Acts 7:8
Share
Overview - Acts 7 | |
1 | Stephen, permitted to answer to the accusation of blasphemy, |
2 | shows that Abraham worshipped God rightly, and how God chose the fathers, |
20 | before Moses was born, and before the tabernacle and temple were built; |
37 | that Moses himself witnessed of Christ; |
44 | and that all outward ceremonies were ordained, according to the heavenly pattern, to last but for a time; |
51 | reprehending their rebellion, and murdering of Christ, the Just One, whom the prophets foretold should come into the world. |
54 | Whereupon they stone him to death, who commends his soul to Jesus, and humbly prays for them. |
