¹保羅受審過了五天，大祭司亞拿尼亞同幾個長老，和一個律師帖土羅來了，他們向總督控告保羅。

¹After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

²保羅傳來了之後，帖土羅就控訴他說：“腓力斯大人，因著你的緣故，我們大大地享受著太平；因著你的遠見，本國大事改革；

²When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that excellent measures are coming to this nation,

³我們隨時隨地感激不盡。

³we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

⁴現在我不想多煩擾你，只求你寬容一下，聽我們講幾句話。

⁴But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

⁵我們看這個人就像瘟疫一樣，是煽動普天下猶太人生亂的人，又是拿撒勒派的首領。

⁵For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

⁶他還意圖污穢聖殿，我們就把他捉住。

⁶He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. TR adds “We wanted to judge him according to our law,”

⁷（有些抄本在此有以下一段：“我們想按照我們的律法審問他。7可是千夫長呂西亞來了，用武力把他從我們手中搶走，8還吩咐原告到你這裡來。”）

⁷ TR adds “but the commanding officer, Lysias, came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,”

⁸你親自審問之後，就必清楚知道我們告他的一切事了。”

⁸ TR adds “commanding his accusers to come to you.” By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

⁹猶太人也都跟他一同控告保羅，證實事情確是這樣。

⁹The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

¹⁰保羅在腓力斯面前申辯總督向保羅示意，叫他說話，他就說：“我知道你在本國審案多年，所以樂意為自己申辯。

¹⁰When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

¹¹你清楚知道，自從我上耶路撒冷去禮拜，到現在還沒有十二天；

¹¹seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

¹²無論在殿裡、會堂中或城裡，他們都沒有看見我跟人辯論，或煽動群眾作亂，

¹²In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

¹³也不能向你證明他們現在控告我的事。

¹³Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

¹⁴但有一件事我要向你承認，他們所稱為異端的這道，我正是根據這道來敬拜我祖先的　神的。一切律法和先知所記的，我都相信。

¹⁴But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

¹⁵我靠著　神所存的盼望，也是他們自己所期待的，就是義人和不義的人都要復活；

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

¹⁶因此，我常常勉勵自己，對　神對人要常存無虧的良心。

¹⁶Herein I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

¹⁷過了幾年我帶著捐款回來賙濟本國，同時也帶了祭物，

¹⁷Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

¹⁸他們看見我在殿裡的時候，我已經行完了潔淨禮，並沒有和一大群人在一起，也沒有生亂，

¹⁸amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

¹⁹只有幾個從亞西亞來的猶太人而已。他們若有事要控告我，就應該到你面前來控告。

¹⁹They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

²⁰要不然，當我站在公議會中受審的時候，這些人若發現我有甚麼罪行，早就親自說出來了。

²⁰Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

²¹如果有的話，就是我站在他們中間所喊的：‘我今天在你們面前受審，是為了死人復活的事’那一句話。”

²¹unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

²²腓力斯本來就詳細曉得這道，卻故意拖延他們，說：“等千夫長呂西亞來了，再斷定你們的事。”

²²But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

²³於是吩咐百夫長看守保羅，但要寬待他，不可阻止親友來照料他。

²³He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

²⁴腓力斯聽道後害怕起來過了幾天，腓力斯和他的猶太妻子土西拉一同來到，他又傳見保羅，聽聽他對基督耶穌的信仰。

²⁴But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁵保羅講到公義、自制和將來的審判的時候，腓力斯就害怕起來，說：“你先走吧，等我有空的時候再叫你來。”

²⁵As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

²⁶同時他也希望保羅送錢給他，所以又多次傳見他，和他談話。

²⁶Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

²⁷過了兩年，波求．非斯都接了腓力斯的任；腓力斯為要討好猶太人，就把保羅留在監裡。

²⁷But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
