Nlt Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Acts 7 5

1 Then the high priest asked Stephen, "Are these accusations true?"

2 This was Stephen's reply: "Brothers and fathers, listen to me. Our glorious God appeared to our ancestor Abraham in Mesopotamia before he settled in Haran.

3 God told him, 'Leave your native land and your relatives, and come into the land that I will show you.'

4 So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran until his father died. Then God brought him here to the land where you now live.

5 "But God gave him no inheritance here, not even one square foot of land. God did promise, however, that eventually the whole land would belong to Abraham and his descendants-- even though he had no children yet.

6 God also told him that his descendants would live in a foreign land, where they would be oppressed as slaves for 400 years.

7 'But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,' God said, 'and in the end they will come out and worship me here in this place.'

8 "God also gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision at that time. So when Abraham became the father of Isaac, he circumcised him on the eighth day. And the practice was continued when Isaac became the father of Jacob, and when Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs of the Israelite nation.

9 "These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him

10 and rescued him from all his troubles. And God gave him favor before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. God also gave Joseph unusual wisdom, so that Pharaoh appointed him governor over all of Egypt and put him in charge of the palace.

11 "But a famine came upon Egypt and Canaan. There was great misery, and our ancestors ran out of food.

12 Jacob heard that there was still grain in Egypt, so he sent his sons-- our ancestors-- to buy some.

13 The second time they went, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and they were introduced to Pharaoh.

14 Then Joseph sent for his father, Jacob, and all his relatives to come to Egypt, seventy-five persons in all.

15 So Jacob went to Egypt. He died there, as did our ancestors.

16 Their bodies were taken to Shechem and buried in the tomb Abraham had bought for a certain price from Hamor's sons in Shechem.

17 "As the time drew near when God would fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt greatly increased.

18 But then a new king came to the throne of Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph.

19 This king exploited our people and oppressed them, forcing parents to abandon their newborn babies so they would die.

20 "At that time Moses was born-- a beautiful child in God's eyes. His parents cared for him at home for three months.

21 When they had to abandon him, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and raised him as her own son.

22 Moses was taught all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in both speech and action.

23 "One day when Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his relatives, the people of Israel.

24 He saw an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite. So Moses came to the man's defense and avenged him, killing the Egyptian.

25 Moses assumed his fellow Israelites would realize that God had sent him to rescue them, but they didn't.

26 "The next day he visited them again and saw two men of Israel fighting. He tried to be a peacemaker. 'Men,' he said, 'you are brothers. Why are you fighting each other?'

27 "But the man in the wrong pushed Moses aside. 'Who made you a ruler and judge over us?' he asked.

28 'Are you going to kill me as you killed that Egyptian yesterday?'

29 When Moses heard that, he fled the country and lived as a foreigner in the land of Midian. There his two sons were born.

30 "Forty years later, in the desert near Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to Moses in the flame of a burning bush.

31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight. As he went to take a closer look, the voice of the LORD called out to him,

32 'I am the God of your ancestors-- the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses shook with terror and did not dare to look.

33 "Then the LORD said to him, 'Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.

34 I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groans and have come down to rescue them. Now go, for I am sending you back to Egypt.'

35 "So God sent back the same man his people had previously rejected when they demanded, 'Who made you a ruler and judge over us?' Through the angel who appeared to him in the burning bush, God sent Moses to be their ruler and savior.

36 And by means of many wonders and miraculous signs, he led them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and through the wilderness for forty years.

37 "Moses himself told the people of Israel, 'God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people.'

38 Moses was with our ancestors, the assembly of God's people in the wilderness, when the angel spoke to him at Mount Sinai. And there Moses received life-giving words to pass on to us.

39 "But our ancestors refused to listen to Moses. They rejected him and wanted to return to Egypt.

40 They told Aaron, 'Make us some gods who can lead us, for we don't know what has become of this Moses, who brought us out of Egypt.'

41 So they made an idol shaped like a calf, and they sacrificed to it and celebrated over this thing they had made.

42 Then God turned away from them and abandoned them to serve the stars of heaven as their gods! In the book of the prophets it is written, 'Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings during those forty years in the wilderness, Israel?

43 No, you carried your pagan gods-- the shrine of Molech, the star of your god Rephan, and the images you made to worship them. So I will send you into exile as far away as Babylon.'

44 "Our ancestors carried the Tabernacle with them through the wilderness. It was constructed according to the plan God had shown to Moses.

