于是保罗挽手分诉说,亚基帕王阿,犹太人所告我的一切事,今日得在你面前分诉,实在万幸。
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
保罗说,无论是少劝,是多劝,我向神所求的,不但你一个人,就是今天一切听我的,都要像我一样,只是不要像我有这些锁链。
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
在亚伯拉罕的日子,那地有一次饥荒。这时又有饥荒,以撒就往基拉耳去,到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
他在那里住了许久。有一天,非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看,见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
亚比米勒召了以撒来,对他说,她实在是你的妻子,你怎吗说她是你的妹子。以撒说,我心里想,恐怕我因她而死。
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
他有羊群牛群,又有许多仆人,非利士人就嫉妒他。
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
亚比米勒对以撒说,你离开我们去吧。因为你比我们强盛得多。
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争竞,说,这水是我们的。以撒就给那井起名叫埃色(埃色就是相争的意思),因为他们和他相争。
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
当夜耶和华向他显现,说,我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的神,不要惧怕,因为我与你同在,要赐福给你,并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故,使你的后裔繁多。
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
以撒就在那里筑了一座坛,求告耶和华的名,并且支搭帐棚。他的仆人便在那里挖了一口井。
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
