New Testament in a Year
44 [a]Our fathers had the Tabernacle of [b]witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto (A)Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
45 (B)Which tabernacle also our fathers [c]received, and brought in with Jesus into the [d]possession of the Gentiles, which God drove out [e]before our fathers, unto the days of David:
46 (C)Who found favor before God, and desired that he might find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 (D)[f]But Solomon built him an house.
48 Howbeit the most High (E)dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the Prophet,
49 (F)Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
50 Hath not mine hand made all these things?
51 (G)[g]Ye stiff-necked and of [h]uncircumcised hearts and ears, ye have always resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
52 Which of the Prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them, which showed before of the coming of that Just, of whom ye are now the betrayers and murderers,
53 (H)Which have received the law by the [i]ordinance of Angels, and have not kept it.
54 [j]But when they heard these things, their hearts brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
55 [k]But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus [l]standing at the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens open, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
57 [m]Then they gave a shout with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and [n]ran upon him violently all at once,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the [o]witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, named Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, who called on God, and said, Lord Jesus receive my spirit.
60 [p]And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, [q]lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he [r]slept.