45 Years later, when Joshua led our ancestors in battle against the nations that God drove out of this land, the Tabernacle was taken with them into their new territory. And it stayed there until the time of King David.

46 "David found favor with God and asked for the privilege of building a permanent Temple for the God of Jacob.

47 But it was Solomon who actually built it.

48 However, the Most High doesn't live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says,

49 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?' asks the LORD. 'Could you build me such a resting place?

50 Didn't my hands make both heaven and earth?'

51 "You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That's what your ancestors did, and so do you!

52 Name one prophet your ancestors didn't persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous One-- the Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered.

53 You deliberately disobeyed God's law, even though you received it from the hands of angels."

54 The Jewish leaders were infuriated by Stephen's accusation, and they shook their fists at him in rage.

55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God, and he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God's right hand.

56 And he told them, "Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing in the place of honor at God's right hand!"

57 Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him

58 and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

60 He fell to his knees, shouting, "Lord, don't charge them with this sin!" And with that, he died.

1 Then ^G1161 said ^G2036 the ^G3588 high priest ^G749 ^G1487 ^G686 , Are ^G2192 these ^G5023 things so ^G3779 ?

2 And ^G1161 he ^G3588 said, ^G5346 Men, ^G435 brethren, ^G80 and ^G2532 fathers, ^G3962 hearken; ^G191 The ^G3588 God ^G2316 of glory ^G1391 appeared ^G3700 unto our ^G2257 father ^G3962 Abraham, ^G11 when he was ^G5607 in ^G1722 Mesopotamia, ^G3318 before ^G4250 ^G2228 he ^G846 dwelt ^G2730 in ^G1722 Haran, ^G5488

3 And ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Get ^G1831 thee out of ^G1537 thy ^G4675 country, ^G1093 and ^G2532 from ^G1537 thy ^G4675 kindred, ^G4772 and ^G2532 come ^G1204 into ^G1519 the land ^G1093 which ^G3739 ^G302 I shall show ^G1166 thee. ^G4671

4 Then ^G5119 came ^G1831 he out of ^G1537 the land ^G1093 of the Chaldeans, ^G5466 and dwelt ^G2730 in ^G1722 Haran: ^G5488 and from thence, ^G2547 when his ^G846 father ^G3962 was dead, ^G599 he removed ^G3351 him ^G846 into ^G1519 this ^G5026 land, ^G1093 wherein ^G1519 ^G3739 ye ^G5210 now ^G3568 dwell. ^G2730

5 And ^G2532 he gave ^G1325 him ^G846 none ^G3756 inheritance ^G2817 in ^G1722 it, no, ^G846 not ^G3761 so much as to set his foot on ^G968 ^G4228 : yet ^G2532 he promised ^G1861 that he would give ^G1325 it ^G846 to him ^G846 for ^G1519 a possession, ^G2697 and ^G2532 to his ^G846 seed ^G4690 after ^G3326 him, ^G846 when as yet he ^G846 had ^G5607 no ^G3756 child. ^G5043

6 And ^G1161 God ^G2316 spake ^G2980 on this wise, ^G3779 That ^G3754 his ^G846 seed ^G4690 should ^G2071 sojourn ^G3941 in ^G1722 a strange ^G245 land; ^G1093 and ^G2532 that they should bring them into bondage ^G1402 ^G846 , and ^G2532 entreat them evil ^G2559 four hundred ^G5071 years. ^G2094

7 And ^G2532 the ^G3588 nation ^G1484 to whom ^G3739 they shall ^G1437 be in bondage ^G1398 will I ^G1473 judge, ^G2919 said ^G2036 God: ^G2316 and ^G2532 after ^G3326 that ^G5023 shall they come forth, ^G1831 and ^G2532 serve ^G3000 me ^G3427 in ^G1722 this ^G5129 place. ^G5117

8 And ^G2532 he gave ^G1325 him ^G846 the covenant ^G1242 of circumcision: ^G4061 and ^G2532 so ^G3779 Abraham begat ^G1080 Isaac, ^G2464 and ^G2532 circumcised ^G4059 him ^G846 the ^G3588 eighth ^G3590 day; ^G2250 and ^G2532 Isaac ^G2464 begat Jacob; ^G2384 and ^G2532 Jacob ^G2384 begat the ^G3588 twelve ^G1427 patriarchs. ^G3966

