Acts 7:49

Acts 7:49

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 ‘Heaven^a 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,
