Listen & read in about 10-15 minutes a day! Acts 12: Herod’s Violence to the Church - Parent Category: The Book of Acts - Category: Acts 8-12: Persecution causes the Gospel spreads to Judea and Samaria Acts 12 Herod’s Violence to the Church 12Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread. 4So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover. Peter Freed from Prison 5Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. 6And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison. 7Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. 8Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” 9So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. 11And when Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.” 12So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying. 13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood before the gate. 15But they said to her, “You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.” 16Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent, he declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren.” And he departed and went to another place. 18Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. 19But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there. Herod’s Violent Death 20Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king’s personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king’s country. 21So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. 22And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” 23Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died. 24But the word of God grew and multiplied. Barnabas and Saul Appointed 25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark. Acts 13: Paul and Barnabas Are Sent to the Gentiles - Parent Category: The Book of Acts - Category: Acts 13-28: Paul, The Apostle to the Gentiles, takes the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth Acts 13 Paul and Barnabas Are Sent to the Gentiles 13Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. Preaching in Cyprus 4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant. 6Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. At Antioch in Pisidia 13Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. 14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. 15And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.” 16Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen: 17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it. 18Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness. 19And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment. 20“After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. 21And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’ 23From this man’s seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior—Jesus— 24after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25And as John was finishing his course, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.’ 26“Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent. 27For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him. 28And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death. 29Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb. 30But God raised Him from the dead. 31He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people. 