What can we who are called of God to finish it learn from their story? The Book of Acts Our Goal What the early church was able to accomplish is a perpetual testimony of what God can do through those who humble their hearts in prayer, live beyond individual differences, and let themselves be used by the Spirit for God’s honor and glory. What can we who are called of God to finish it learn from their story? Ang Ating Mithiin. Kung ano ang nagawa ng unang iglesya ay isang patuloy na patotoo nang magagawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan nung magpapakumbaba ng puso sa panalangin, mamumuhay lampas sa indibiduwal na pagkakaiba, at bayaan ang sarili na magamit ng Espiritu para sa karangalan at kaluwalhatian ng Diyos. ¶ Tayong mga tinawagan ng Diyos para tapusin ito [ang pinasimulan ng unang iglesya], ano ang matututunan natin mula sa kanilang kuwento?

The Third Missionary Journey The Book of Acts Lesson 10, September 8 The Third Missionary Journey Ang Ikatlong Paglalakabay Misyonero

The Third Missionary Journey Key Text Acts 20:24 NRSV “But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God’s grace.” Susing Talata. “Ngunit hindi ko itinuturing ang aking buhay na mahalaga sa aking sarili, upang maganap ko lamang ang aking katungkulan at ang ministeryong tinanggap ko sa Panginoong Jesus, na magpatotoo sa magandang balita ng biyaya ng Diyos” (Gawa 20:24).

The Third Missionary Journey Initial Words The focal point of the journey was Ephesus, where Paul spent more time than in any other cityin the course of his journeys. From the evangelistic standpoint, the ministry in Ephesus was very fruitful; the impact of Paul’s preaching reached the whole province of Asia (Acts 19:10, 26). Panimulang Salita. Ang sentrong pokus ng paglalakbay ay ang Efeso, kung saan ginugol ni Pedro ang mas maraming panahon kaysa alinmang lunsod sa takbo ng kanyang mga paglalakbay. ¶ Mula sa ebanghelistikong paniniwala, ang ministri sa Efeso ay talagang mabunga; ang epekto ng pangangaral ni Pablo ay narating ang buong lalawigan ng Asia (Gawa 19:10, 26).

The Third Missionary Journey 1. Ephesus: Part 1, 2 Acts 18:24-26; 19:7, 11-19 NKJV “A certain Jew named Apollos...an elo- quent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. ... He spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. ... When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God.... 1. Efeso: Una at Ikalawang Bahagi. “Dumating noon sa Efeso ang isang Judio na ang pangalan ay Apolos.... Siya ay mahusay magsalita at dalubhasa sa mga kasulatan. ... At siya ay nagsimulang magsalita at dalubhasa sa mga kasulatan. ... Nagsalita siya at nagturo nang wasto tungkol kay Jesus, bagaman ang nalalaman lamang niya ay ang bautismo ni Juan. ... ¶ Nang siya’y marinig nina Priscila at Aquila ay kanilang isinama siya at ipinaliwanag sa kanya nang mas matuwid ang Daan ng Diyos (Acts 18:24-26).

1. Ephesus: Part 1, 2 Acts 18:24-26; 19:7, 11-19 NKJV Paul said, ‘John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying...that they should believe...on Christ Jesus.’ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Now the men were about twelve in all. “Sinabi ni Pablo, ‘Nagbautismo si Juan ng bautismo ng pagsisisi, na sinasabi...na sila’y manampalataya... kay Jesus.’ Nang kanilang marinig ito, sila’y binautismuhan sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus. ¶ Nang maipatong na ni Pablo sa kanila ang kanyang mga kamay, bumaba sa kanila ang Espiritu Santo at sila’y nagsalita ng mga wika at nagpropesiya. Silang lahat ay may labindalawang lalaki” (Gawa 19:4-7).

miracles by the hands of Paul, 1. Ephesus: Part 1, 2 Acts 18:24-26; 19:7, 11-19 NKJV Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.” Gumawa ang Diyos ng mga di-pangkaraniwang himala sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay ni Pablo, ¶ kaya’t nang ang mga panyo o mga tapis na napadikit sa kanyang katawan ay dinala sa mga maysakit, nawala sa kanila ang mga sakit, at lumabas sa kanila ang masasamang espiritu (Gawa 19:11-19 ).

Ephesus: Part 1 The Baptist’s Disciples Apollos a Jewish believer came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man and well-versed in the Scriptures. He was a follower of Jesus, yet, knew only John’s baptism. Aquila and Priscilla would give him further instruction and with believers in Ephesus, they gave him a recommen- dation letter addressed to the churches in Achaia for his ministry in Corinth. Ang mga Alagad ng Bautista. Si Apolos, isang Judiong mananampalataya ay dumating sa Efeso. Siya’y mahusay na mananalumpati at bihasa sa Kasulatan. Siya ay isang tagasunod ni Jesus, gayunman, ang alam lang niya ay ang bautismo ni Juan. Bibigyan siya nila Aquila at Priscila ng karagdagang pagtuturo at binigyan nila siya ng isang rekomendasyong liham sa mga iglesya sa Acaia para sa kanyang ministri sa Corinto.

