Acts [註]

從2006年10月 19日，認識柯志明老師的第一天起，

我就參與柯老師所帶領的「大肚山研經室」研經班，

一直到2013年。

在這7年當中，柯老師非常認真、嚴肅地帶領我們認識聖經真理，
如同偉大使徒保羅一樣，上帝的旨意，他並沒有吝惜不傳給我們，

又以他自己的生命見證我們的主是怎樣一位又真又活的上帝。

「大肚山研經室」於2011年查考《使徒行傳》， 

在這當中，我們領受許多教導及裝備， 

在此我所分享的是我所聽到的部分信息的整理， 

以我所理解的方式分享，加上一點點我個人的心得。

由衷感謝柯志明老師長期以來不辭辛勞帶領我們研讀《聖經》， 

這是柯老師帶給我們一生最寶貴的禮物，也是上帝對我們的祝福，
願主幫助我們也能將這信仰不斷傳承下去。

Acts 28:31 上帝愛世人

整個使徒行傳都在證明，基督徒不斷向猶太人傳講耶穌基督的福音，但是猶太人不斷地拒絕，他們不但拒絕，還刻意製造紛爭，並且迫害基督徒。

保羅向他們傳講耶穌基督的福音，他們就從很遠的地方一路追趕保羅，設法要致他於死。那些猶太人用石頭把保羅打得幾乎要死，並且陷害、控告保羅使得他被下在監裡，但保羅作為一個囚犯，仍然念念不忘要向猶太人傳福音，並抓住任何機會向審判他的人傳福音，但卻一再被猶太人拒絕。

猶太人的心非常地剛硬、悖逆，甚至非常邪惡，但在使徒行傳裡面，我們看到上帝仍是多麼地愛猶太人，所以祂不斷透過保羅和許多祂的僕人規勸他們，給他們悔改的機會，但他們卻始終不聽。使徒講的話他們不聽，正如同古代先知講的話他們也不聽一樣，他們「聽是要聽見，卻不明白；看是要看見，卻不曉得；因為這百姓油蒙了心，耳朵發沉，眼睛閉著」，所以上帝就把這個福音傳給外邦人。

Act 1-28 保羅 深知所信

我們從使徒行傳裡面看到上帝的偉大僕人保羅，一心一意傳揚耶穌基督的福音，他四處奔走，不畏艱難，不惜犧牲自己的性命。

保羅日夜勞碌工作，他到處與人辯論上帝國的事，傳揚耶穌基督的福音，並且要工作織帳篷供養自己。我們也看到，當保羅面對哲學家，羅馬官員，猶太王亞基帕，他絲毫沒有畏懼，大膽宣揚耶穌是基督。勞苦、嘲笑、辱罵、鞭打、石頭打、追殺、囚禁、船難、毒蛇咬，沒有一樣使他對上帝抱怨，也沒有一樣使他停止傳揚耶穌基督的福音，甚至當他成為一個囚犯之後，他仍以囚犯的身份繼續向審判他的人傳福音。

Acts 20:35 施比受更為有福

「又當記念主耶穌的話，說：施比受更為有福」（使徒行傳20:35）。

“and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

有人專門拿別人的東西，可是有人專門給別人東西，耶穌基督告訴我們要成為專門給別人東西的人。

你相信耶穌所說的，施比受更有福嗎？
你真的要相信施比受更有福。

一個不自我中心的人就會施而不多受，他會常常給出去，樂於分享，分享他的金錢，分享他的思想、才華等等。施比受更有福，因為「給」的本身就是福氣，「給」的本身就是宣告著你有豐富的生命才會不斷的給，因此「不斷的給」這個事情本身就是一個福氣。

Acts 17: 24-31 創造萬有的上帝，同時也是審判人的上帝

「24創造宇宙和其中萬物的上帝，既是天地的主，就不住人手所造的殿，25也不用人手服事，好像缺少什麼；自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物，賜給萬人。26他從一本（有古卷作血脈）造出萬族的人，住在全地上，並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界，27要叫他們尋求神，或者可以揣摩而得，其實他離我們各人不遠；28我們生活、動作、存留，都在乎他。就如你們作詩的，有人說：我們也是他所生的。29我們既是上帝所生的，就不當以為上帝的神性像人用手藝、心思所雕刻的金、銀、石。30世人蒙昧無知的時候，上帝並不監察，如今卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改。31因為他已經定了日子，要藉著他所設立的人按公義審判天下，並且叫他從死裡復活，給萬人作可信的憑據。」

The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

Acts 16: 30-31 當信主耶穌

「我當怎樣行才可以得救？他們說：當信主耶穌，你和你一家都必得救」（使徒行傳16:30-31）。

“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”  And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 

獄卒問保羅和西拉：我當怎樣行才可以得救？
他們立即告訴獄卒一個非常明確的答案，那就是：「當信主耶穌」。

你和你的家人當相信主耶穌基督，你和你的家人就必得救。

Acts 15:11 得救乃因主耶穌的恩

「11我們得救乃是因主耶穌的恩，和他們一樣，這是我們所信的」（使徒行傳15:11）。

But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.