32And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which was made to the fathers. 33God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.’ 34And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the sure mercies of David.’ 35Therefore He also says in another Psalm: ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.’ 36“For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption; 37but He whom God raised up saw no corruption. 38Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; 39and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. 40Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you: 41‘Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.’ Blessing and Conflict at Antioch 42So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. 43Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. 45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul. 46Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. 47For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’ 48Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed. 49And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region. 50But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium. 52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

प्रेरित अध्याय 13 एन्टिओकको मण्डलीमा केही अगमवक्ताहरू र शिक्षकहरू थिए। तिनीहरू बर्णाबास, सिमियोन (उसलाई पनि भनिन्थ्यो) लुसियस (साइरिनीवासी) मनेन (हेरोद राजसँगै हुर्किएको मानिस) र शावल थिए। 2 ती मानिसहरू सवैले प्रभुको सेवा गरिरहेका थिए अनि उपवास लिएका थिए। पवित्र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “खास कामको लागि मलाई बर्णाबास र शावल देऊ। मैले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो काम गर्नलाई छानेकोछु।” 3 तब तिनीहरूले उपवास र प्रार्थना गरे, तिनीहरूले बर्णाबास र शावल माथि आफ्नो हात राखे अनि बाहिर पठाए। 4 बर्णाबास र शावललाई पवित्र आत्माले पठाउनु भएको थियो। तिनीहरू सिल्युसियामा शहरतर्फ गए। तिनीहरू सिल्युसियाबाट जलयात्रा गर्दै साइप्रस पुगे। 5 तब तिनीहरू सलामिस भन्ने ठाउँमा पुगे, त्यहाँ यहूदीहरूका सभाघरहरूमा तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सुसमाचारको प्रचार गरे। यूहन्ना र मर्कूस पनि सहयोगीको रूपमा तिनीहरूलसंगै थिए। 6 तिनीहरूले सम्पूर्ण टापू पार गरेर पाफोस भन्ने शहरमा आइपुगे। तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ एक यहूदी जादूवाला भेटे। उसको नाउँ बारयेशू थियो। उनी एक झूटो अगमवक्ता थिए। 7 बारयेशू सँधैं नै र्सगियस पौलस प्रशासकसित बस्दथे। र्सगियस पौलस एक बुद्धिमानी मानिस थिए। उनले बर्णाबास र शावललाई बोलाए। उनी परमेश्वरको सन्देश सुन्न चाहन्थे। 8 तर जादूगर इलुमास बर्णाबास र शावलको विरोधमा थियो। ग्रीक भाषामा येशूलाई इलुमास भनिन्छ। इलुमासले प्रशासकलाई येशूमाथि विश्वास गर्न रोक्न चाहन्थे। 9 तर शावल पवित्र आत्माले पूर्ण भएका थिए। पावलले (शावलको अर्को नाउँ) इलुमासलाई हेरे। 10 अनि भने, “तँ शैतानको छोरो! तँ सबै सही कुराको शत्रु होस्। तँमा शैतानी छक्कापञ्जा मात्र छ। के तैले सधैं प्रभुको सत्यहरूलाई झूटहरूमा परिणत गर्न छोडदैनस्! 11 अब प्रभुले तँलाई छुनु हुनेछ अनि तुरन्तै तँ अन्धा हुनेछस्। केही समय तँ केही देख्न सक्ने छैनस् यहाँ सम्म कि घामको किरण पनि देख्दैनस्।”तुरन्तै इलुमासमाथि धुम्म अनि अन्धार झरयो। ऊ वरिपरि घुम्यो, अनि हात समातेर उसको मार्ग देखाउनलाई मानिसहरू खोज्यो। 12 जब प्रशासक र्सगियस पावलले यो देखे, उनले विश्वास गरे। प्रभुको शिक्षाको विषयमा उनी आचर्य चकित भए। 13 पावल र उनीसंग भएका मानिसहरू पाफोसबाट जहाजमा गए। तिनीहरू प्याम्फिलियाको एक शहर पर्गामा आई पुगे। तर यूहन्ना मर्कूसले तिनीहरूलाई छाडे, उनी यरूशलेम फर्के। 