Acts 7
Christian Standard Bible
Stephen’s Sermon
7 “Are these things true?” the high priest asked.
2 “Brothers and fathers,” he replied, “listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,(A) 3 and said to him: Leave your country and relatives, and come to the land that I will show you.[a](B)
4 “Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this land in which you are now living.(C) 5 He didn’t give him an inheritance in it—not even a foot of ground—but he promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him,(D) even though he was childless. 6 God spoke in this way: His descendants would be strangers in a foreign country, and they would enslave and oppress them for four hundred years. 7 I will judge the nation that they will serve as slaves, God said. After this, they will come out and worship me in this place.[b](E) 8 And so he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. After this, he fathered Isaac and circumcised(F) him on the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.(G)
The Patriarchs in Egypt
9 “The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him(H) 10 and rescued him out of all his troubles. He gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him ruler over Egypt and over his whole household.(I) 11 Now a famine and great suffering came over all of Egypt and Canaan,(J) and our ancestors could find no food. 12 When Jacob heard there was grain in Egypt, he sent our ancestors there the first time. 13 The second time, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh. 14 Joseph invited his father Jacob and all his relatives, seventy-five people in all,(K) 15 and Jacob went down to Egypt. He and our ancestors died there,(L) 16 were carried back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.(M)
Moses, a Rejected Savior
17 “As the time was approaching to fulfill the promise that God had made to Abraham, the people flourished and multiplied in Egypt(N) 18 until a different king who did not know Joseph ruled over Egypt.[c] 19 He dealt deceitfully with our race and oppressed our ancestors by making them abandon their infants outside so that they wouldn’t survive.(O) 20 At this time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in God’s sight. He was cared for in his father’s home for three months. 21 When he was put outside, Pharaoh’s daughter adopted and raised him as her own son.(P) 22 So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his speech and actions.(Q)
23 “When he was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites. 24 When he saw one of them being mistreated, he came to his rescue and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian. 25 He assumed his people would understand that God would give them deliverance through him, but they did not understand. 26 The next day he showed up while they were fighting and tried to reconcile them peacefully, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why are you mistreating each other?’ (R)
27 “But the one who was mistreating his neighbor pushed Moses aside, saying: Who appointed you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me, the same way you killed the Egyptian yesterday?[d](S)
29 “When he heard this, Moses fled and became an exile in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.(T) 30 After forty years had passed, an angel[e] appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush. 31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight. As he was approaching to look at it, the voice of the Lord came: 32 I am the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.[f](U) Moses began to tremble and did not dare to look.
33 “The Lord said to him: Take off the sandals from your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy ground. 34 I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. And now, come, I will send you to Egypt.[g](V)
35 “This Moses, whom they rejected when they said, Who appointed you a ruler and a judge?[h]—this one God sent as a ruler and a deliverer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.(W) 36 This man led them out and performed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt,(X) at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.(Y)
Israel’s Rebellion against God
37 “This is the Moses who said to the Israelites: God[i] will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.[j](Z) 38 He is the one who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors.(AA) He received living oracles to give to us.(AB) 39 Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him. Instead, they pushed him aside, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.(AC) 40 They told Aaron: Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what’s happened to him.[k](AD) 41 They even made a calf in those days, offered sacrifice to the idol, and were celebrating what their hands had made.(AE) 42 God turned away(AF) and gave them up to worship(AG) the stars of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
House of Israel, did you bring me offerings and sacrifices
for forty years in the wilderness?
43 You took up the tent of Moloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship.
So I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.[l](AH)
God’s Real Tabernacle
44 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern he had seen.(AI) 45 Our ancestors in turn received it and with Joshua brought it in when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before them,(AJ) until the days of David. 46 He found favor in God’s sight and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God[m] of Jacob.(AK) 47 It was Solomon, rather, who built him a house,(AL) 48 but the Most High does not dwell in sanctuaries made with hands, as the prophet says:(AM)
49 Heaven is my throne,
and the earth my footstool.
What sort of house will you build for me?
says the Lord,
or what will be my resting place?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?[n](AN)
Resisting the Holy Spirit
51 “You stiff-necked(AO) people with uncircumcised hearts and ears!(AP) You are always resisting the Holy Spirit. As your ancestors did, you do also. 52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute?(AQ) They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers(AR) you have now become. 53 You received the law under the direction of angels(AS) and yet have not kept it.”