得救乃是因主耶穌基督的恩典，也就是耶穌基督贖罪的恩典，赦免罪的恩典，不是因為行為，不是因為遵守了摩西的律法，不是因為做了什麼，而全然是因為耶穌基督的恩典。

Acts 14: 15 不應將人當神拜，應拜創造萬有的永生真神

「11眾人看見保羅所做的事，就用呂高尼的話大聲說：有神藉著人形降臨在我們中間了。12於是稱巴拿巴為丟斯，稱保羅為希耳米，因為他說話領首。13有城外丟斯廟的祭司牽著牛，拿著花圈，來到門前，要同眾人向使徒獻祭。14巴拿巴、保羅二使徒聽見，就撕開衣裳，跳進眾人中間，喊著說：15諸君，為什麼做這事呢？我們也是人，性情和你們一樣。我們傳福音給你們16是叫你們離棄這些虛妄，歸向那創造天、地、海、和其中萬物的永生神。17他在從前的世代，任憑萬國各行其道；18然而為自己未嘗不顯出證據來，就如常施恩惠，從天降雨，賞賜豐年，叫你們飲食飽足，滿心喜樂」（使徒行傳14:15）。

“And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, 'The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!' Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, 'Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.' Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them” (Acts 14: 11-18). 

Acts 13: 38-39 藉著相信耶穌基督，就被上帝看為義

「38所以，弟兄們，你們當曉得：赦罪的道是由這人傳給你們的。39你們靠摩西的律法，在一切不得稱義的事上信靠這人，就都得稱義了」（使徒行傳13:38-39）。

“Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses” (Acts 13: 38-39).

「這人」是指耶穌基督，耶穌基督來要赦免我們的罪，他要拯救我們，將我們從罪惡當中拯救出來。在這裏我們看到保羅在福音佈道一開始的時候，他就已經領略福音的真理，就是因信稱義的真理。這邊保羅告訴我們的是一個非常重要的核心信息，就是任何相信耶穌基督的人（everyone who believes）都能從罪當中被釋放，被上帝看為義，這就是基督信仰寶貴的「因信稱義」的福音信息。

Acts 13: 23 & 27-31 耶穌是拯救者

「23從這人[大衛]的後裔中，上帝已經照著所應許的，為以色列人立了一位救主，就是耶穌。」

「27耶路撒冷居住的人和他們的官長，因為不認識基督，也不明白每安息日所讀眾先知的書，就把基督定了死罪，正應了先知的預言；28 雖然查不出他有當死的罪來，還是求彼拉多殺他；29既成就了經上指著他所記的一切話，就把他從木頭上取下來，放在墳墓裡。30上帝卻叫他從死裡復活。31那從加利利同他上耶路撒冷的人多日看見他，這些人如今在民間是他的見證」（使徒行傳13:23 & 27-31）。

"Of this man’s offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

    For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people" (Acts 13: 23 & 27-31).

Acts 12:1-3, 20-24 驕傲的王的下場

「1那時，希律王下手苦害教會中幾個人，2用刀殺了約翰的哥哥雅各。3他見猶太人喜歡這事，又去捉拿彼得。……20希律惱怒推羅、西頓的人。他們那一帶地方是從王的地土得糧，因此就託了王的內侍臣伯拉斯都的情，一心來求和。21希律在所定的日子，穿上朝服，坐在位上，對他們講論一番。22百姓喊著說：這是神的聲音，不是人的聲音。23希律不歸榮耀給上帝，所以主的使者立刻罰他，他被蟲所咬，氣就絕了。

24上帝的道日見興旺，越發廣傳」（使徒行傳12:1-3, 20-24）。

“About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword, and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread. . . . . . Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.

Acts 10:34-35 上帝愛猶太人，也愛非猶太人

「34彼得就開口說：我真看出上帝是不偏待人。35原來，各國中那敬畏主、行義的人都為主所悅納」（使徒行傳10:34-35）。

"So Peter opened his mouth and said: 'Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him" (Acts 10:34-35). 

