행16:1 빌립보에서의 전도
사역
행16:1 바울이 디모데를 부탁함
행 16:1 He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named
Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a beli ever, but whose father
was a Greek.
행 16:2 The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
행 16:3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised
him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that
his father was a Greek.
행 16:4 As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions
reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusale m for the people to obey.
행 16:5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily
in numbers.
행 16:6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia
and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spi rit from preaching the word
in the province of Asia.
행 16:7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter
Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow th em to.
행 16:8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
행 16:9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing
and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
행 16:10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave
for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to
them.
행16:11 루디아의 개종
행 16:11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace,
and the next day on to Neapolis.
행 16:12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the
leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several
days.
행 16:13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river,
where we expected to find a place of prayer. We sat down and began to speak
to the women who had gathered there.
행 16:14 One of those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in
purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The
Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message.
행 16:15 When she and the members of her household were baptized, she
invited us to her home. "If you consider me a believer in the Lord," she
said, "come and stay at my house." And she persuaded us.
행 16:16 Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met
by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she pred icted the future. She
earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling.
행 16:17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These
men are servants of the Most High God, who a re telling you the way to
be saved."
행 16:18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled
that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ
I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her.
행16:19 바울과 실라가 옥에 갇힘
행 16:19 When the owners of the slave girl realized that their hope
of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Sila s and dragged them
into the marketplace to face the authorities.
행 16:20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These
men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar
행 16:21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or
practice."
행 16:22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and
the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and bea ten.
행 16:23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into
prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.
행 16:24 Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner cell
and fastened their feet in the stocks.
행16:25 바울과 실라의 감옥에서 기도
행 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns
to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
행 16:26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations
of the prison were shaken. At once all the p rison doors flew open, and
everybody's chains came loose.
행 16:27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open,
he drew his sword and was about to kill himself bec ause he thought the
prisoners had escaped.
행 16:28 But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!"
행 16:29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling
before Paul and Silas.
행 16:30 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do
to be saved?"
행 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be
saved--you and your household."
행 16:32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the
others in his house.
행 16:33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed
their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized.
행 16:34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before
them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God--he
and his whole family.
행 16:35 When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers
to the jailer with the order: "Release those me n."
행 16:36 The jailer told Paul, "The magistrates have ordered that you
and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace."
행 16:37 But Paul said to the officers: "They beat us publicly without
a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. And
now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves
and escort us out ."
행 16:38 The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they
heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, th ey were alarmed.
행 16:39 They came to appease them and escorted them from the prison,
requesting them to leave the city.
행 16:40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to
Lydia's house, where they met with the brothers and encouraged them. Then
they left. |
