Acts 19:4

Paul said, “John performed a baptism of repentance, continually telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, [to confidently accept and joyfully believe] in Jesus [the Messiah and Savior].”

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

“That explains it,” said Paul. “John preached a baptism of radical life-change so that people would be ready to receive the One coming after him, who turned out to be Jesus. If you’ve been baptized in John’s baptism, you’re ready now for the real thing, for Jesus.” 5-7 And they were. As soon as they heard of it, they were baptized in the name of the Master Jesus. Paul put his hands on their heads and the Holy Spirit entered them. From that moment on, they were praising God in tongues and talking about God’s actions. Altogether there were about twelve people there that day. 8-10 Paul then went straight to the meeting place. He had the run of the place for three months, doing his best to make the things of the kingdom of God real and convincing to them. But then resistance began to form as some of them began spreading evil rumors through the congregation about the Christian way of life. So Paul left, taking the disciples with him, and set up shop in the school of Tyrannus, holding class there daily. He did this for two years, giving everyone in the province of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, ample opportunity to hear the Message of the Master. Witches Came out of the Woodwork11-12 God did powerful things through Paul, things quite out of the ordinary. The word got around and people started taking pieces of clothing—handkerchiefs and scarves and the like—that had touched Paul’s skin and then touching the sick with them. The touch did it—they were healed and whole. 13-16 Some itinerant Jewish exorcists who happened to be in town at the time tried their hand at what they assumed to be Paul’s “game.” They pronounced the name of the Master Jesus over victims of evil spirits, saying, “I command you by the Jesus preached by Paul!” The seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were trying to do this on a man when the evil spirit talked back: “I know Jesus and I’ve heard of Paul, but who are you?” Then the possessed man went berserk—jumped the exorcists, beat them up, and tore off their clothes. Naked and bloody, they got away as best they could. 17-20 It was soon news all over Ephesus among both Jews and Greeks. The realization spread that God was in and behind this. Curiosity about Paul developed into reverence for the Master Jesus. Many of those who thus believed came out of the closet and made a clean break with their secret sorceries. All kinds of witches and warlocks came out of the woodwork with their books of spells and incantations and made a huge bonfire of them. Someone estimated their worth at fifty thousand silver coins. In such ways it became evident that the Word of the Master was now sovereign and prevailed in Ephesus. The Goddess Artemis21-22 After all this had come to a head, Paul decided it was time to move on to Macedonia and Achaia provinces, and from there to Jerusalem. “Then,” he said, “I’m off to Rome. I’ve got to see Rome!” He sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, on to Macedonia and then stayed for a while and wrapped things up in Asia. 23-26 But before he got away, a huge ruckus occurred over what was now being referred to as “the Way.” A certain silversmith, Demetrius, conducted a brisk trade in the manufacture of shrines to the goddess Artemis, employing a number of artisans in his business. He rounded up his workers and others similarly employed and said, “Men, you well know that we have a good thing going here—and you’ve seen how Paul has barged in and discredited what we’re doing by telling people that there’s no such thing as a god made with hands. A lot of people are going along with him, not only here in Ephesus but all through Asia province.

Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”

Entonces Pablo les explicó: —Juan practicaba el bautismo como signo de arrepentimiento y conversión a Dios; pero él mismo, a los que bautizaba, les decía que debían creer en Jesús, que vendría después de él.

Paul said, “John baptized people, calling them to turn away from their sins. He told them to believe in the one who was coming after him. Jesus is that one.”

Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”

Paul said, ‘John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.’

Paul said, “John’s baptism called for repentance from sin. But John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus.”

Pilato fii adi kɔka kyerɛɛ dɔm no bio se, “Mɛsan de no abrɛ mo ama moahu sɛ minni asɛm biara a megyina so abu no fɔ.”

فَقَالَ بُولُسُ: «كَانَ يُوحَنَّا يُعَمِّدُ بِمَعْمُودِيَّةِ التَّوْبَةِ، وَيَدْعُو الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الإِيمَانِ بِالآتِي بَعْدَهُ، أَيْ بِيَسُوعَ».

Miingon si Pablo kanila, “Ang bautismo ni Juan alang sa mga naghinulsol sa ilang mga sala. Apan nagaingon si Juan sa mga tawo nga kinahanglan silang motuo sa nagasunod kaniya, nga walay lain kondili si Jesus.”

„To je dobře,“ navázal na to Pavel. „Jan křtil ty, kdo vyznávali své hříchy a chtěli jich upřímně zanechat. Snad tedy také víte, že Jan vybízel lidi, aby uvěřili v Ježíše, který vystoupil po něm, a přijali ho jako Vykupitele.“

„Johannes døbte dem, der havde taget afstand fra deres synd, og han sagde til folk, at de skulle tro på én, som kom bagefter ham, det vil sige Jesus.”

Da erklärte Paulus: »Wer sich von Johannes taufen ließ, bekannte damit, dass er zu Gott umkehren will. Johannes hat aber immer gesagt, dass man an den glauben muss, der nach ihm kommt, nämlich an Jesus.«

Pablo les explicó:―El bautismo de Juan no era más que un bautismo de arrepentimiento. Decía al pueblo que creyera en el que venía después de él, es decir, en Jesús.

