사도행전 28

1우리가 구원을 얻은 후에 안즉 그 섬은 멜리데라 하더라 2토인들이 우리에게 특별한 동정을 하여 비가 오고 날이 차매 불을 피워 우리를 다 영접하더라 3바울이 한 뭇 나무를 거두어 불에 넣으니 뜨거움을 인하여 독사가 나와 그 손을 물고 있는지라 4토인들이 이 짐승이 그 손에 달림을 보고 서로 말하되 진실로 이 사람은 살인한 자로다 바다에서는 구원을 얻었으나 공의가 살지 못하게 하심이로다 하더니 5바울이 그 짐승을 불에 떨어버리매 조금도 상함이 없더라 6그가 붓든지 혹 갑자기 엎드러져 죽을 줄로 저희가 기다렸더니 오래 기다려도 그에게 아무 이상이 없음을 보고 돌려 생각하여 말하되 신이라 하더라 7이 섬에 제일 높은 사람 보블리오라 하는 이가 그 근처에 토지가 있는지라 그가 우리를 영접하여 사흘이나 친절히 유숙하게 하더니 8보블리오의 부친이 열병과 이질에 걸려 누웠거늘 바울이 들어가서 기도하고 그에게 안수하여 낫게 하매 9이러므로 섬 가운데 다른 병든 사람들이 와서 고침을 받고 10후한 예로 우리를 대접하고 떠날 때에 우리 쓸 것을 배에 올리더라 11석 달 후에 그 섬에서 과동한 알렉산드리아 배를 우리가 타고 떠나니 그 배 기호는 디오스구로라 12수라구사에 대고 사흘을 있다가 13거기서 둘러가서 레기온에 이르러 하루를 지난 후 남풍이 일어나므로 이튿날 보디올에 이르러 14거기서 형제를 만나 저희의 청함을 받아 이레를 함께 유하다가 로마로 가니라 15거기 형제들이 우리 소식을 듣고 압비오 저자와 삼관까지 맞으러 오니 바울이 저희를 보고 하나님께 사례하고 담대한 마음을 얻으니라 16우리가 로마에 들어가니 바울은 자기를 지키는 한 군사와 함께 따로 있게 허락하더라 17사흘 후에 바울이 유대인 중 높은 사람들을 청하여 모인 후에 이르되 여러분 형제들아 내가 이스라엘 백성이나 우리 조상의 규모를 배척한 일이 없는데 예루살렘에서 로마인의 손에 죄수로 내어준 바 되었으니 18로마인은 나를 심문하여 죽일 죄목이 없으므로 놓으려 하였으나 19유대인들이 반대하기로 내가 마지 못하여 가이사에게 호소함이요 내 민족을 송사하려는 것이 아니로라 20이러하므로 너희를 보고 함께 이야기하려고 청하였노니 이스라엘의 소망을 인하여 내가 이 쇠사슬에 매인 바 되었노라 21저희가 가로되 우리가 유대에서 네게 대한 편지도 받은 일이 없고 또 형제 중 누가 와서 네게 대하여 좋지 못한 것을 고하든지 이야기한 일도 없느니라 22이에 우리가 너의 사상이 어떠한가 듣고자 하노니 이 파에 대하여는 어디서든지 반대를 받는 줄 우리가 앎이라 하더라 23저희가 일자를 정하고 그의 우거하는 집에 많이 오니 바울이 아침부터 저녁까지 강론하여 하나님 나라를 증거하고 모세의 율법과 선지자의 말을 가지고 예수의 일로 권하더라 24그 말을 믿는 사람도 있고 믿지 아니하는 사람도 있어 25서로 맞지 아니하여 흩어질 때에 바울이 한 말로 일러 가로되 성령이 선지자 이사야로 너희 조상들에게 말씀하신 것이 옳도다 26일렀으되 이 백성에게 가서 말하기를 너희가 듣기는 들어도 도무지 깨닫지 못하며 보기는 보아도 도무지 알지 못하는도다 27이 백성들의 마음이 완악하여져서 그 귀로는 둔하게 듣고 그 눈을 감았으니 이는 눈으로 보고 귀로 듣고 마음으로 깨달아 돌아와 나의 고침을 받을까 함이라 하였으니 28그런즉 하나님의 이 구원을 이방인에게로 보내신 줄 알라 저희는 또한 들으리라 하더라 30바울이 온 이태를 자기 셋집에 유하며 자기에게 오는 사람을 다 영접하고 31담대히 하나님 나라를 전파하며 주 예수 그리스도께 관한 것을 가르치되 금하는 사람이 없었더라

1When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta. 2The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.” 5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed. 6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. 7Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days. 8The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him. 9Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured. 10They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed. 11After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was “The Twin Brothers.” 12Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. 13From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli, 14where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome. 15From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage. 16When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him. 17After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, 18who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me. 19But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation. 20For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.” 21They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you. 22But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.” 23When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening. 24Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 25When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to our fathers, 26saying, ‘Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive. 27For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’ 28“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.” 29When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves. 30Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him, 31preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