9 And ^G2532 the ^G3588 patriarchs, ^G3966 moved with envy, ^G2206 sold ^G591 Joseph ^G2501 into ^G1519 Egypt: ^G125 but ^G2532 God ^G2316 was ^G2258 with ^G3326 him, ^G846

10 And ^G2532 delivered ^G1807 him ^G846 out of ^G1537 all ^G3956 his ^G846 afflictions, ^G2347 and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 him ^G846 favor ^G5485 and ^G2532 wisdom ^G4678 in the sight ^G1726 of Pharaoh ^G5328 king ^G935 of Egypt; ^G125 and ^G2532 he made ^G2525 him ^G846 governor ^G2233 over ^G1909 Egypt ^G125 and ^G2532 all ^G3650 his ^G848 house. ^G3624

11 Now ^G1161 there came ^G2064 a dearth ^G3042 over ^G1909 all ^G3650 the ^G3588 land ^G1093 of Egypt ^G125 and ^G2532 Canaan, ^G5477 and ^G2532 great ^G3173 affliction: ^G2347 and ^G2532 our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 found ^G2147 no ^G3756 sustenance. ^G5527

12 But ^G1161 when Jacob ^G2384 heard ^G191 that there was ^G5607 corn ^G4621 in ^G1722 Egypt, ^G125 he sent out ^G1821 our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 first. ^G4412

13 And ^G2532 at ^G1722 the ^G3588 second ^G1208 time Joseph ^G2501 was made known ^G319 to his ^G848 brethren; ^G80 and ^G2532 Joseph's ^G2501 kindred ^G1085 was made ^G1096 known ^G5318 unto Pharaoh. ^G5328

14 Then ^G1161 sent ^G649 Joseph, ^G2501 and called ^G3333 his ^G848 father ^G3962 Jacob ^G2384 to him, and ^G2532 all ^G3956 his ^G848 kindred, ^G4772 threescore and fifteen ^G1440 ^G4002 souls. ^G5590

15 So ^G1161 Jacob ^G2384 went down ^G2597 into ^G1519 Egypt, ^G125 and ^G2532 died, ^G5053 he, ^G846 and ^G2532 our ^G2257 fathers, ^G3962

16 And ^G2532 were carried over ^G3346 into ^G1519 Shechem, ^G4966 and ^G2532 laid ^G5087 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 sepulcher ^G3418 that ^G3739 Abraham ^G11 bought ^G5608 for a sum ^G5092 of money ^G694 of ^G3844 the ^G3588 sons ^G5207 of Hamor ^G1697 the father of Shechem. ^G4966

17 But ^G1161 when ^G2531 the ^G3588 time ^G5550 of the ^G3588 promise ^G1860 drew nigh, ^G1448 which ^G3739 God ^G2316 had sworn ^G3660 to Abraham, ^G11 the ^G3588 people ^G2992 grew ^G837 and ^G2532 multiplied ^G4129 in ^G1722 Egypt, ^G125

18 Till ^G891 ^G3757 another ^G2087 king ^G935 arose, ^G450 which ^G3739 knew ^G1492 not ^G3756 Joseph. ^G2501

19 The same ^G3778 dealt subtlely with ^G2686 our ^G2257 kindred, ^G1085 and evil entreated ^G2559 our ^G2257 fathers, ^G3962 so that they cast out ^G4160 ^G1570 their ^G846 young children, ^G1025 to the end they might not ^G3361 live. ^G2225

20 In ^G1722 which ^G3739 time ^G2540 Moses ^G3475 was born, ^G1080 and ^G2532 was ^G2258 exceeding fair, ^G791 and ^G2532 nourished up ^G397 in ^G1722 his ^G848 father's ^G3962 house ^G3624 three ^G5140 months: ^G3376

21 And ^G1161 when he ^G846 was cast out, ^G1620 Pharaoh's ^G5328 daughter ^G2364 took him up ^G337 ^G846 , and ^G2532 nourished ^G397 him ^G846 for ^G1519 her own ^G1438 son. ^G5207

22 And ^G2532 Moses ^G3475 was learned ^G3811 in all ^G3956 the wisdom ^G4678 of the Egyptians, ^G124 and ^G1161 was ^G2258 mighty ^G1415 in ^G1722 words ^G3056 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 deeds. ^G2041

