사도행전 18

1이 후에 바울이 아덴을 떠나 고린도에 이르러 2아굴라라 하는 본도에서 난 유대인 하나를 만나니 글라우디오가 모든 유대인을 명하여 로마에서 떠나라 한 고로 그가 그 아내 브리스길라와 함께 이달리야로부터 새로 온지라 바울이 그들에게 가매 3업이 같으므로 함께 거하여 일을 하니 그 업은 장막을 만드는 것이더라 4안식일마다 바울이 회당에서 강론하고 유대인과 헬라인을 권면하니라 5실라와 디모데가 마게도냐로서 내려오매 바울이 하나님의 말씀에 붙잡혀 유대인들에게 예수는 그리스도라 밝히 증거하니 6저희가 대적하여 훼방하거늘 바울이 옷을 떨어 가로되 너희 피가 너희 머리로 돌아갈 것이요 나는 깨끗하니라 이 후에는 이방인에게로 가리라 하고 7거기서 옮겨 하나님을 공경하는 디도 유스도라 하는 사람의 집에 들어가니 그 집이 회당 옆이라 8또 회당장 그리스보가 온 집으로 더불어 주를 믿으며 수다한 고린도 사람도 듣고 믿어 침례를 받더라 9밤에 주께서 환상 가운데 바울에게 말씀하시되 두려워하지 말며 잠잠하지 말고 말하라 10내가 너와 함께 있으매 아무 사람도 너를 대적하여 해롭게 할 자가 없을 것이니 이는 이 성중에 내 백성이 많음이라 하시더라 11일 년 육 개월을 유하며 그들 가운데서 하나님의 말씀을 가르치니라 12갈리오가 아가야 총독 되었을 때에 유대인이 일제히 일어나 바울을 대적하여 재판 자리로 데리고 와서 13말하되 이 사람이 율법을 어기어 하나님을 공경하라고 사람들을 권한다 하거늘 14바울이 입을 열고자 할 때에 갈리오가 유대인들에게 이르되 너희 유대인들아 만일 무슨 부정한 일이나 괴악한 행동이었으면 내가 너희 말을 들어주는 것이 가하거니와 15만일 문제가 언어와 명칭과 너희 법에 관한 것이면 너희가 스스로 처리하라 나는 이러한 일에 재판장 되기를 원치 아니하노라 하고 16저희를 재판 자리에서 쫓아내니 17모든 사람이 회당장 소스데네를 잡아 재판 자리 앞에서 때리되 갈리오가 이 일을 상관치 아니하니라 18바울은 더 여러 날 유하다가 형제들을 작별하고 배 타고 수리아로 떠나갈새 브리스길라와 아굴라도 함께 하더라 바울이 일찍 서원이 있으므로 겐그레아에서 머리를 깎았더라 19에베소에 와서 저희를 거기 머물러 두고 자기는 회당에 들어가서 유대인들과 변론하니 20여러 사람이 더 오래 있기를 청하되 허락지 아니하고 21작별하여 가로되 만일 하나님의 뜻이면 너희에게 돌아오리라 하고 배를 타고 에베소를 떠나 22가이사랴에서 상륙하여 올라가 교회의 안부를 물은 후에 안디옥으로 내려가서 23얼마 있다가 떠나 갈라디아와 브루기아 땅을 차례로 다니며 모든 제자를 굳게 하니라 24알렉산드리아에서 난 아볼로라 하는 유대인이 에베소에 이르니 이 사람은 학문이 많고 성경에 능한 자라 25그가 일찍 주의 도를 배워 열심으로 예수에 관한 것을 자세히 말하며 가르치나 요한의 침례만 알 따름이라 26그가 회당에서 담대히 말하기를 시작하거늘 브리스길라와 아굴라가 듣고 데려다가 하나님의 도를 더 자세히 풀어 이르더라 27아볼로가 아가야로 건너가고자 하니 형제들이 저를 장려하며 제자들에게 편지하여 영접하라 하였더니 저가 가매 은혜로 말미암아 믿은 자들에게 많은 유익을 주니 28이는 성경으로써 예수는 그리스도라고 증거하여 공중 앞에서 유력하게 유대인의 말을 이김일러라

1After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. 2He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them, 3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers. 4He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks. 5But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!” 7He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized. 9The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent; 10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.” 11He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat, 13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.” 14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you; 15but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.” 16He drove them from the judgment seat. 17Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things. 18Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow. 19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined; 21but taking his leave of them, and saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus. 22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch. 23Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples. 24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures. 25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. 26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; 28for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