1En als zij ontkomen waren, toen verstonden zij, dat het eiland Melite heette. 2En de barbaren bewezen ons geen gemene vriendelijkheid; want een groot vuur ontstoken hebbende, namen zij ons allen in, om den regen, die overkwam, en om de koude. 3En als Paulus een hoop rijzen bijeengeraapt en op het vuur gelegd had, kwam er een adder uit door de hitte, en vatte zijn hand. 4En als de barbaren het beest zagen aan zijn hand hangen, zeiden zij tot elkander: Deze mens is gewisselijk een doodslager, welken de wraak niet laat leven, daar hij uit de zee ontkomen is. 5Maar hij schudde het beest af in het vuur, en leed niets kwaads. 6En zij verwachtten, dat hij zou opzwellen, of terstond dood nedervallen. Maar als zij lang gewacht hadden, en zagen, dat geen ongemak hem overkwam, werden zij veranderd, en zeiden, dat hij een god was. 7En hier, omtrent dezelfde plaats, had de voornaamste van het eiland, met name Publius, zijn landhoeven, die ons ontving, en drie dagen vriendelijk herbergde. 8En het geschiedde, dat de vader van Publius, met koortsen en den roden loop bevangen zijnde, te bed lag; tot denwelken Paulus inging, en als hij gebeden had, legde hij de handen op hem, en maakte hem gezond. 9Als dit dan geschied was, kwamen ook tot hem de anderen, die krankheden hadden in het eiland, en werden genezen. 10Die ons ook eerden met veel eer, en als wij vertrekken zouden, bestelden zij ons hetgeen van node was. 11En na drie maanden voeren wij af in een schip van Alexandrie, dat in het eiland overwinterd had, hebbende tot een teken, Kastor en Pollux. 12En als wij te Syrakuse aangekomen waren, bleven wij aldaar drie dagen; 13Van waar wij omvoeren, en kwamen aan te Regium; en alzo, na een dag, de wind zuid werd, kwamen wij den tweeden dag te Puteoli; 14Alwaar wij broeders vonden, en werden gebeden, zeven dagen bij hen te blijven; en alzo gingen wij naar Rome. 15En vandaar kwamen de broeders, van onze zaken gehoord hebbende, ons tegemoet tot Appiusmarkt, en de drie tabernen; welke Paulus ziende, dankte hij God en greep moed. 16En toen wij te Rome gekomen waren, gaf de hoofdman de gevangenen over aan den overste des legers; maar aan Paulus werd toegelaten op zichzelven te wonen met den krijgsknecht, die hem bewaarde. 17En het geschiedde na drie dagen dat Paulus samenriep degenen, die de voornaamsten der Joden waren. En als zij samengekomen waren, zeide hij tot hen: Mannen broeders, ik, die niets gedaan heb tegen het volk of de vaderlijke gewoonten, ben gebonden uit Jeruzalem overgeleverd in de handen der Romeinen; 18Dewelken, mij onderzocht hebbende, wilden mij loslaten, omdat geen schuld des doods in mij was. 19Maar als de Joden zulks tegenspraken, werd ik genoodzaakt mij op den keizer te beroepen; doch niet, alsof ik iets had, mijn volk te beschuldigen. 20Om deze oorzaak dan heb ik u bij mij geroepen, om u te zien en aan te spreken; want vanwege de hope Israels ben ik met deze keten omvangen. 21Maar zij zeiden tot hem: Wij hebben noch brieven u aangaande van Judea ontvangen; noch iemand van de broeders, hier gekomen zijnde, heeft van u iets kwaads geboodschapt of gesproken. 22Maar wij begeren wel van u te horen, wat gij gevoelt; want wat deze sekte aangaat, ons is bekend, dat zij overal tegengesproken wordt. 23En als zij hem een dag gesteld hadden, kwamen er velen in zijn woonplaats; denwelken hij het Koninkrijk Gods uitlegde, en betuigde, en poogde hen te bewegen tot het geloof in Jezus, beide uit de wet van Mozes en de profeten, van des morgens vroeg tot den avond toe. 24En sommigen geloofden wel, hetgeen gezegd werd, maar sommigen geloofden niet. 25En tegen elkander oneens zijnde, scheidden zij; als Paulus dit ene woord gezegd had, namelijk: Wel heeft de Heilige Geest gesproken door Jesaja, den profeet, tot onze vaderen, 26Zeggende: Ga heen tot dit volk, en zeg: Met het gehoor zult gij horen, en geenszins verstaan; en ziende zult gij zien, en geenszins bemerken. 27Want het hart dezes volks is dik geworden, en met de oren hebben zij zwaarlijk gehoord, en hun ogen hebben zij toegedaan; opdat zij niet te eniger tijd met de ogen zouden zien, en met de oren horen, en met het hart verstaan, en zij zich bekeren, en Ik hen geneze. 28Het zij u dan bekend, dat de zaligheid Gods den heidenen gezonden is, en dezelve zullen horen. 29En als hij dit gezegd had, gingen de Joden weg, veel twisting hebbenden onder elkander. 30En Paulus bleef twee gehele jaren in zijn eigen gehuurde woning; en ontving allen, die tot hem kwamen; 31Predikende het Koninkrijk Gods, en lerende van den Heere Jezus Christus met alle vrijmoedigheid, onverhinderd.
