汝且起立、予顯汝前、將有所命、立為執事、以汝所見及予隨時所示者悉為證之。

你起来站着，我特意向你显现，要派你作执事，作见证，将你所看见的事和我将要指示你的事证明出来。

起来，站着，我向你显现的目的是要派你作仆役，为你所看见我的事，和我将要指示你的事作见证人。

起来，站着，我向你显现的目的是要派你作仆役，为你所看见我的事，和我将要指示你的事作见证人。

你站起来。我向你显现，是要派你做我的仆人和见证人，把你所看见的和以后我将启示给你的事告诉世人。

你起来，站着，我向你显现，是要指派你为我工作。你要为你所见过的事，和我将要向你显明的事作见证。

你起来，用你的两脚站好！要知道，我向你显现是为这样一个目的：预先指定你做仆人和见证人，就是为你所看见的事，以及我将要显明给你的事做见证人。

你起來站着，我特意向你顯現，要派你作執事，作見證，將你所看見的事和我將要指示你的事證明出來。

起來，站着，我向你顯現的目的是要派你作僕役，為你所看見我的事，和我將要指示你的事作見證人。

起來，站着，我向你顯現的目的是要派你作僕役，為你所看見我的事，和我將要指示你的事作見證人。

你站起來。我向你顯現，是要派你作我的僕人和見證人，把你所看見的和以後我將啟示給你的事告訴世人。

你起來，站著，我向你顯現，是要指派你為我工作。你要為你所見過的事，和我將要向你顯明的事作見證。

但是你要起來，站着；因為我向你顯現，正是為了要選派你，為你所看見我的、以及我將來所要現給你看的、當差事、作見證。

你起來，用你的兩腳站好！要知道，我向你顯現是為這樣一個目的：預先指定你做僕人和見證人，就是為你所看見的事，以及我將要顯明給你的事做見證人。

起而立、蓋我特見於爾、立爾為役與證、以證爾所見、及我將示爾者、

爾起立、我顯與爾、選爾為執事、可以爾所見、及將示爾之事為證、

爾起而立、我特現於爾、欲選爾為我僕役、且為證者、可證爾所已見、及我將示爾之事、

‘ Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.

Now get up. Stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you to serve me. And you must tell other people about me. You must tell others that you have seen me today. You must also tell them that I will show myself to you again.

But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,

Now get to your feet! For I have appeared to you to appoint you as my servant and witness. Tell people that you have seen me, and tell them what I will show you in the future.

But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.

But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you as a servant and a witness not only to the things in which you have seen Me, but also to the things in which I will appear to you,

But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;

But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and a witness of what you have seen and of what I will reveal to you.

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

But get up and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this reason, to designate you in advance as a servant and witness to the things you have seen and to the things in which I will appear to you.

But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you;

渠又曰：「吾祖之天主已賜汝恩簡、使汝得明厥旨獲見聖者、親聞其音；汝當據所見所聞、向普天生靈為之作證也。

葆樂致敬、並以主命宣揚教義、及所行於異邦者盡告之。

自誇固非所宜、亦不得已耳。且為爾一述主之顯現及默示可乎。吾知一人焉、十四年前、被挈直上第三天。當時魂附體乎？吾不之知也。魂不附體乎？吾不之知也。惟天主知之。吾知若人被引入樂園親聞神妙奧祕之言、非人所得而道也。當時魂之附體與否、吾不之知也；知之惟天主。吾願為若而人誇、至吾本身、實無足誇，有之、其在吾之柔弱無能歟！吾即欲誇、亦不致為狂妄、以所言皆實耳。然吾不欲多言、恐人之視我太高、超乎所見所聞於吾者。且主亦恐我以受此特達之啟示、而驕矜自慢也；故容沙殫加我以肉身上之痛楚、有如芒刺之着體、蓋不欲吾之得意而忘形耳。

