( for He who was at work for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised was at work for me also to the Gentiles),

那感动彼得、叫他为受割礼之人作使徒的，也感动我，叫我为外邦人作使徒；）

那感动彼得、叫他为受割礼的人作使徒的，也感动我，叫我为外邦人作使徒。

那感动彼得、叫他为受割礼的人作使徒的，也感动我，叫我为外邦人作使徒。

上帝感动了彼得，呼召他做犹太人的使徒，祂也同样感动了我，呼召我做外族人的使徒。

（因为运行在彼得里面，使他作受割礼者的使徒的那一位，也运行在我里面，使我作外族人的使徒，）

因为在彼得里面做工、使他做受割礼之人使徒的那一位，也在我里面做工、使我做外邦人的使徒。

上帝感動了彼得，呼召他做猶太人的使徒，祂也同樣感動了我，呼召我做外族人的使徒。

（因為運行在彼得裡面，使他作受割禮者的使徒的那一位，也運行在我裡面，使我作外族人的使徒，）

（因為那感動彼得去擔當割禮之使徒職分的、也感動我來擔當外國人之使徒職分）；

因為在彼得裡面做工、使他做受割禮之人使徒的那一位，也在我裡面做工、使我做外邦人的使徒。

蓋感彼得為使徒於受割者、亦感我為使徒於異邦、

蓋主助彼得為使徒、以教受割者、亦助我為使徒、以教異邦人、

蓋主感彼得為使徒、以教受割禮者、亦感我為使徒、以教異邦人、

蓋啟發伯鐸祿、使為本國之宗徒者、主也；而啟發鄙人、使為外邦之宗徒者、亦主也。

For God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle to the circumcised, was also at work in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.

God was working in Peter as an apostle to the Jews. God was also working in me as an apostle to the Gentiles.

( for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),

For the same God who worked through Peter as the apostle to the Jews also worked through me as the apostle to the Gentiles.

since the one at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.

( for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

( for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);

since the One at work in Peter for an apostleship to the circumcised was also at work in me for the Gentiles.

( For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

( for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)

for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—

And He said to me,‘ Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”

For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, this you tolerate very well!For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.

Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.

But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

But Peter, taking his stand with the other eleven, raised his voice and declared to them:“ Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, know this, and pay attention to my words.For these people are not drunk, as you assume, since it is only the third hour of the day;but this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:‘ And it shall be in the last days,’ God says,‘ That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, And your young men will see visions, And your old men will have dreams;And even on My male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, And they will prophesy.And I will display wonders in the sky above And signs on the earth below, Blood, fire, and vapor of smoke.The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood, Before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’“ Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a Man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.But God raised Him from the dead, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.For David says of Him,‘ I saw the Lord continually before me, Because He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue was overjoyed; Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;For You will not abandon my soul to Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’“ Brothers, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.So because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on his throne,he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh suffer decay.It is this Jesus whom God raised up, a fact to which we are all witnesses.Therefore, since He has been exalted at the right hand of God, and has received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured out this which you both see and hear.For it was not David who ascended into heaven, but he himself says:‘ The Lord said to my Lord,“ Sit at My right hand,Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ— this Jesus whom you crucified.”Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles,“ Brothers, what are we to do?”Peter said to them,“ Repent, and each of you be baptized 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 your children and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on urging them, saying,“ Be saved from this perverse generation!”So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.

So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

After he had greeted them, he began to relate one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.

You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made by hands are not gods at all.

For this purpose I also labor, striving according to His power which works mightily within me.

At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all together in Solomon’s portico.But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem.And increasingly believers in the Lord, large numbers of men and women, were being added to their number,to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any of them.The people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together as well, bringing people who were sick or tormented with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”

rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be performed by their hands.But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, while others, with the apostles.And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to treat them abusively and to stone them,they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region;and there they continued to preach the gospel.In Lystra a man was sitting whose feet were incapacitated. He had been disabled from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul looked at him intently and saw that he had faith to be made well,and he said with a loud voice,“ Stand upright on your feet!” And the man leaped up and began to walk.When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language,“ The gods have become like men and have come down to us!”

But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people,“ Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why are you staring at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, the one whom you handed over and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release Him.But you disowned the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,but put to death the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses.And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.“ And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers also did.But the things which God previously announced by the mouths of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has fulfilled in this way.Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you,whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things, about which God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times.Moses said,‘ The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you.And it shall be that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’And likewise, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and his successors onward, have also announced these days.It is you who are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham,‘ And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’God raised up His Servant for you first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”

While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,“ Set Barnabas and Saul apart for Me for the work to which I have called them.”Then, when they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and from there they sailed to Cyprus.When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar Jesus,who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.But Elymas the magician( for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him,and said,“ You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop making crooked the straight ways of the Lord?Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time.” And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and as far as the remotest part of the earth.”

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,just as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.

All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles.

But the Lord said to him,“ Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;