23 And ^G1161 when ^G5613 he ^G846 was full ^G4137 forty ^G5063 years old, ^G5550 it came ^G305 into ^G1909 his ^G846 heart ^G2588 to visit ^G1980 his ^G848 brethren ^G80 the ^G3588 children ^G5207 of Israel. ^G2474

24 And ^G2532 seeing ^G1492 one ^G5100 of them suffer wrong, ^G91 he defended ^G292 him, and ^G2532 avenged ^G4160 ^G1557 him that was oppressed, ^G2669 and smote ^G3960 the ^G3588 Egyptian: ^G124

25 For ^G1161 he supposed ^G3543 his ^G848 brethren ^G80 would have understood ^G4920 how that ^G3754 God ^G2316 by ^G1223 his ^G846 hand ^G5495 would deliver ^G1325 ^G4991 them: ^G846 but ^G1161 they ^G3588 understood ^G4920 not. ^G3756

26 And ^G5037 the ^G3588 next ^G1966 day ^G2250 he showed himself ^G3700 unto them ^G846 as they strove, ^G3164 and ^G2532 would have set them at one again ^G4900 ^G846 G1519, ^G1515 saying, ^G2036 Sirs, ^G435 ye ^G5210 are ^G2075 brethren; ^G80 why ^G2444 do ye wrong ^G91 one to another ^G240 ?

27 But ^G1161 he that did his neighbor wrong ^G91 ^G4139 thrust him away ^G683 ^G846 , saying, ^G2036 Who ^G5101 made ^G2525 thee ^G4571 a ruler ^G758 and ^G2532 a judge ^G1348 over ^G1909 us ^G2248 ?

28 Wilt ^G2309 ^G3361 thou ^G4771 kill ^G337 me, ^G3165 as thou didst ^G3739 ^G5158 ^G337 the ^G3588 Egyptian ^G124 yesterday ^G5504 ?

29 Then ^G1161 fled ^G5343 Moses ^G3475 at ^G1722 this ^G5129 saying, ^G3056 and ^G2532 was ^G1096 a stranger ^G3941 in ^G1722 the land ^G1093 of Midian, ^G3099 where ^G3757 he begat ^G1080 two ^G1417 sons. ^G5207

30 And ^G2532 when forty ^G5062 years ^G2094 were expired, ^G4137 there appeared ^G3700 to him ^G846 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 wilderness ^G2048 of mount ^G3735 Sinai ^G4614 an angel ^G32 of the Lord ^G2962 in ^G1722 a flame ^G5395 of fire ^G4442 in a bush. ^G942

31 When ^G1161 Moses ^G3475 saw ^G1492 it, he wondered ^G2296 at the ^G3588 sight: ^G3705 and ^G1161 as he ^G846 drew near ^G4334 to behold ^G2657 it, the voice ^G5456 of the Lord ^G2962 came ^G1096 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846

32 Saying, I ^G1473 am the ^G3588 God ^G2316 of thy ^G4675 fathers, ^G3962 the ^G3588 God ^G2316 of Abraham, ^G11 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 God ^G2316 of Isaac, ^G2464 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 God ^G2316 of Jacob. ^G2384 Then ^G1161 Moses ^G3475 trembled ^G1096 ^G1790 , and durst ^G5111 not ^G3756 behold. ^G2657

33 Then ^G1161 said ^G2036 the ^G3588 Lord ^G2962 to him, ^G846 Put off ^G3089 thy shoes ^G5266 from thy ^G4675 feet: ^G4228 for ^G1063 the ^G3588 place ^G5117 where ^G1722 ^G3739 thou standest ^G2476 is ^G2076 holy ^G40 ground. ^G1093

34 I have seen, ^G1492 I have seen ^G1492 the ^G3588 affliction ^G2561 of my ^G3450 people ^G2992 which ^G3588 is in ^G1722 Egypt, ^G125 and ^G2532 I have heard ^G191 their ^G846 groaning, ^G4726 and ^G2532 am come down ^G2597 to deliver ^G1807 them. ^G846 And ^G2532 now ^G3568 come, ^G1204 I will send ^G649 thee ^G4571 into ^G1519 Egypt. ^G125

35 This ^G5126 Moses ^G3475 whom ^G3739 they refused, ^G720 saying, ^G2036 Who ^G5101 made ^G2525 thee ^G4571 a ruler ^G758 and ^G2532 a judge ^G1348 ? the same ^G5126 did God ^G2316 send ^G649 to be a ruler ^G758 and ^G2532 a deliverer ^G3086 by ^G1722 the hand ^G5495 of the angel ^G32 which appeared ^G3700 to him ^G846 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 bush. ^G942

