Stephen’s Address: The Call of Abraham

1 Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”

2 And he said, ^a“Brethren and fathers, listen: The ^bGod of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in ^cHaran,

3 and said to him, ^a‘Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.’

4 Then ^ahe came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was ^bdead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.