Ephesus: Part 1 The Baptist’s Disciples “On his arrival at Ephesus, Paul found twelve brethren, who, like Apollos, had been disciples of John the Baptist, and like him had gained some knowledge of the mission of Christ. They had not the ability of Apollos, but with the same sincerity and faith they were seeking to spread abroad the knowl- edge they had received.”—The Acts of the Apostles 282. “Pagdating ni Pablo sa Efeso, nasumpungan ni Pablo ang 12 na kapatid, na, gaya ni Apolos, ay dating mga alagad ni Juan Bautista, at gaya niya ay nakaalam ng kaunti sa misyon ni Cristo. Wala sila ng abilidad ni Apolos, subalit sa katulad na katapatan at pananampalataya ay sinisikap nilang ikalat sa ibang bansa ang kaalamang tinanggap.”—The Acts of the Apostles 282. 


Ephesus: Part 1 The Baptist’s Disciples We should view their new baptism in light of this unique situation. They were not coming from another Christian deno-mination, nor were they experiencing conversion. They were only being integ- rated into mainstream Christianity. That they received the Spirit and spoke in tongues probably means they were now were being empowered. Dapat nating tingnan ang kanilang bagong bautismo sa liwanag nitong bukod-tanging sitwasyon. Hindi sila nagmumula sa ibang Kristiyanong denominasyon, ni dumaranas sila ng pagbabalik-loob. Sila ay isinasama lang sa pangunahing kalakaran ng Kristiyanismo. ¶ Dahil tinanggap nila ang Espiritu at nagsalita sa mga wika ay marahil nangangahulugang sila na ngayon ay lubos na binigyang kapangyarihang sumaksi.

Ephesus: Part 2 Miraculous Healings There is no doubt that God could heal through Paul, but that even handker-chiefs and aprons touched by the apostle had healing power (Acts 19:12). The Ephesian superstitious beliefs may have led God to perform “extraordinary” miracles. This is an example of God’s meeting the needs of the people at their own level of understanding. Mahimalang Pagpapagaling. Walang duda na ang Diyos ay makapagpapagaling sa pamamagitan ni Pablo, subalit ang kahit na mga panyo at tapis na nahipo ng apostol ay may kapangyarihang magpagaling (Gawa 19:12). ¶ Ang mga mapamahiing paniniwala sa Efeso ay maaaring umakay sa Diyos na gumawa ng “di-karaniwang” mga himala. Ito ay isang halimbawa na sinasapatan ng Diyos ang mga pangangailangan ng tao ayon sa antas ng kanilang pagkaunawa.


Even till daybreak, he departed. The Third Missionary Journey 2. Troas and Miletus Acts 20:6-12, 28-31 NKJV “Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together. ... Even till daybreak, he departed. 2. Troas at Mileto. “Nang unang araw ng sanlinggo, nang kami ay nagtitipon upang magputul-putol ng tinapay, si Pablo ay nagsalita sa kanila; yamang nagbabalak siya na umalis kinabukasan, nagpatuloy siya sa pagsasalita hanggang hatinggabi. Maraming ilaw sa silid sa itaas na pinagtipunan namin. ... ¶ Hanggang sa sumikat ang araw, pagkatapos siya’y umalis na” (Gawa 20:6-12).

2. Troas and Miletus Sunday Meeting Paul’s stop-over in Troas ended with a church meeting “on the first day of the week” (Acts 20:7). This episode often is mentioned as evidence that in Paul’s time, at least Gentile churches already had replaced Sabbath with Sunday as a day of worship. Linggong Pagpupulong. Ang sandaling paghinto ni Pablo sa Troas ay natapos sa isang pagpupulong ng iglesya “nang unang araw ng sanlinggo" (Gawa 20:7). ¶ Ang kabanatang ito ay madalas na binabanggit bilang katibayan na sa panahon ni Pablo, kahiman sa mga iglesyang Hentil ay napalitan na ang Sabbath ng Linggo bilang isang araw ng pagsamba.

2. Troas and Miletus Sunday Meeting It is necessary to establish the precise day on which the meeting took place, as well as the nature of the meeting. The reference to the use of lights (Acts 20:8), together with the fact that Paul’s message continued until midnight (Acts 20:7), and then until daybreak (Acts 20:11), makes it clear it was a night meeting. Kinakailangan na matiyak ang eksaktong araw kung kelan nangyari ang pagpupulong, gayon din ang likas ng pagpupulong. ¶ Ang pagbanggit sa paggamit ng mga ilaw (Gawa 20:8), kasama ang katotohanang ang mensahe ni Pablo ay nagpatuloy hanggang hatinggabi (Gawa 20:7), at pagkatapos ay hanggang sumikat ang araw (Gawa 20:11), ay ginagawang malinaw na ito’y isang gabing pagpupulong.

