy Ghost； departed unto Seleucia； and from thence they sailed to Cyprus。
13：5到了撒拉米，就在犹太人各会堂里传讲神的道。也有约翰作他们的帮手。
And when they were at Salamis； they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews： and they had also John to their minister。
13：6经过全岛，直到帕弗，在那里遇见一个有法术假充先知的犹太人，名叫巴耶稣。
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos； they found a certain sorcerer； a false prophet； a Jew； whose name was Barjesus：
13：7这人常和方伯士求保罗同在，士求保罗是个通达人。他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来，要听神的道。
Which was with the deputy of the country； Sergius Paulus； a prudent man； who called for Barnabas and Saul； and desired to hear the word of God。
13：8只是那行法术的吕马，（这名翻出来就是行法术的意思）敌挡使徒，要叫方伯不信真道。
But Elymas the sorcerer （for so is his name by interpretation） withstood them； seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith。
13：9扫罗又名保罗，被圣灵充满定睛看他，
Then Saul； （who also is called Paul；） filled with the Holy Ghost； set his eyes on him；
13：10说，你这充满各样诡诈奸恶，魔鬼的儿子，众善得仇敌，你混乱主的正道还不止住吗。
And said； O full of all subtilty and all mischief； thou child of the devil； thou enemy of all righteousness； wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord？
13：11现在主的手加在你身上。你要瞎眼，暂且不见日光。他的眼睛立刻昏蒙黑暗，四下里求人拉着手领他。
And now； behold； the hand of the Lord is upon thee； and thou shalt be blind； not seeing the sun for a season。 And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness； and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand。
13：12方伯看见所作的事，很希奇主的道，就信了。
Then the deputy； when he saw what was done； believed； being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord。
13：13保罗和他的同人，从帕弗开船，来到旁非利亚的别加。约翰就离开他们回耶路撒冷去。
Now when Paul and his pany loosed from Paphos； they came to Perga in Pamphylia： and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem。
13：14他们离了别加往前行，来到彼西底的安提阿。在安息日进会堂作下。
But when they departed from Perga； they came to Antioch in Pisidia； and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day； and sat down。
13：15读完了律法先知的书，管会堂的叫人过去，对他们说，二位兄台，若有什么劝勉众人的话，请说。
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them； saying； Ye men and brethren； if ye have any word of exhortation for the people； say on。
13：16保罗就起来，举手说，以色列人，和一切敬畏神的人，请听。
Then Paul stood up； and beckoning with his hand said； Men of Israel； and ye that fear God； give audience。
13：17这以色列民的神，拣选了我们的祖宗，当民寄居埃及的时候，抬举他们，用大能的手领他们出来。
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers； and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt； and with an high arm brought he them out of it。
13：18又在旷野容忍他们约有四十年。（容忍或作抚养）
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness。
13：19既灭了迦南地七族的人，就把那地分给他们为业。
And when he had d
