19:13 那時,有幾個遊行各處、念咒趕鬼的猶太人,向那被惡鬼附的人擅自稱主耶穌的名,說:我奉保羅所傳的耶穌勒令你們出來!
19:14 做這事的,有猶太祭司長士基瓦的七個兒子。
19:15 惡鬼回答他們說:耶穌我認識,保羅我也知道。你們卻是誰呢?
19:16 惡鬼所附的人就跳在他們身上,勝了其中二人,制伏他們,叫他們赤著身子受了傷,從那房子裡逃出去了。
19:17 凡住在以弗所的,無論是猶太人,是希臘人,都知道這事,也都懼怕;主耶穌的名從此就尊大了。
19:18 那已經信的,多有人來承認訴說自己所行的事。
19:19 平素行邪術的,也有許多人把書拿來,堆積在眾人面前焚燒。他們算計書價,便知道共合五萬塊錢。
19:20 主的道大大興旺,而且得勝,就是這樣。
19:21 這些事完了,保羅心裡定意經過了馬其頓、亞該亞,就往耶路撒冷去;又說:我到了那裡以後,也必須往羅馬去看看。
19:22 於是從幫助他的人中打發提摩太、以拉都二人往馬其頓去,自己暫時等在亞細亞。
現代中文本
19:13 有些到處招搖、驅邪趕鬼的猶太人也想假借主耶穌的名來做這種事。他們對邪靈說:「我奉保羅所傳的耶穌的名,命令你們出來。」
19:14 做這種事的是猶太祭司長士基瓦的七個兒子。
19:15 但是,邪靈回答他們:「我認識耶穌,也知道保羅是誰;可是,你們是誰?」
19:16 那個邪靈附身的人就猛烈地襲擊他們,制伏了他們。他們都受傷,衣服給撕碎了,狼狽地逃出屋子。
19:17 所有住在以弗所的猶太人和外邦人聽見這事,都很害怕;主耶穌的名從此更受尊崇。
19:18 有許多信徒開始把他們以往所做過的事公開坦白地承認出來。
19:19 許多行邪術的人帶來他們的書,堆在一起,當眾焚燒。他們計算這些書的價錢,總共約值五萬銀幣。
19:20 這樣,主的道普遍傳開,大大興旺。
以弗所的騷動
19:21 這些事情過後,保羅決定【15】取道馬其頓和亞該亞,到耶路撒冷去。他說:「到了那裏以後,我也必須訪問羅馬。」
19:22 於是他打發他的兩個助手─提摩太和以拉都─到馬其頓去,自己暫時留在亞細亞省。
RSV
19:13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches."
19:14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.
19:15 But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"
19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, mastered all of them, and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
19:17 And this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks; and fear fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
19:18 Many also of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices.
19:19 And a number of those who practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19:20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
19:21 Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedo'nia and Acha'ia and go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
19:22 And having sent into Macedo'nia two of his helpers, Timothy and Eras'tus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
思想問題:我有哪些壞習慣是需要奉主耶穌的名放膽宣告棄絕的?
1.求神讓我們認識祂更深,也更懂得用敬畏的心服事,不要用輕忽的態度碰上帝的事