予曰：「主乎、予當何為？」主曰：「起、入大馬士革、將告汝以所當為。」

汝能以此種種、昭示兄弟、同時涵泳教義、深味聖訓、日漸月漬、毋忘向之所學、則可謂基督耶穌之忠僕矣。

主曰：『第往、斯人乃吾特選之器、將以吾名播諸異族與列王、以及義塞子孫。吾且示之、彼為吾名、將如何備嘗艱苦。』

天主運用其大能、賜我恩寵、令我得供役於福音。夫我乃諸聖中之至微者、竟亦蒙此殊恩、得在異邦人中弘宣基督不可思議之厚澤、

吾人既蒙洪恩、而負此使命、故中心不餒、

爾且起、入城、當示爾所當為。』同行者聞其聲而不見其人、皆噤然木立。掃羅起、啟目不能視、人攜其手、引入大馬士革。失明三日、飲食俱廢。

吾兒當朝乾夕惕忍辱負重、毅然以光大聖道為己任、克盡司鐸之職。

是夜、主臨葆樂曰：『勿餒！汝今為予證道於耶路撒冷、來日亦必得為證於羅馬也。』

蓋吾既未受之於人、又非學而知之、惟憑耶穌基督之啟示而已。

以予所隸屬、所奉之天主、其使者昨夜立予前曰：「葆樂勿畏、汝必得立於凱撒前；且與汝同舟共濟者、天主悉以賜汝矣。」

是在爾等篤守信德、確乎不拔、以保因聞福音而得之希望而已。此福音已布於普天生靈、而我葆樂竟得供役於斯。

後予返耶路撒冷、於殿中祈禱時、神遊象外、見主語予曰：「速離耶路撒冷、勿延；以汝為予作證、其人必不領受。」予曰：「主乎、彼等詎不知予前曾將信主者置於獄中、又於各會堂中侮辱而鞭撻之；且主之證人司諦文遇害流血時、予亦在場、顧而樂之、並為兇手守衣焉。」主曰：「去！予將遣汝遠適異邦。」』眾聞彼陳述至此、高呼曰：『此人實無可生之理、地所不載、盍共除之！』

凡此皆天主之所賜也。天主既藉基督賜吾人復得承歡、又賜吾儕參贊重歡之事。

入夜、主示異象謂葆樂曰：『毋餒於心、侃侃傳道、勿緘爾口。吾與爾俱、孰得相害？邑中多屬吾民。』

從伊伯弗拉之教、確已領會天主之洪恩。伊伯弗拉、我親愛之同寅、而基督之忠僕也。

得在異邦人中充任基督耶穌之役、不得不勉盡司鐸之職、以弘宣基督之福音、務使異邦人受聖神之感化、而超凡入聖、俾我獻之於天主之前、而蒙其悅納。

吾人賴以蒙恩、忝列宗徒、期使萬民歸順正道、依崇聖名；

是實天主所托於我、對爾等應盡之本分、亦所以發揚天主之道也。

而先遣從事基督福音之天主忠僕、兄弟蒂茂德、前來慰問、以堅爾之信德、

竊思基督耶穌以吾為忠實之徒、令供斯役、且予我以扶植、賜我以神力；此恩此德、昊天罔極。

然吾於生命置之度外、無所顧惜。但望能完成吾之行程、及所受於主耶穌之使命、以證天主恩寵之福音而已。

蓋蒙天主啟示、乃有此行。至則將予所傳於外邦之福音、自陳於德高望重之同人；庶幾我前後之所奔走努力者、莫為徒勞。

安提阿教區有先知及主講數人、即巴拿巴、西門字尼結、古利奈人路求、分封王希祿之幼侶馬念、及掃羅是已。方其禮主齋戒之際、聖神謂之曰：『為我甄別巴拿巴及掃羅、以赴我所命之任務。』乃復齋戒祈禱、為之行覆手禮、遣之使去。巴拿巴、掃羅既奉聖神之遣、乃赴西流基、乘舟至居比路。

彼本與吾儕同列、共任職司；

用承茹達斯所棄之職。蓋茹達斯已歸其所矣。』

而吾儕則專事祈禱傳道。』
