🇩🇪 Deutsch – Originalversion:

Suche die persönliche Beziehung

Es ist überraschend, liebe Freunde, wenn wir in Apostelgeschichte 21, 27–29 lesen, wie man mit Paulus umgeht. Man fragt ihn nicht einmal, was er eigentlich tut. Man will ihn einfach ergreifen.

Und auch bei Trophimus, dem Epheser, ist es überraschend:
Er wird gar nicht als Mann aus Kleinasien benannt, sondern kurzerhand als Grieche bezeichnet – obwohl er nur in der Stadt gesehen wurde. Eine Annahme wird zur Anklage.

Ich habe mir angewöhnt, auch bei der Bibel zwischen den Zeilen zu lesen.
Mich zu fragen: Was steht da eigentlich wirklich?
Anstatt mich von Menschen mit Argumenten erschlagen zu lassen.

Das nennt man im Glauben: persönliche Beziehung.

Glaubst du nicht?

🇬🇧 English – Translation:

Seek the personal relationship

It is surprising, dear friends, when we read Acts 21:27–29 and see how Paul is treated.
No one asks him what he is doing. They simply want to seize him.

And what they say about Trophimus the Ephesian is just as strange:
They do not refer to him as a man from Asia Minor, but simply call him a Greek – even though he was only seen in the city.
An assumption becomes an accusation.

I’ve learned to read between the lines – even in the Bible.
To ask: What is really written here?
Instead of letting myself be overwhelmed by other people’s arguments.

This is what we call in faith: a personal relationship.

Don’t believe it? Try for yourself.

🇧🇬 Bulgarisch – Превод:

Търси личната връзка

Изненадващо е, скъпи приятели, когато четем Деяния 21:27–29 и виждаме как се отнасят към Павел.
Никой дори не го пита какво прави. Просто искат да го заловят.

Още по-изненадващо е това, което казват за Трофим ефесеца:
Не го наричат човек от Мала Азия, а просто го наричат грък – макар че е бил видян само в града.
Предположението се превръща в обвинение.

Научих се да чета между редовете – дори в Библията.
Да се запитам: Какво всъщност пише тук?
Вместо да се поддавам на чужди аргументи.

Вярата нарича това: лична връзка.
