Acts 7:46-59
-
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
-
47 But Solomon built him an house.
-
48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
-
49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
-
50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
-
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
-
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
-
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
-
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
-
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
-
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
-
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
-
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
-
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
