Acts 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

And [fn]Stephen said ^G5346, “Listen ^G191 to me, [fn]brothers ^G435 G80 and fathers ^G3962! The God ^G2316 of glory ^G1391 appeared ^G3708 to our father ^G3962 Abraham ^G11 when he was in Mesopotamia ^G3318, before ^G4250 he lived ^G2730 in [fn]Haran ^G5488,

“The patriarchs ^G3966 became ^G2206 jealous ^G2206 of Joseph ^G2501 and sold ^G591 him into Egypt ^G125. Yet God ^G2316 was with him,

“Now ^G1161 a famine ^G3042 came ^G2064 over ^G1909 all ^G3650 Egypt ^G125 and Canaan ^G5477, and great ^G3173 affliction ^G2347 with it, and our fathers ^G3962 [fn]could find ^G2147 no ^G3756 food ^G5527.

“But as the time ^G5550 of the promise ^G1860 which ^G3739 God ^G2316 had assured ^G3670 to Abraham ^G11 was approaching ^G1448, the people ^G2992 increased ^G837 and multiplied ^G4129 in Egypt ^G125,

“After forty ^G5062 years ^G2094 had passed ^G4137, an angel ^G32 appeared ^G3708 to him in the wilderness ^G2048 of Mount ^G3735 Sinai ^G4614, in the flame ^G5395 of a burning ^G4442 thorn ^G942 bush ^G942.

“This ^G3778 Moses ^G3475 whom ^G3739 they disowned ^G720, saying ^G3004, ‘WHO ^G5101 MADE ^G2525 YOU A RULER ^G758 AND A JUDGE ^G1348?’ is the one ^G3778 whom ^G3778 God ^G2316 [fn]sent ^G649 to be both ^G2532 a ruler ^G758 and a deliverer ^G3086 with the [fn]help ^G5495 of the angel ^G32 who appeared ^G3708 to him in the thorn ^G942 bush ^G942.

“Our fathers ^G3962 had ^G1510 the tabernacle ^G4633 of testimony ^G3142 in the wilderness ^G2048, just ^G2531 as ^G2531 He who spoke ^G2980 to Moses ^G3475 directed ^G1299 him to make ^G4160 it according ^G2596 to the pattern ^G5179 which ^G3739 he had seen ^G3708.

‘HEAVEN ^G3772 IS MY THRONE ^G2362,

AND THE EARTH ^G1093 IS THE FOOTSTOOL ^G5286 OF MY FEET ^G4228;

WHAT ^G4169 KIND ^G4169 OF HOUSE ^G3624 WILL YOU BUILD ^G3618 FOR ME?’ says ^G3004 the Lord ^G2962,

‘OR ^G2228 WHAT ^G5101 PLACE ^G5117 IS THERE FOR MY REST ^G2663?

‘WAS IT NOT MY HAND ^G5495 THAT MADE ^G4160 ALL ^G3956 THESE ^G3778 THINGS ^G3778?’

“You men who are stiff-necked ^G4644 and uncircumcised ^G564 in heart ^G2588 and ears ^G3775 are always ^G104 resisting ^G496 the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151; you are doing just ^G5613 as ^G5613 your fathers ^G3962 did.

Now ^G1161 when they heard ^G191 this ^G3778, they were infuriated ^G1282 G2588, and they began gnashing ^G1031 their teeth ^G3599 at him.