36 He ^G3778 brought them out ^G1806 ^G846 , after that he had showed ^G4160 wonders ^G5059 and ^G2532 signs ^G4592 in ^G1722 the land ^G1093 of Egypt, ^G125 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 the Red ^G2063 sea, ^G2281 and ^G2532 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 wilderness ^G2048 forty ^G5062 years. ^G2094

37 This ^G3778 is ^G2076 that Moses, ^G3475 which said ^G2036 unto the ^G3588 children ^G5207 of Israel, ^G2474 A prophet ^G4396 shall the Lord ^G2962 your ^G5216 God ^G2316 raise up ^G450 unto you ^G5213 of ^G1537 your ^G5216 brethren, ^G80 like unto ^G5613 me; ^G1691 him ^G846 shall ye hear. ^G191

38 This ^G3778 is ^G2076 he , that was ^G1096 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 church ^G1577 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 wilderness ^G2048 with ^G3326 the ^G3588 angel ^G32 which spake ^G2980 to him ^G846 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 mount ^G3735 Sinai, ^G4614 and ^G2532 with our ^G2257 fathers: ^G3962 who ^G3739 received ^G1209 the lively ^G2198 oracles ^G3051 to give ^G1325 unto us: ^G2254

39 To whom ^G3739 our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 would ^G2309 not ^G3756 obey ^G1096 ^G5255 , but ^G235 thrust him from ^G683 them, and ^G2532 in their ^G848 hearts ^G2588 turned back again ^G4762 into ^G1519 Egypt, ^G125

40 Saying ^G2036 unto Aaron, ^G2 Make ^G4160 us ^G2254 gods ^G2316 to ^G3739 go before ^G4313 us: ^G2257 for ^G1063 as for this ^G3778 Moses, ^G3475 which ^G3739 brought ^G1806 us ^G2248 out of ^G1537 the land ^G1093 of Egypt, ^G125 we wot ^G1492 not ^G3756 what ^G5101 is become ^G1096 of him. ^G846

41 And ^G2532 they made a calf ^G3447 in ^G1722 those ^G1565 days, ^G2250 and ^G2532 offered ^G321 sacrifice ^G2378 unto the ^G3588 idol, ^G1497 and ^G2532 rejoiced ^G2165 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 works ^G2041 of their own ^G848 hands. ^G5495

42 Then ^G1161 God ^G2316 turned, ^G4762 and ^G2532 gave them up ^G3860 ^G846 to worship ^G3000 the ^G3588 host ^G4756 of heaven; ^G3772 as ^G2531 it is written ^G1125 in ^G1722 the book ^G976 of the ^G3588 prophets, ^G4396 O ye house ^G3624 of Israel, ^G2474 have ye ^G3361 offered ^G4374 to me ^G3427 slain beasts ^G4968 and ^G2532 sacrifices ^G2378 by the space of forty ^G5062 years ^G2094 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 wilderness ^G2048 ?

43 Yea ^G2532 , ye took up ^G353 the ^G3588 tabernacle ^G4633 of Moloch, ^G3434 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 star ^G798 of your ^G5216 god ^G2316 Remphan, ^G4481 figures ^G5179 which ^G3739 ye made ^G4160 to worship ^G4352 them: ^G846 and ^G2532 I will carry you away ^G3351 ^G5209 beyond ^G1900 Babylon. ^G897

44 Our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 had ^G2258 the ^G3588 tabernacle ^G4633 of witness ^G3142 in ^G1722 the ^G3588 wilderness, ^G2048 as he had appointed, ^G1299 speaking ^G2980 unto Moses, ^G3475 that he should make ^G4160 it ^G846 according ^G2596 to the ^G3588 fashion ^G5179 that ^G3739 he had seen. ^G3708

45 Which ^G3739 also ^G2532 our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 that came after ^G1237 brought in ^G1521 with ^G3326 Joshua ^G2424 into ^G1722 the ^G3588 possession ^G2697 of the ^G3588 Gentiles, ^G1484 whom ^G3739 God ^G2316 drove out ^G1856 before ^G575 the face ^G4383 of our ^G2257 fathers, ^G3962 unto ^G2193 the ^G3588 days ^G2250 of David; ^G1138