The First Christian Martyr
54 When they heard these things, they were enraged[o] and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.(AT) 56 He said, “Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” (AU)
57 They yelled at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him. 58 They dragged him out of the city and began to stone(AV) him. And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.(AW) 59 While they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” (AX) 60 He knelt down and cried out with a loud voice,(AY) “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after saying this, he fell asleep.(AZ)

Stephen’s Defense
7 Now the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
2 And [a]Stephen said, “Listen to me, [b](A)brothers and fathers! (B)The God of glory (C)appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in [c]Haran, 3 and He said to him, ‘(D)Go from your country and your relatives, and come to the land which I will show you.’ 4 (E)Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in [d]Haran. And (F)from there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living. 5 But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, (G)He promised that He would give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he had no child. 6 But (H)God spoke to this effect, that his descendants would be strangers in a land that was not theirs, and [e]they would enslave and mistreat them for four hundred years. 7 ‘And whatever nation to which they are enslaved I Myself will judge,’ said God, ‘and (I)after that they will come out and [f]serve Me in this place.’ 8 And He (J)gave him [g]the covenant of circumcision; and so (K)Abraham fathered Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and (L)Isaac fathered Jacob, and (M)Jacob, the twelve (N)patriarchs.
9 “The patriarchs (O)became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him, 10 and rescued him from all his afflictions, and (P)granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and his entire household.
11 “Now (Q)a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers [h]could find no food. 12 But (R)when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. 13 And on the second visit, (S)Joseph [i]made himself known to his brothers, and (T)Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh. 14 Then (U)Joseph sent word and invited his father Jacob and all his relatives to come to him, (V)seventy-five [j](W)people in all. 15 And (X)Jacob went down to Egypt, and he and our fathers died there. 16 And they were brought back from there to [k](Y)Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of [l]Hamor in [m]Shechem.
17 “But as the (Z)time of the promise which God had assured to Abraham was approaching, (AA)the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, 18 until (AB)another king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph. 19 It was he who (AC)shrewdly took advantage of our nation and mistreated our fathers in order that they would (AD)abandon their infants in the Nile, so that they would not survive. 20 At this time (AE)Moses was born; and he was beautiful to God. He was nurtured for three months in his father’s home. 21 And after he had been put outside, (AF)Pharaoh’s daughter [n]took him away and nurtured him as her own son. 22 Moses was educated in all (AG)the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was proficient in [o]speaking and action. 23 But when he was approaching the age of forty, (AH)it entered his [p]mind to visit his countrymen, the sons of Israel. 24 And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended and took vengeance for the oppressed man by fatally striking the Egyptian. 25 And he thought that his brothers understood that God was granting them [q]deliverance [r]through him; but they did not understand. 26 (AI)And on the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting each other, and he tried to reconcile them to peace, by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers, why are you injuring each other?’ 27 But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘(AJ)Who made you a ruler and judge over us? 28 (AK)You do not intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday, do you?’ 29 At this remark, (AL)Moses fled and became a stranger in the land of [s]Midian, where he (AM)fathered two sons.
30 “After forty years had passed, (AN)an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn bush. 31 When Moses saw it, he was astonished at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came: 32 ‘(AO)I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses shook with fear and did not dare to look closely. 33 (AP)But the Lord said to him, ‘[t](AQ)Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground. 34 (AR)I have certainly seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them; and (AS)now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
35 “This Moses whom they (AT)disowned, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ is the one whom God [u]sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the [v]help of the angel who appeared to him in the thorn bush. 36 (AU)This man led them out, performing (AV)wonders and [w]signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea, and in the (AW)wilderness for forty years. 37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘(AX)God will raise up for you a prophet [x]like me from your countrymen.’ 38 This is the one who was in (AY)the [y]assembly in the wilderness together with (AZ)the angel who spoke to him at length on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received (BA)living (BB)words to pass on to you. 39 Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him; on the contrary they (BC)rejected him and turned back to Egypt in their hearts, 40 (BD)saying to Aaron, ‘Make us [z]a god who will go before us; for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what happened to him.’ 41 [aa]At that time (BE)they made a [ab]calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in (BF)the works of their hands. 42 But God (BG)turned away and gave them over to [ac]serve the heavenly [ad]lights; as it is written in the book of the prophets: ‘(BH)You did not offer Me victims and sacrifices (BI)for forty years in the wilderness, did you, house of Israel? 43 (BJ)You also took along the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god [ae]Rompha, the images which you made to worship. I also will deport you beyond Babylon.’