1En na dezen scheidde Paulus van Athene en kwam te Korinthe; 2En vond een zekeren Jood, met name Aquila, van geboorte uit Pontus, die onlangs van Italie gekomen was, en Priscilla, zijn vrouw, (omdat Claudius bevolen had, dat al de Joden uit Rome vertrekken zouden), en hij ging tot hen; 3En omdat hij van hetzelfde handwerk was, bleef hij bij hen, en wrocht; want zij waren tentenmakers van handwerk. 4En hij handelde op elken sabbat in de synagoge, en bewoog tot het geloof Joden en Grieken. 5En als Silas en Timotheus van Macedonie afgekomen waren, werd Paulus door den Geest gedrongen, betuigende den Joden, dat Jezus is de Christus. 6Maar als zij wederstonden en lasterden, schudde hij zijn klederen af, en zeide tot hen: Uw bloed zij op uw hoofd; ik ben rein; en van nu voortaan zal ik tot de heidenen heengaan. 7En van daar gegaan zijnde, kwam hij in het huis van een man, met name Justus, die God diende, wiens huis paalde aan de synagoge. 8En Crispus, de overste der synagoge, geloofde aan den Heere met geheel zijn huis; en velen van de Korinthiers, hem horende, geloofden, en werden gedoopt. 9En de Heere zeide tot Paulus door een gezicht in den nacht: Zijt niet bevreesd, maar spreek en zwijg niet. 10Want Ik ben met u, en niemand zal de hand aan u leggen om u kwaad te doen; want Ik heb veel volks in deze stad. 11En hij onthield zich aldaar een jaar en zes maanden, lerende onder hen het Woord Gods. 12Maar als Gallio stadhouder van Achaje was, stonden de Joden eendrachtelijk tegen Paulus op, en brachten hem voor den rechterstoel. 13Zeggende: Deze raadt den mensen aan, dat zij God zouden dienen tegen de wet. 14En als Paulus zijn mond zou opendoen, zeide Gallio tot de Joden: Zo er enig ongelijk, of kwaad stuk begaan ware, o Joden, zo zou ik met reden ulieden verdragen; 15Maar indien er geschil is over een woord, en namen, en over de wet, die onder u is, zo zult gij zelven toezien; want ik wil over deze dingen geen rechter zijn. 16En hij dreef hen weg van den rechterstoel. 17Maar al de Grieken namen Sosthenes, den overste der synagoge, en sloegen hem voor den rechterstoel; en Gallio trok zich geen van deze dingen aan. 18En als Paulus er nog vele dagen gebleven was, nam hij afscheid van de broederen, en scheepte van daar naar Syrie; en Priscilla en Aquila met hem, zijn hoofd te Kenchreen geschoren hebbende; want hij had een gelofte gedaan. 19En hij kwam te Efeze aan, en liet hen aldaar; maar hij ging in de synagoge, en handelde met de Joden. 20En als zij baden, dat hij langer bij hen blijven zoude, bewilligde hij het niet. 21Maar hij nam afscheid van hen, zeggende: Ik moet ganselijk het toekomende feest te Jeruzalem houden; doch ik zal tot u wederkeren, zo God wil. En hij voer weg van Efeze. 22En als hij te Cesarea was gekomen, ging hij op naar Jeruzalem, en de Gemeente gegroet hebbende, ging hij af naar Antiochie. 23En als hij aldaar enige tijd geweest was, ging hij weg, en doorreisde vervolgens het land van Galatie en Frygie, versterkende al de discipelen. 24En een zeker Jood, met name Apollos, van geboorte een Alexandrier, een welsprekend man, kwam te Efeze, machtig zijnde in de Schriften. 25Deze was in den weg des Heeren onderwezen; en vurig zijnde van geest, sprak hij en leerde naarstiglijk de zaken des Heeren, wetende alleenlijk den doop van Johannes. 26En deze begon vrijmoediglijk te spreken in de synagoge. En als hem Aquila en Priscilla gehoord hadden, namen zij hem tot zich, en legden hem den weg Gods bescheidenlijker uit. 27En als hij wilde naar Achaje reizen, de broeders, hem vermaand hebbende, schreven aan de discipelen, dat zij hem ontvangen zouden; welke, daar gekomen zijnde, heeft veel toegebracht aan degenen, die geloofden door de genade. 28Want hij overtuigde de Joden met groten ernst in het openbaar, bewijzende door de Schriften, dat Jezus de Christus was.
