Acts 7:48-60 ▼

48 Howebeit, he that is hyest of al, dwelleth not in teples made with handes, as sayth the prophete:

49 Heauen is my seate, and earth is my footstoole. What house wyll ye buylde for me, saith the Lord? Or which is the place of my rest?

50 Hath not my hande made all these thynges?

51 Ye styfnecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy ghost: as your fathers dyd, so do ye.

52 Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slayne them which shewed before of the commyng of that iuste, of whom ye are nowe the betrayers and murtherers:

53 Whiche also haue receaued the lawe, by the disposition of angels, and haue not kept it.

54 When they hearde these thynges, their heartes claue a sunder, and they gnasshed on hym with their teeth.

55 But he being full of the holy ghost, loked vp stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standyng on the ryght hande of God,

56 And sayde: Beholde, I see the heauens open, & the sonne of man standyng on the ryght hande of God.

57 Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ran vpon hym all at once,

58 And cast hym out of the citie, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layde downe their clothes at a young mans feete, whose name was Saul.

59 And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite.

60 And he kneeled downe, and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde lay not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a sleepe.