44 “Our fathers had (BK)the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it (BL)according to the pattern which he had seen. 45 Our fathers in turn received it, and they also (BM)brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the [af]nations that God drove out from our fathers, until the time of David. 46 [ag](BN)David found favor in God’s sight, and (BO)asked that he might [ah]find a dwelling place for the [ai]house of Jacob. 47 But it was (BP)Solomon who built a house for Him. 48 However, (BQ)the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:
49 ‘(BR)Heaven is My throne,
And the earth is the footstool of My feet;
What kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord,
‘Or what place is there for My rest?
50 (BS)Was it not My hand that made all these things?’
51 “You men who are (BT)stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did. 52 (BU)Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of (BV)the Righteous One, and (BW)you have now become betrayers and murderers of Him; 53 you who received the Law as (BX)ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it.”
Stephen Put to Death
54 Now when they heard this, they were (BY)infuriated, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. 55 But he, being (BZ)full of the Holy Spirit, (CA)looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing (CB)at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, “Behold, I see the (CC)heavens opened and (CD)the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But they shouted with loud voices, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one [aj]mind. 58 When they had (CE)driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and (CF)the witnesses (CG)laid aside their cloaks at the feet of (CH)a young man named Saul. 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he (CI)called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then he (CJ)fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, (CK)do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he [ak](CL)fell asleep.

New Russian Translation
Речь Стефана перед Высшим Советом
7 Затем первосвященник спросил Стефана:
– Это так?
2 Стефан ответил:
– Братья и отцы! Выслушайте меня. Бог славы явился нашему праотцу Аврааму, когда он жил еще в Месопотамии – до того, как он поселился в Харране. 3 «Оставь свою страну и своих родственников, – сказал Он ему, – и иди в землю, которую Я тебе укажу»[a]. 4 Авраам покинул страну халдеев и поселился в Харране. Оттуда, после смерти его отца, Бог переселил Авраама в страну, в которой вы сейчас живете[b]. 5 Он не дал ему здесь никакого наследия, не дал земли даже на ширину ступни[c]. Но Бог обещал дать эту землю во владение ему и его потомкам, хотя в то время у Авраама не было ребенка. 6 Бог говорил ему: «Твои потомки будут странниками в чужой земле; они будут обращены в рабство и будут терпеть зло четыреста лет. 7 Но Я накажу народ, поработивший их, – сказал Бог, – и тогда они выйдут оттуда и будут служить Мне на этом месте»[d]. 8 Затем Он дал Аврааму завет обрезания[e]. Авраам стал отцом Исаака и обрезал его на восьмой день после рождения, Исаак же стал отцом Иакова, а Иаков – двенадцати патриархов[f].
9 Патриархи из зависти к Иосифу продали его в Египет. Но Бог был с ним 10 и избавил его от всех бед. Он дал Иосифу мудрость и помог ему заслужить расположение фараона, царя Египта. Тот сделал Иосифа правителем всего Египта и всего своего дома. 11 Затем во всем Египте и в Ханаане начался голод и великое бедствие, и наши праотцы не могли найти пищи. 12 Когда Иаков услышал о том, что в Египте есть зерно, он послал туда наших праотцев в первый раз. 13 Когда они пришли во второй раз, Иосиф открылся своим братьям, и фараон узнал о родственниках Иосифа. 14 После этого Иосиф послал за своим отцом Иаковом и за всеми своими родственниками, которых насчитывалось семьдесят пять человек. 15 Иаков пришел в Египет, где умерли и он, и наши праотцы. 16 Тела их были перенесены в Шехем и положены в гробницу, которую Авраам купил за серебро у сыновей Хамора в Шехеме[g].
17 По мере того как приближалось время исполнения обещаний, данных Богом Аврааму, возрастала численность нашего народа в Египте. 18 Так продолжалось, пока в Египте не пришел к власти другой царь, который не знал про Иосифа. 19 Он притеснял наших предков, действуя с коварством против нашего народа: он заставлял их выбрасывать новорожденных младенцев, чтобы те умирали.
20 В это время родился Моисей, прекрасный перед Богом. Три месяца его вскармливали в отцовском доме, 21 а когда вынуждены были расстаться с ним, его подобрала дочь фараона и воспитала, как своего собственного сына. 22 Моисей был научен всей египетской мудрости; он был силен и в слове, и в деле[h]. 23 Когда ему было сорок лет, он решил навестить своих братьев израильтян. 24 Увидев, что одного из них обижает египтянин, он вступился и отомстил, убив обидчика. 25 Моисей думал, его братья поймут, что Бог через него дает им избавление, но они не поняли. 26 На следующий день Моисей увидел, как двое израильтян дерутся. Он попытался помирить их. «Вы же братья, – говорил он, – зачем вы обижаете друг друга?» 27 Тогда обидчик оттолкнул Моисея и сказал: «Кто поставил тебя начальником и судьей над нами? 28 Или ты хочешь убить и меня, как вчера убил египтянина?» 29 Услышав такие слова, Моисей бежал и поселился в мадианской земле как чужеземец. Там у него родились два сына[i].