14 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना यात्रा जारी राखे अनि पर्गा देखि पिसिदिया शहरको एन्टिओकतिर गए। विश्रामको समयमा, तिनीहरू यहूदीहरूका सभाघरभित्र गए र बसे। 15 मोशाका नियमहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूको पुस्तकहरू पाठ गरिए। त्यसपछि सभा-घरको कर्मचारीहरूरले पावल र बर्णाबासलाई एक समाचार पठाए। यो समाचारमा भनिएको थियोः “बन्धुहरू, यदि तपाईंहरू केही भन्नुहुन्छ, जो मानिसहरूका निम्ति लाभदायक छ भने, कृपया भन्नुहोस!” 16 पावल उभिए। उनले आफ्नो हात उठाए र भने, “मेरा यहूदी दाज्यु-भाइहरू एवं अन्य जनसमूह जसले प्रभुलाई साँचो श्रद्धा गर्दछ, कृपया मेरो कुरालाई ध्यानसित सुनिदेऊ! 17 इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू छान्नु भयो। जब तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा परदेशी भएर बसेका थिए परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सफल गराउनका निम्ति सहयोग गर्नुभएको थियो। परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट आफ्ना महान शक्तिद्वारा निकाली ल्याउनु भयो। 18 अनि परमेश्वरले उनीहरूको व्यवहार त्यस मरूभूमिमा चालीस र्वष सम्म सहनु भयो। 19 परमेश्वरले कनान देशमा सातवटा राष्ट्रहरूलाई पूर्ण ध्वंश पार्नु भयो। उहाँले ती जमीनहरू केवल उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई दिनुभयो। 20 यी सम्पूर्ण घटनाहरू लगभग् 450 र्वषको अवधि सम्म थियो।“त्यसपछि, परमेश्वरले अगमवक्ता शामूएलको अवधिसम्म तिनीहरूलाई न्यायकर्त्ताहरू दिनुभयो। 21 तब मानिसहरूले राजाको माग गरे। परमेश्वरले कीशका छोरो शावललाई दिनुभयो। शावल बिन्यामीन कुलका थिए। उनले चालीस र्वषसम्म राजा भएर राज गरे। 22 शावललाई हटाए पछि परमेश्वरले दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूका राजा बनाउनु भयो। परमेश्वरले दाऊदको विषयमा यसो भन्नु भयोः ‘यस्सीको छोरा दाऊद एउटा मानिस हो जसले मैले सोचे जस्तो सोच्छ। मैले चाहे अनुसार सबै कामहरू उसले गर्नेछ। 23 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो वचन अनुसार दाऊदको एउटा सन्तानलाई मुक्तिदाताको रूपमा इस्राएलमा पठाउनु भयो। त्यो वंशका सन्तान येशू हुनुहुन्छ। 24 येशू आउन अघि यूहन्नाले सबै यहूदीहरूमा प्रचार गरे। यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई भने “तिमीहरू स्वयं परिणत हुन चाहन्छौ भनि देखाउनका निम्ति बप्तिस्मा लेऊ।” 25 यूहन्नाले आफ्नो काम सिध्याउने बेलामा भने, ‘म को हुँ भनेर तिमीहरू ठान्छौ? म ख्रीष्ट होइन। तर उहाँ, म पछि आउनु हुनेछ। म उहाँको जुत्ता फुकाल्ने सम्मको योग्यको छैन।’ 26 “मेरा दाज्यू-भाइहरू! अब्राहाम परिवारका नानीहरू अनि तिमी धर्मभीरू गैर-यहूदीहरू, ध्यान दिएर मेरो कुरा सुन। यो मुक्तिको समाचार हामीकहाँ पठाइसकेको छ। 27 यरूशलेमका निवासीहरू अनि तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूले येशू स्वयं नै मुक्तिदाता हुन् भनेर जान्दै जानेनन्। अगमवक्ताहरूले येशूको विषयमा लेखेका शब्दहरू हरेक विश्रामका दिनमा मानिसहरू प्रति पढिन्छ तर तिनीहरूले ती बुझेनन्। यहूदीहरूले येशूलाई निन्दा गरे। तर अगमवक्ताहरूले भनेका शब्दहरू पूर्ण भयो। 28 तिनीहरूले येशू किन मर्नु पर्थ्यो भन्ने कुनै खास कारण भेटाएनन्, तर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मार्न भनि पिलातससित माग गरे। 29 यी यहूदीहरूले येशूको विषयमा के हुनेवाला थियो, धर्मशास्त्रमा लेखिएका सबै पुरा गरे। तब तिनीहरूले येशूलाई क्रूसबाट झारे अनि चिहानमा हाले। 30 तर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई मृत्युबाट बौराई उठाउनु भयो! 31 यस घटना पछि, धेरै दिन, मानिसहरू जो-जो येशूसंग गालिलीदेखि यरूशलेमसम्म साथ गएका थिए उनीहरूले उहाँलाई देखे। अहिले ती मानिसहरू नै उहाँको अरू मानिसहरूका निम्ति गवाही हुन्। 32 हाम्रा पूर्वजहरूलाई दिएको प्रतिज्ञाको बारेमा सुसमाचार हामी तिमीहरूलाई भन्छौ। 33 हामी तिमीहरूका बालकहरू हौं अनि परमेश्वरले यो प्रतिज्ञा हाम्रा निम्ति येशूलाई मृत्यूबाट बौराइ उठाउनु भएर पूरा गर्नु भएको छ। हामीले भजनसंग्रहमा पनि यो कुरा पढछौः‘तिमीहरू मेरा पुत्र हौ। आज म तिमीहरूका पुर्खा भएँ। 