上帝愛非猶太人哥尼流，祂親自主動引導哥尼流與猶太人使徒彼得見面，並使聖靈充滿他如同使聖靈充滿門徒一樣。因此，彼得說出了以上這兩節經文。

從哥尼流的事件開始，福音就傳到非猶太人身上了，哥尼流就是第一個歸主的非猶太人，不只是他，他又帶了他的家庭，還有他的親戚，還有他的好朋友，他帶了一大群人一起來歸主。在這裏，教會已經跨越猶太人的條例，禮儀的界線，也跨越了猶太人跟非猶太人之間的藩籬。

上帝愛猶太人，也愛非猶太人；上帝賜恩給猶太人，也賜恩給非猶太人。耶穌基督的救恩要拯救猶太人，也拯救非猶太人，福音是普世的。

Acts 9:22 耶穌基督改變掃羅

掃羅「20就在各會堂裡宣傳耶穌，說他是上帝的兒子。21凡聽見的人都驚奇，說：在耶路撒冷殘害求告這名的，不是這人嗎？並且他到這裡來，特要捆綁他們，帶到祭司長那裡。22但掃羅越發有能力，駁倒住大馬色的猶太人，證明耶穌是基督」（使徒行傳9:22）。

"And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, 'He is the Son of God.' And all who heard him were amazed and said, 'Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?' But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ."

掃羅原本是「向主的門徒口吐威嚇兇殺的話」的人，他非常熱心到處追捕基督徒，但正當他前往大馬色追捕基督徒的路上，耶穌對他說話，他變成一個眼睛看不見的人。直到亞拿尼亞聽了主的話去他家，「把手按在掃羅身上」，掃羅「就能看見」，「於是起來受了洗」。

Acts 8:28-38 腓利與埃提阿伯

「27不料，有一個埃提阿伯人，是個有大權的太監，在埃提阿伯女王干大基的手下總管銀庫，他上耶路撒冷禮拜去了。28現在回來，在車上坐著，念先知以賽亞的書。29聖靈對腓利說：你去！貼近那車走。30腓利就跑到太監那裡，聽見他念先知以賽亞的書，便問他說：你所念的，你明白嗎？31他說：沒有人指教我，怎能明白呢？於是請腓利上車，與他同坐。32他所念的那段經，說：他像羊被牽到宰殺之地，又像羊羔在剪毛的人手下無聲；他也是這樣不開口。33他卑微的時候，人不按公義審判他；誰能述說他的世代，因為他的生命從地上奪去。34太監對腓利說：請問，先知說這話是指著誰？是指著自己呢？是指著別人呢？35腓利就開口從這經上起，對他傳講耶穌。36二人正往前走，到了有水的地方，太監說：看哪，這裡有水，我受洗有什麼妨礙呢？（有古卷在此有：37腓利說：你若是一心相信，就可以。他回答說：我信耶穌基督是神的兒子。）38於是吩咐車站住，腓利和太監二人同下水裡去，腓利就給他施洗」（使徒行轉8:28-38）。 

"And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go over and join this chariot.' So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, 'Do you understand what you are reading?' 'And he said, 'How can I, unless someone guides me?' And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

'Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.'

Acts 8:26-27 主要腓力去腓力就去

取自：歸正學義網

「有主的一個使者對腓利說：起來！向南走，往那從耶路撒冷下迦薩的路上去。那路是曠野。腓利就起身去了」（使徒行傳8:26-27）。

"Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. And he rose and went." 


從撒瑪亞到迦薩是一段很長又不好走的曠野的路，且曠野沒有人，去那裡傳福音給誰呢？但主的使者叫腓利去，腓利就去。

這裏我們看到腓利的順服，主要他去他就去，完全沒有遲疑。

Acts 7:48-49 上帝不住人手所造的

「48其實，至高者並不住人手所造的，就如先知所言：49主說：天是我的座位，地是我的腳凳；你們要為我造何等的殿宇？哪裡是我安息的地方呢？50這一切不都是我手所造的嗎？」（使徒行傳7:48-49）。

“Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by h ands, as the prophet says, ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?’”

