7:49 ‘Heaven is my throne,
and earth is the footstool for my feet.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is my resting place? 25
7:50 Did my hand 26 not make all these things?’ 27
7:51 “You stubborn 28 people, with uncircumcised 29 hearts and ears! 30 You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors 31 did! 7:52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors 32 not persecute? 33 They 34 killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, 35 whose betrayers and murderers you have now become! 36 7:53 You 37 received the law by decrees given by angels, 38 but you did not obey 39 it.” 40
7:54 When they heard these things, they became furious 41 and ground their teeth 42 at him. 7:55 But Stephen, 43 full 44 of the Holy Spirit, looked intently 45 toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing 46 at the right hand of God. 7:56 “Look!” he said. 47 “I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” 7:57 But they covered their ears, 48 shouting out with a loud voice, and rushed at him with one intent. 7:58 When 49 they had driven him out of the city, they began to stone him, 50 and the witnesses laid their cloaks 51 at the feet of a young man named Saul. 7:59 They 52 continued to stone Stephen while he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 7:60 Then he fell 53 to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” 54 When 55 he had said this, he died. 56