34 परमेश्वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट बौराउनु भयो। येशू फेरि कहिल्यै पनि चिहानभित्र पस्नु हुनेछैन न त धुलो नै हुनुहुनेछ। तब परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयोः‘म तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र र सत्य प्रतिज्ञाहरू दिनेछु जुन मैले दाऊलाई दिएँ।’ 35 तर अर्को ठाउँमा परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छः‘तिम्रो एकजना पवित्र शरीरलाई चिहानमा कुहुन दिइने छैन।’ 36 दाऊदले आफ्नो अवधि भरि परमेश्वरको इच्छा अनुसार सेवा गरे। त्यसपछि दाऊदको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनका आफ्नै पुर्खाहरूसंग दफन गरियो। अनि उनको शरीर चिहानमा सड्यो। 37 तर ‘एक’ जसलाई परमेश्वरले मृत्युबाट बौराउनु भयो उहाँको शरीर चिहानमा कुहेन। 38 दाज्यू-भाइहरू तिमीहरूले यो बुझ्नु पर्छः उहाँको मार्फत तिमीहरूको पापहरूका निम्ति क्षमा प्रदान गरिएको छ। अनि हरेक मानिस जसले उहाँमा विश्वास गर्छ ती सबै कुराहरूबाट मुक्त गरिन्छ जसको निम्ति मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तिमीलाई मुक्त गर्न सकेन। 40 अगमवक्ताहरूले केही घटना घट्नेछ भनेर भने, ‘होशियार! सावधन! यस्तो घटना आफूमा घटन नदेऊ। अगमवक्ताले भनेः 41 ‘जसले शंका गर्छौ, सुन्! तिमीहरू छक्क पर्न सक्छौ, तर मेरो नजरदेखि टाढा हौ अनि तुरन्तै मर किनभने तिमीहरूको अवधिमा म केही गर्नेछु जुन तिमीहरू विश्वास गर्ने छैनौ। यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई त्यसको वर्णन दिंदा पनि तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्ने छैनौ!” 42 पावल र बर्णाबासले सभाघर चोडेर गइरहेको बेला मानिसहरूले फेरि अर्को विश्रामको दिनमा आउनुहोस् भने अनि यी कुराहरूबाट अझ अधिक भन्नु होस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई विन्ती गरे। 43 सभा सिद्धिए पछि धेरै यहूदीहरूले अनि धेरै मानिसहरू जो यहूदी धर्ममा परिणत भएका थिए अनि सत्य परमेश्वरको आराधाना गैर्दथिए, तिनीहरूको पछि गए। पावल अनि बर्णाबास तिनीहरूसित बोले अनि परमेश्वरको अनुग्रह पाईरहन उत्साह दिए। 44 अर्को विश्रामको दिनमा, शहरका प्रायः जम्मै मानिसहरू प्रभुको वचन सुन्नलाई एकत्रित भए। 45 जब यहूदीहरूले ती मानिसहरूलाई त्यहाँ देखे तिनीहरूमा खूबै डाह उत्पन्न भयो। तिनीहरूले नराम्रा शब्दहरू भने अनि पावलसंग र्तक विर्तक गरे। 46 तर पावल र बर्णाबासले निडर भएर बोले। “परमेश्वरको सन्देश पहिला तिमी यहूदीहरूलाई भन्न आवश्यक थियो। तर तिमीहरूले सुन्न अस्वीकार गर्यौ। तिमीहरू आफैले आफूलाई अनन्त जीवनको निम्ति अयोग्य ठान्यौ अब हामी अन्य जातिहरू तर्फ र्फकनेछौं। 47 यही नै परमप्रभुले हामीलाई गर्नु भनि आज्ञा गर्नु भएकोछ।परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयोः‘मैले तिमीहरूलाई अन्य जातिको लागि ज्योति बनाएकोछु, ताकि तिमीहरूले मुक्तिको मार्ग सारा संसारमा देखाउन सक्छौ।”‘ 48 जब गैर यहूदीहरूले पावलले त्यसो भनेको सुने तिनीहरू खुशी भए। तिनीहरूले प्रभुको सन्देशलाई सम्मान गरे। अनि कतिपय मानिसहरूले त्यो सन्देशमा विश्वास गरे। तिनीहरु त्यही मानिसहरू थिए जसलाई अनन्त जीवनको लागि छानिएका थिए। 49 अनि प्रभुको सन्देशले सारा क्षेत्रभरि प्रचार पाइरहेथ्यो। 50 तर यहूदीहरूले शहरका कतिपय मुख्य नारीहरू जो सत्य परमेश्वरको आराधना गरिरहेका थिए, अनि मुख्य पुरूषहरूलाई पावल र बर्णाबासको विरुद्ध उस्काए। ती मानिसहरूले पावल र बर्णाबासलाई सताउने काम शुरू गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई शहरबाट बाहिर निकाले। 51 यसैकारणले पावल र बर्णाबासले तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध आफ्ना खुट्टाका धुलाहरू टक्टकाए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम भन्ने शहरतर्फ लागे। 52 तर एन्टिओकमा भएका चेलाहरू आनन्दित र पवित्र आत्माले परिपूर्ण थिए।
