Compare all
42 Then aGod turned and gave them up to worship bthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
c‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel? 
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And aI will carry you away beyond Babylon.’  

God’s True Tabernacle

44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses ato make it according to the pattern that he had seen,  
45 awhich our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, bwhom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the cdays of David,  
46 awho found favor before God and basked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob.  
47 aBut Solomon built Him a house.  
48 “However, athe Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: 
49 ‘Heavena is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest? 
50 Has My hand not amade all these things?’  

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

51 “You astiff-necked and buncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.  
52 aWhich of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of bthe Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,  
53 awho have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”  

Stephen the Martyr

54 aWhen they heard these things they were1 cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.  
55 But he, abeing full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the bglory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,  
56 and said, “Look! aI see the heavens opened and the bSon of Man standing at the right hand of God!”  
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord;
58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And athe witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.  
59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, areceive my spirit.”  
60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, a“Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