Pablo les explicó:—El bautismo de Juan no era más que un bautismo de arrepentimiento. Él le decía al pueblo que creyera en el que venía después de él, es decir, en Jesús.

– Oui, reprit Paul, Jean baptisait les Israélites en signe d’un profond changement, mais il leur disait aussi de croire en celui qui viendrait après lui, c’est-à-dire en Jésus.

"טבילתו של יוחנן באה רק להוכיח את הרצון לשוב מן החטא ולהאמין באלוהים," הסביר להם פולוס, "ומי שנטבל חייב להאמין בישוע המשיח, שעל בואו ניבא יוחנן."

Nagsiling si Pablo sa ila, “Ang bautiso ni Juan para sa mga nagahinulsol sang ila mga sala. Pero nagsiling man si Juan sa mga tawo nga dapat sila magtuo sa nagasunod sa iya, nga wala sing iban kundi si Jesus.”

Pavao im reče: 'Ivanovo je krštenje bilo u znak obraćenja, volje da se čovjek odvrati od grijeha i da se obrati Bogu. Sam je Ivan govorio narodu da vjeruju u onoga koji za njim dolazi, u Isusa.'

Allora Paolo spiegò loro: «Quello di Giovanni era un battesimo per dimostrare il desiderio di voler rinunciare al peccato e di volgersi a Dio, ma quelli che lʼhanno ricevuto devono poi credere a Gesù, in colui che, secondo Giovanni, sarebbe venuto dopo di lui».

これを聞いたパウロは、ヨハネのバプテスマは、罪を離れて神に立ち返る決意を表すものだから、それを受けた者が、ヨハネの証言どおり、あとから来られたイエスを信じるのは当然のことだと説明しました。

“요한은 회개의 세례를 주면서 사람들에게 자기 뒤에 오시는 분을 믿으라고 했는데 그분이 곧 예수님이십니다.”

Da forklarte Paulus at Johannes sin dåp var en dåp som viste at de hadde forlatt synden og vendt om til Gud, men at Johannes også underviste at de skulle tro på Jesus, han som kom etter ham.

Paulus zei: ‘Johannes doopte mensen die tot bekering waren gekomen en hij zei dat zij moesten geloven in degene die na hem zou komen, dat is Jezus!’

—Jan zanurzał ludzi w wodzie na znak opamiętania, wzywając ich, aby uwierzyli w Tego, który przyjdzie po nim, czyli w Jezusa—wyjaśnił Paweł.

Disse Paulo: “O batismo de João foi um batismo de arrependimento. Ele dizia ao povo que cresse naquele que viria depois dele, isto é, em Jesus”.

Paulo explicou-lhes então que o batismo de João servia para manifestar o desejo de nos desviarmos do pecado e nos voltarmos para Deus, mas que os que recebiam esse batismo tinham de dar um passo em frente e crer em Jesus, aquele que João dissera que viria mais tarde.

Shina nijpimi, Pabloca:–Juanca paipajman shamujcunataca: “Ñucapaj q'uipa shamujta cringuichij” nircami. Chashna nishpami, Diospajman cutirijcunataca bautiźarca. Jesustaca, Quishpichij Cristo cashcata crichun nishpami chashna nirca– nishpami alli entendichirca.

Pavel a zis:– Ioan a botezat cu botezul pocăinţei şi spunea poporului să creadă în Cel Ce vine după el, adică în Isus.

Паул сказал:– Обряд погружения в воду, который совершал Яхия, был знаком покаяния. Он призывал народ верить в Того, Кто должен был прийти после него, то есть в Ису.

Паул сказал:– Обряд погружения в воду, который совершал Яхия, был знаком покаяния. Он призывал народ верить в Того, Кто должен был прийти после него, то есть в Ису.

Павлус сказал:– Обряд погружения в воду, который совершал Яхьё, был знаком покаяния. Он призывал народ верить в Того, Кто должен был прийти после него, то есть в Исо.

Павел сказал:– Крещение Иоанна было крещением покаяния. Он призывал народ верить в Того, Кто должен был прийти после него, то есть в Иисуса.

Tu im Pavol vysvetlil: Ján krstil tých, ktorí oľutovali svoje hriechy a odvrátili sa od nich, ale nabádal ľudí, aby uverili v toho, kto príde po ňom -- v Ježiša.

Då förklarade Paulus för dem att Johannes dop var ett omvändelsens dop och att Johannes också uppmanade folket att tro på Jesus, den som kom efter honom.

Paulo akasema, “Yohana alipobatiza, aliwaambia watu watubu dhambi na kumwamini atakayekuja baada yake, yaani, Yesu.”

เปาโลจึงกล่าวว่า “บัพติศมาของยอห์นคือบัพติศมาที่แสดงการกลับใจใหม่ ยอห์นได้บอกประชาชนให้เชื่อในพระองค์ผู้ซึ่งมาภายหลังท่านคือให้เชื่อในพระเยซู”

保罗说：“约翰的洗礼是悔改的洗礼，约翰告诉百姓要信在他以后来的那位——耶稣。”

保 罗 说 ： 约 翰 所 行 的 是 悔 改 的 洗 ， 告 诉 百 姓 当 信 那 在 他 以 後 要 来 的 ， 就 是 耶 稣 。

保羅說：「約翰的洗禮是悔改的洗禮，約翰告訴百姓要信在他以後來的那位——耶穌。」
