⁵¹ Stephen continued speaking: “You ·stubborn [^Lstiff-necked] people! You have ·not given your hearts to God, nor will you listen to him [^Luncircumcised hearts and ears]! You are always ·against [resisting] what the Holy Spirit is trying to tell you, just as your ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers] were. ⁵² Was there ever a prophet your ·ancestors [forefathers; fathers] did not ·try to hurt [persecute]? They even killed ·the prophets [^Lthose] who ·predicted [foretold; announced beforehand] the coming of the ·One who is good [Righteous One; ^CJesus the Messiah]. And now you have ·turned against [betrayed] and ·killed [murdered] the ·One who is good [Righteous One]. ⁵³ You received the law of Moses, which God gave you through his angels [Gal. 3:19; Heb. 2:2], but you haven’t obeyed it.”