46 Who ^G3739 found ^G2147 favor ^G5485 before ^G1799 God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 desired ^G154 to find ^G2147 a tabernacle ^G4638 for the ^G3588 God ^G2316 of Jacob. ^G2384

47 But ^G1161 Solomon ^G4672 built ^G3618 him ^G846 a house. ^G3624

48 Howbeit ^G235 the ^G3588 most High ^G5310 dwelleth ^G2730 not ^G3756 in ^G1722 temples ^G3485 made with hands; ^G5499 as ^G2531 saith ^G3004 the ^G3588 prophet, ^G4396

49 Heaven ^G3772 is my ^G3427 throne, ^G2362 and ^G1161 earth ^G1093 is my ^G3450 footstool ^G5286 ^G4228 : what ^G4169 house ^G3624 will ye build ^G3618 me ^G3427 ? saith ^G3004 the Lord: ^G2962 or ^G2228 what ^G5101 is the place ^G5117 of my ^G3450 rest ^G2663 ?

50 Hath not ^G3780 my ^G3450 hand ^G5495 made ^G4160 all ^G3956 these things ^G5023 ?

51 Ye stiffnecked ^G4644 and ^G2532 uncircumcised ^G564 in heart ^G2588 and ^G2532 ears, ^G3775 ye ^G5210 do always ^G104 resist ^G496 the ^G3588 Holy ^G40 Ghost: ^G4151 as ^G5613 your ^G5216 fathers ^G3962 did, so ^G2532 do ye. ^G5210

52 Which ^G5101 of the ^G3588 prophets ^G4396 have not ^G3756 your ^G5216 fathers ^G3962 persecuted ^G1377 ? and ^G2532 they have slain ^G615 them which showed before ^G4293 of ^G4012 the ^G3588 coming ^G1660 of the ^G3588 Just One; ^G1342 of whom ^G3739 ye ^G5210 have been ^G1096 now ^G3568 the betrayers ^G4273 and ^G2532 murderers: ^G5406

53 Who ^G3748 have received ^G2983 the ^G3588 law ^G3551 by ^G1519 the disposition ^G1296 of angels, ^G32 and ^G2532 have not ^G3756 kept ^G5442 it.

54 When ^G1161 they heard ^G191 these things, ^G5023 they were cut ^G1282 to ^G848 the ^G3588 heart, ^G2588 and ^G2532 they gnashed ^G1031 on ^G1909 him ^G846 with their teeth. ^G3598

55 But ^G1161 he, being ^G5225 full ^G4134 of the Holy ^G40 Ghost, ^G4151 looked up steadfastly ^G816 into ^G1519 heaven, ^G3772 and saw ^G1492 the glory ^G1391 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 standing ^G2476 on ^G1537 the right hand ^G1188 of God, ^G2316

56 And ^G2532 said, ^G2036 Behold, ^G2400 I see ^G2334 the ^G3588 heavens ^G3772 opened, ^G455 and ^G2532 the ^G3588 Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 standing ^G2476 on ^G1537 the right hand ^G1188 of God. ^G2316

57 Then ^G1161 they cried out ^G2896 with a loud ^G3173 voice, ^G5456 and stopped ^G4912 their ^G848 ears, ^G3775 and ^G2532 ran ^G3729 upon ^G1909 him ^G846 with one accord, ^G3661

58 And ^G2532 cast ^G1544 him out ^G1854 of the ^G3588 city, ^G4172 and stoned ^G3036 him : and ^G2532 the ^G3588 witnesses ^G3144 laid down ^G659 their ^G848 clothes ^G2440 at ^G3844 a young man's ^G3494 feet, ^G4228 whose name ^G2564 was Saul. ^G4569

59 And ^G2532 they stoned ^G3036 Stephen, ^G4736 calling upon ^G1941 God, and ^G2532 saying, ^G3004 Lord ^G2962 Jesus, ^G2424 receive ^G1209 my ^G3450 spirit. ^G4151

60 And ^G1161 he kneeled down ^G5087 ^G1119 , and cried ^G2896 with a loud ^G3173 voice, ^G5456 Lord, ^G2962 lay ^G2476 not ^G3361 this ^G5026 sin ^G266 to their charge. ^G846 And ^G2532 when he had said ^G2036 this, ^G5124 he fell asleep. ^G2837