2. Troas and Miletus Sunday Meeting The context of Acts 20:7–12 indicates that, even if the meeting was on a Sunday night, it was not a regular church meeting but a special one due to Paul’s departure the following morning. It is hard to see, then, how this isolated and exceptional episode affords support for Sunday keeping. The fact is, it doesn’t. Ang konteksto ng Gawa 20:7–12 ay nagpapahayag na, kahit na ang pagpupulong ay sa gabi ng Linggo, hindi ito isang regular na pagpupulong ng iglesya kundi isa na espesyal dahil sa pag-alis ni Pablo kinabukasan. ¶ Mahirap makita, kung gayon, kung paano ang namumukod at natatanging kabanata ay nagbibigay ng suporta para sa pangingilin ng Linggo. Ang katotohanan ay, hindi suporta ito.

2. Troas and Miletus Farewell to the Ephesian Elders In Acts 20:28–31, Paul focused on how the church leaders in Ephesus should handle the subject of false teachers, whom he compared to savage wolves who would try to misguide and pervert the flock. So even in the church itself, and even in the earliest days of the church, the danger of false teachers was real. Pamamaalam sa Matatanda ng Efeso. Sa Gawa 20:28–31, nagpokus si Pablo sa kung paano pakikitunguhan ng mga lider sa Efeso ang paksa ng mga bulaang guro, na inihalintulad niya sa mababangis na lubo na magtatangkang iligaw at pasamain ang kawan. ¶ Kaya, kahit sa iglesya mismo, at kahit sa mga unang panahon ng iglesya, ang panganib ng mga bulaang guro ay totoo.

and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.” ’ ” The Third Missionary Journey 3. Tyre and Caesarea Acts 21:10, 11 NKJV “A certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ... He took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, ‘Thus says the Holy Spirit, “So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.” ’ ” 3. Tiro at Cesarea. “Isang propeta na ang pangalan ay Agabo ang dumating mula sa Judea. ... Kinuha niya ang sinturon ni Pablo, at ginapos niya ang kanyang sariling mga paa’t kamay, at sinabi, ‘Ganito ang sinasabi ng Espiritu Santo, “Ganito gagapusin ng mga Judio sa Jerusalem ang lalaking may-ari ng sinturong ito, ¶ at siya’y kanilang ibibigay sa mga kamay ng mga Hentil” ’ ” (Gawa 21:10, 11).

3. Tyre and Caesarea Two Warnings The Spirit may have shown the Tyrean Christians the dangers that lay ahead of Paul; and so, out of human concern, they recommended that he not proceed with his intent. Paul was not sure about what would happen to him in Jerusalem (Acts 20:22, 23). Divine guidance does not always make every-thing clear, even for someone like Paul. Dalawang Babala. Maaaring ipinakita ng Espiritu sa mga Tiranong Kristiyano ang panganib na nakaabang kay Pablo; at kaya, bunga ng pag-aalalang pantao, iminungkahi nila na huwag siyang magpatuloy sa kanyang binabalak. Si Pablo mismo ay hindi nakakatiyak kung ano ang mangyayari sa kanya sa Jerusalem (Gawa 20:22, 23). Ang pangunguna ng Diyos ay hindi laging ginagawang malinaw ang lahat, kahit pa sa isang katulad ni Pablo.

3. Tyre and Caesarea Two Warnings Agabus’s message was taken as as a warning, not as a prophecy, and so they tried to convince the apostle he should not go up to Jerusalem. Paul was determined to accomplish his mission, even at the cost of his own life. For him, the integrity of the gospel and the unity of the church were more im-portant than his own safety or interests. Tinanggap ang mensahe ni Agabo bilang isang babala, hindi isang propesiya, at kaya sinikap nila sa lahat ng paraan na hikayatin ang apostol na hindi dapat siyang pumunta sa Jerusalem. ¶ Desidido si Pablo na tapusin ang kanyang misyon, kahit pa kailanganin ang kanyang buhay. Para sa kanya, ang integridad ng ebanghleyo at ang pagkaka-isa ng iglesya ay mas mahalaga kaysa sa parsonal niyang kaligtasan o interes. 


And they [his enemies] determined that his voice should be silenced.” The Third Missionary Journey Final Words: The Acts of the Apostles 390. “From every quarter were coming accounts of the spread of the new doctrine by which Jews were released from the observance of the rites of the ceremonial law and Gentiles were admitted to equal privileges with the Jews as children of Abraham.... And they [his enemies] determined that his voice should be silenced.” Huling Pananalita. “Mula sa lahat ng dako ay nanggagaling ang mga balita ng pagkalat ng bagong doktrina kung saan ang mga Judio ay napalaya mula sa pagtupad ng mga rito ng kautusang seremonyal at ang mga Hentil ay tinanggap sa pantay na prebilehiyo ng mga Judio bilang mga anak ni Abraham.... ¶ At pinagpasyahan nila [kanyang mga kaaway] na dapat patahimikin ang kanyang tinig.”—The Acts of the Apostles 390.
