全新四年樂活讀經
W4 2011-06-23 (徒18)
經文: 使徒行傳 18:5-6 西拉和提摩太從馬其頓來的時候，保羅為道迫切，向猶太人證明耶穌是基督。他們既抗拒、毀謗，保羅就抖著衣裳，說：「你們的罪﹝原文作血﹞歸到你們自己頭上，與我無干（原文作我卻乾淨）。從今以後，我要往外邦人那裡去。」
默想: 使徒保羅在大馬色蒙恩得救時，同時也接受上帝的呼召，就是要成為向外邦人傳福音的使徒 (徒13:47, 22:21; 羅11:13, 15:16; 加1:16, 2:8-9)。但是，在這裡我們卻看到，保羅對於在外邦的猶太人，還是很有傳福音的負擔。就像保羅在羅馬書第九章2-3節所說的：我是大有憂愁，心裡時常傷痛；為我弟兄，我骨肉之親，就是自己被咒詛，與基督分離，我也願意。保羅到了歌林多城時，還是優先考慮前往猶太人的會堂傳揚耶穌基督的福音。一直到保羅在猶太會堂中被拒絕與排斥之後，保羅才很生氣的抖衣裳說：從今以後，我要往外邦人那裡去，傳揚耶穌基督的福音。這就好像主耶穌最初的一百二十位在耶路撒冷禱告等候的第一代門徒一樣。他們雖然等到了五旬節，得到了聖靈降臨充滿的經歷，而且傳福音大有功效。但是他們卻一直停留在耶路撒冷，並沒有遵照主耶穌升天以前的吩咐，從耶路撒冷、猶太全地、撒瑪利亞、直到地極，為主作見證。他們一直等到司提反為主成為第一位殉道士，而且整個教會大受逼迫之後，才離開耶路撒冷，四散到猶太全地，以及撒瑪利亞。看來使徒保羅，也有相似的現象。我們自己在傳福音的使命上面，是否有會有相似的躊躇與拖延呢
題目: v.24-28 亞波羅是誰？他的侍奉態度如何？有何我們學習的地方
18:1 這事以後，保羅離了雅典，來到哥林多。
After this he left Athens and went to Corinth.
18:2 遇見一個猶太人，名叫亞居拉，他生在本都；因為革老丟命猶太人都離開羅馬，新近帶著妻百基拉，從意大利來。保羅就投奔了他們。
And he found a Jew named Aq'uila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them;
18:3 他們本是製造帳棚為業。保羅因與他們同業，就和他們同住做工。
and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked, for by trade they were tentmakers.
18:4 每逢安息日，保羅在會堂裡辯論，勸化猶太人和希臘人。
And he argued in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
18:5 西拉和提摩太從馬其頓來的時候，保羅為道迫切，向猶太人證明耶穌是基督。
When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedo'nia, Paul was occupied with preaching, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
18:6 他們既抗拒、毀謗，保羅就抖著衣裳，說：你們的罪（原文作血）歸到你們自己頭上，與我無干（原文是我卻乾淨）。從今以後，我要往外邦人那裡去。
And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
18:7 於是離開那裡，到了一個人的家中；這人名叫提多猶士都，是敬拜 神的，他的家靠近會堂。
And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God; his house was next door to the synagogue.
18:8 管會堂的基利司布和全家都信了主，還有許多哥林多人聽了，就相信受洗。
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all his household; and many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.
18:9 夜間，主在異象中對保羅說：不要怕，只管講，不要閉口，
And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
18:10 有我與你同在，必沒有人下手害你，因為在這城裡我有許多的百姓。
for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you; for I have many people in this city."
18:11 保羅在那裡住了一年零六個月，將 神的道教訓他們。
And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
18:12 到迦流作亞該亞方伯的時候，猶太人同心起來攻擊保羅，拉他到公堂，
But when Gallio was proconsul of Acha'ia, the Jews made a united attack upon Paul and brought him before the tribunal,
18:13 說：這個人勸人不按著律法敬拜 神。
saying, "This man is persuading men to worship God contrary to the law."
18:14 保羅剛要開口，迦流就對猶太人說：你們這些猶太人！如果是為冤枉或奸惡的事，我理當耐性聽你們。
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, I should have reason to bear with you, O Jews;
18:15 但所爭論的，若是關乎言語、名目，和你們的律法，你們自己去辦吧！這樣的事我不願意審問；
but since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; I refuse to be a judge of these things."
18:16 就把他們攆出公堂。
And he drove them from the tribunal.
18:17 眾人便揪住管會堂的所提尼，在堂前打他。這些事迦流都不管。
And they all seized Sos'thenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to this.
18:18 保羅又住了多日，就辭別了弟兄，坐船往敘利亞去；百基拉、亞居拉和他同去。他因為許過願，就在堅革哩剪了頭髮。
After this Paul stayed many days longer, and then took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aq'uila. At Cen'chre-ae he cut his hair, for he had a vow.
18:19 到了以弗所，保羅就把他們留在那裡，自己進了會堂，和猶太人辯論。
And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue and argued with the Jews.
18:20 眾人請他多住些日子，他卻不允，
When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined;
18:21 就辭別他們，說： 神若許我，我還要回到你們這裡；於是開船離了以弗所。
but on taking leave of them he said, "I will return to you if God wills," and he set sail from Ephesus.
18:22 在凱撒利亞下了船，就上耶路撒冷去問教會安，隨後下安提阿去。
When he had landed at Caesare'a, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.

After spending some time there he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phryg'ia, strengthening all the disciples.

Now a Jew named Apol'los, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the scriptures.
18:25 這人已經在主的道上受了教訓，心裡火熱，將耶穌的事詳細講論教訓人；只是他單曉得約翰的洗禮。
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
18:26 他在會堂裡放膽講道；百基拉，亞居拉聽見，就接他來，將 神的道給他講解更加詳細。
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; but when Priscilla and Aq'uila heard him, they took him and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.
18:27 他想要往亞該亞去，弟兄們就勉勵他，並寫信請門徒接待他（或作：弟兄們就寫信勸門徒接待他）。他到了那裡，多幫助那蒙恩信主的人，
