Acts 7:48-58

48 ¹Yet the Most High does not dwell ²in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

49 ³"'Heaven is my throne, ⁴and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest?

50 Did not my hand make all these things?'

51 ⁵"You stiff-necked people, ⁶uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. ⁷As your fathers did, so do you.

52 ⁸Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of ⁹the Righteous One, ¹⁰whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

53 you who received the law ¹¹as delivered by angels and ¹²did not keep it."

The Stoning of Stephen

54 Now when they heard these things ¹³they were enraged, and they ¹⁴ground their teeth at him.

55 But he, ¹⁵full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw ¹⁶the glory of God, and Jesus standing ¹⁷at the right hand of God.

56 And he said, "Behold, I see ¹⁸the heavens opened, and ¹⁹the Son of Man standing ²⁰at the right hand of God."

57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together^[a] at him.

58 Then ²¹they cast him out of the city and ²²stoned him. And ²³the witnesses laid down their garments ²⁴at the feet of a young man named Saul.