因為猶太人設下假見證控告司提反糟蹋聖所，司提反就以一篇非常有力量的講道回應，而這段話就是司提講道的一部分，作為反擊猶太人對他的控告。

司提反所引用的經文，是出自以賽亞書66章1節先知所說的話。這段經文所表達的是，其實上帝並不住在聖殿裡，天地萬物都是上帝創造的，上帝豈是住在人手所造的小小的房子裡嗎？

Acts 5:30-32 信復活的基督

「30你們掛在木頭上殺害的耶穌，我們祖宗的上帝已經叫他復活。31上帝且用右手將他高舉（或作：他就是上帝高舉在自己的右邊），叫他作君王，作救主，將悔改的心和赦罪的恩賜給以色列人。32我們為這事作見證；上帝賜給順從之人的聖靈也為這事作見證」（使徒行傳 5:30-32）。

"The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.’"

這位他們所殺害的拿撒勒人耶穌，上帝已經叫他復活，也就是他已經超越死亡，他不受死亡的轄制。

我們的信仰所相信的正是這位死而復活的耶穌，他超越死亡的權柄，也就是超越罪惡的權柄，因為死亡是罪的工價，死亡是罪帶來的。不只如此，「上帝且用右手將他高舉（或作：他就是上帝高舉在自己的右邊），叫他作君王，作救主，將悔改的心和赦罪的恩賜給以色列人。」

Acts 4:8-14 彼得被聖靈充滿

「8那時彼得被聖靈充滿，對他們說：9治民的官府和長老啊，倘若今日因為在殘疾人身上所行的善事查問我們他是怎麼得了痊癒，10你們眾人和以色列百姓都當知道，站在你們面前的這人得痊癒是因你們所釘十字架、上帝叫他從死裡復活的拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名。11他是你們匠人所棄的石頭，已成了房角的頭塊石頭。12除他以外，別無拯救；因為在天下人間，沒有賜下別的名，我們可以靠著得救。13他們見彼得、約翰的膽量，又看出他們原是沒有學問的小民，就希奇，認明他們是跟過耶穌的；14又看見那治好了的人和他們一同站著，就無話可駁」（使徒行傳4:8-14）。

“Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Acts 3:2-8 金銀彼得都沒有，彼得所有的就是生命的主，耶穌基督

「2有一個人，生來是瘸腿的，天天被人擡來，放在殿的一個門口，那門名叫美門，要求進殿的人賙濟。3他看見彼得、約翰將要進殿，就求他們賙濟。4彼得約翰定睛看他；彼得說：你看我們！5那人就留意看他們，指望得著什麼。6彼得說：金銀我都沒有，只把我所有的給你：我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名，叫你起來行走！7於是拉著他的右手，扶他起來；他的腳和踝子骨立刻健壯了，8就跳起來，站著，又行走，同他們進了殿，走著，跳著，讚美神」（使徒行傳3:2-8）。

“And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, ‘Look at us.’ And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, ‘I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!’ And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God” (Acts 3:2-8). 

這個生來瘸腿的人，本來無法行走，需要天天被抬到聖殿門口乞討。當他向彼得乞討的時候，彼得對他說：「金銀我都沒有，只把我所有的給你：我奉拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名，叫你起來行走！」

彼得沒有錢財，他所有的就是耶穌基督。耶穌基督是復活的主，他賜下聖靈的能力，這個能力可以讓一個生來瘸腿的人起來行走。就如3章16節所說的：「我們因信他的名，他的名便叫你們所看見所認識的這人健壯了；正是他所賜的信心，叫這人在你們眾人面前全然好了」（使徒行傳3:12-16）。這裏我們看到，耶穌基督的名叫瘸腿的得以行走，並且耶穌也賜給這個一生都沒走過路的人有信心起來行走。

Act 2:38-42 悔改 受洗 領受聖靈

「38彼得說：你們各人要悔改，奉耶穌基督的名受洗，叫你們的罪得赦，就必領受所賜的聖靈；39因為這應許是給你們和你們的兒女，並一切在遠方的人，就是主─我們上帝所召來的。40彼得還用許多話作見證，勸勉他們說：你們當救自己脫離這彎曲的世代。41於是領受他話的人就受了洗。那一天，門徒約添了三千人，42都恆心遵守使徒的教訓，彼此交接，擘餅，祈禱」（使徒行傳2:38-42）。

“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.’ And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, ‘Save yourselves from this crooked generation.’ So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”

上帝透過彼得呼召人信主。

首先，你要悔改。

接下來，要奉耶穌基督的名受洗，奉耶穌基督讓你的罪可以被赦免。

第三、悔改，受洗，就會領受聖靈，你就有了一個全新的生命，用加拉太書的話來說，就是你就得稱上帝為「阿爸父」，這是一個全新的身份，是上帝的兒女，是從神生的。