30 Через сорок лет Моисею явился Ангел в пламени горящего тернового куста в пустыне, недалеко от горы Синай. 31 Моисей был поражен, когда это увидел. Он подошел ближе, чтобы лучше рассмотреть, и услышал голос Господа: 32 «Я Бог твоих отцов, Бог Авраама, Исаака и Иакова». Моисей дрожал от страха и не решался поднять глаз. 33 Господь сказал ему: «Сними свою обувь, потому что место, на котором ты стоишь, – святая земля[j]. 34 Я увидел угнетение Моего народа в Египте и услышал их стоны. Я сошел, чтобы освободить их. А теперь иди, Я посылаю тебя в Египет»[k].
35 Того самого Моисея, которого они отвергли и о котором говорили: «Кто поставил тебя начальником и судьей?»[l] – Бог посылал теперь как вождя и избавителя через Ангела, Который явился ему в терновом кусте. 36 Моисей вывел их из Египта, совершая чудеса и знамения в Египте, у Красного моря и в пустыне на протяжении сорока лет. 37 Этот же самый Моисей сказал израильтянам: «Из ваших же братьев Бог поставит вам Пророка подобного мне»[m]. 38 Он, Моисей, – тот самый человек, который был с народом Израиля, собранным в пустыне; он был там с Ангелом, Который говорил с ним на горе Синай, и с нашими отцами. Он принял живые слова, чтобы передать их нам.
39 Наши отцы, однако, отказались повиноваться ему, но отвергли его и захотели вернуться в Египет. 40 Они сказали Аарону: «Сделай нам богов, которые пойдут перед нами, потому что мы не знаем, что приключилось с этим Моисеем, выведшим нас из Египта»[n]. 41 В те дни они сделали золотого тельца, принесли этому идолу жертву и радовались делу своих рук. 42 Бог же отвернулся от них и оставил их поклоняться небесным телам, как об этом написано в Книге Пророков:
«Приносили ли вы Мне заклания и жертвы
в течение сорока лет в пустыне, дом Израиля?
43 Вы взяли с собой шатер Молоха[o],
звезду вашего бога Ремфана
и изображения, которые вы сделали для поклонения.
Поэтому Я пошлю вас в плен дальше Вавилона»[p].
44 У наших отцов в пустыне была скиния свидетельства, сделанная согласно указаниям, которые Бог дал Моисею, и по образцу, который увидел Моисей. 45 Получив эту скинию, наши отцы, под предводительством Иисуса Навина, внесли ее во владения народов, которых Бог изгнал перед ними. И так было до времен царствования Давида, 46 который был любим Богом и просил у Него позволения найти жилище для Бога Иакова[q]. 47 Однако дом Ему построил Соломон. 48 Но Всевышний не живет в домах, построенных людьми. Пророк говорит об этом:
49 «Небеса – престол Мой,
и земля – подножие ног Моих!
Какой вы можете построить Мне дом? –
говорит Господь. –
Где может быть место отдыха для Меня?
50 Разве не Моей рукой все это сотворено?»[r]
51 Вы – упрямый народ с необрезанными сердцами и ушами![s] Вы всегда противитесь Святому Духу, как и ваши отцы! 52 Кого из пророков ваши отцы не преследовали? Они убили тех, кто предсказывал пришествие Праведного, предателями и убийцами Которого стали теперь вы! 53 Приняв Закон, переданный вам через ангелов, вы не соблюли его.
Убийство Стефана
54 Услышав это, они пришли в ярость и начали скрежетать зубами от злости на Стефана. 55 Стефан же, исполненный Святого Духа, поднял глаза к небу и увидел славу Божью и Иисуса, стоящего по правую руку от Бога[t].
56 – Смотрите, – сказал он, – я вижу открытые небеса и Сына Человеческого, стоящего по правую руку от Бога!
57 Тогда они все вместе, заткнув уши, с громким криком бросились на него. 58 Они выволокли Стефана за пределы города и стали бросать в него камни. Свидетели обвинения оставили свои плащи у ног молодого человека по имени Савл. 59 Когда они бросали в Стефана камни, тот молился:
– Господь Иисус, прими дух мой!
60 Потом он пал на колени и громко воскликнул:
– Господи, не наказывай их за этот грех!
С этими словами он умер.
