Prvé prenasledovanie cirkvi
8 Saul schvaľoval, že Štefana zabili. Hneď v ten deň vypuklo veľké prenasledovanie cirkvi. Všetci kresťania sa rozpŕchli po Judsku a Samárii.
2 V Jeruzaleme zostali iba apoštoli. Niektorí zbožní muži pochovali Štefana a hlboko za ním žialili.
3 A Saul sa s veľkým zápalom usiloval cirkev zničiť: vtrhával do súkromných domov a zatýkal veriacich mužov aj ženy, ktorí sa tam schádzali.
Filip v Samárii
4 Ale veriaci, ktorí utiekli z Jeruzalema, všade, kde len prišli, šírili dobré zvesti o Ježišovi.
5 Filip, ďalší zo siedmich zvolených pracovníkov, sa dostal do mesta Samária a tam kázal o Kristovi.
6 Celé zástupy ho pozorne počúvali, najmä keď sa stali svedkami Filipových zázračných činov.
7 Uzdravil mnohých posadnutých démonmi, ochrnutých aj chromých.
8 V celom meste zavládla veľká radosť.
9 V Samárii žil istý Šimon a už dlhé roky svojimi čarodejnými trikmi a mágiou uchvacoval ľudí.
10 Tešil sa veľkej autorite u jednoduchých aj významných ľudí a
11 všeobecne sa súdilo, že jeho moc pochádza od Boha.
12 Ale keď uverili Filipovej zvesti o Božom kráľovstve a o Ježišovi Kristovi, dávali sa krstiť muži aj ženy.
13 Tu uveril aj Šimon, dal sa tiež pokrstiť a takmer sa nepohol od Filipa, uchvátený mimoriadnymi zázrakmi, ktoré Filip robil.
14 Keď sa apoštoli v Jeruzaleme dozvedeli, že aj Samária prijala Božiu zvesť, vyslali ta Petra a Jána.
15 Hneď ako ta prišli, prosili Boha, aby daroval týmto novým kresťanom Svätého Ducha,
16 lebo doposiaľ ho ešte nik z nich neprijal, hoci boli pokrstení v mene Pána Ježiša Krista.
17 Peter a Ján vložili teda ruky na týchto veriacich a dostali Ducha Svätého.
18 Keď Šimon videl, že veriaci dostávajú Svätého Ducha, keď apoštoli vkladajú na nich ruky, ponúkol im peniaze
19 s prosbou: Dajte aj mne túto moc, aby každý, na koho položím ruky, dostal Svätého Ducha!"
20 Peter mu odpovedal: Tie tvoje peniaze ťa privedú do skazy. Myslíš si azda, že sa Boží dar dá kúpiť?
21 Nedostaneš z tohto daru, lebo tvoje srdce nie je úprimné pred Bohom.
22 Zanechaj preto túto ohavnosť a pros Boha. Možno ti odpustí tvoje zvrátené zmýšľanie,
23 lebo vidím, že si plný trpkej závisti a že si v zajatí zloby."
24 Šimon zahanbene prosil: Modlite sa za mňa, aby ma nepostihlo to, čím sa mi vyhrážate."
25 Peter a Ján dôrazne vydávali svedectvo a kázali slovo Pánovo. Potom sa vrátili do Jeruzalema, no cestou sa zastavili vo viacerých samaritánskych mestečkách a šírili aj tam radostnú zvesť o záchrane v Kristu.
Filip a etiópsky dvoran
26 Filip dostal pokyn od Božieho anjela: Pober sa smerom na juh, na osamelú cestu, ktorá vedie z Jeruzalema do Gazy."
27 Filip sa hneď vydal na cestu. Onedlho zazrel sprievod etiópskeho hodnostára, správcu pokladu etiópskej kráľovnej Kandaky. Bol v Jeruzaleme vzývať Boha
28 a teraz sa vracal a v koči si čítal zvitok proroka Izaiáša.
29 Boží Duch vnukol Filipovi: Dobehni ten koč!"
30 Filip k nemu pribehol, a tu počuje, že si černoch nahlas číta Izaiášovo proroctvo. Spýtal sa ho: Rozumieš tomu, čo čítaš?"
31 Etiópčan odpovedal: Nerozumiem. Potreboval by som, aby mi to niekto vysvetlil. Prisadni si ku mne a vylož mi to."
32 Práve dočítal slová: Ako ovca, keď ju vedú zarezať, ako baranček, keď ho strihajú, ani on neotvoril ústa.
33 Ponížil sa, preto bol súd nad ním zrušený. A jeho potomkov kto zráta? Lebo na zemi sa jeho život skončí."
34 Dvoran sa spýtal Filipa: Prosím ťa, to hovoril prorok o sebe, alebo o niekom inom?"
35 A tak Filip nadviazal na tieto prorocké slová a ukázal, ako sa splnili na Ježišovi.
36 Cestou došli k akejsi vode. Dvoran zvolal: Pozri, voda! Mohol by som byť aj ja pokrstený?"
37 Filip mu odpovedal: Ak si uveril celým srdcom, prečo nie?" Dvoran vyznal: Verím, že Ježiš Kristus je Boží Syn."
38 Dal zastaviť koč, vstúpil s Filipom do vody a Filip ho pokrstil.
39 Keď sa vrátili na breh, Pánov Duch spôsobil, že sa Filip stratil dvoranovi spred očí. Musel teda pokračovať v ceste sám, ale v srdci prežíval veľkú radosť.
40 Filip sa potom zjavil v Azote, prešiel celým krajom až k Cézarey a v každom meste šíril radostnú zvesť o Ježišovi.
Acts 8
New International Version
Acts 8
New International Version
8 And Saul(A) approved of their killing him.
The Church Persecuted and Scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered(B) throughout Judea and Samaria.(C) 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul(D) began to destroy the church.(E) Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Philip in Samaria
4 Those who had been scattered(F) preached the word wherever they went.(G) 5 Philip(H) went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many,(I) and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.(J) 8 So there was great joy in that city.
Simon the Sorcerer
9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery(K) in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,(L) 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”(M) 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God(N) and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized,(O) both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles(P) he saw.
14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria(Q) had accepted the word of God,(R) they sent Peter and John(S) to Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,(T) 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them;(U) they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.(V) 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them,(W) and they received the Holy Spirit.(X)
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!(Y) 21 You have no part or share(Z) in this ministry, because your heart is not right(AA) before God. 22 Repent(AB) of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me(AC) so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord(AD) and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.(AE)
Philip and the Ethiopian
26 Now an angel(AF) of the Lord said to Philip,(AG) “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a](AH) eunuch,(AI) an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,(AJ) 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told(AK) Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[b](AL)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(AM) with that very passage of Scripture(AN) and told him the good news(AO) about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”(AP) [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away,(AQ) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns(AR) until he reached Caesarea.(AS)
