Acts 7:44-54

44Our fathersG3962 had the tabernacleG4633 of the testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, even as he appointed who spake unto MosesG3475, that he should makeG4160 it accordingG2596 to the figure that he had seenG3708. 45Which alsoG2532 our fathersG3962, in their turn, broughtG1521 in with Joshua when they entered on the possessionG2697 of the nationsG1484, that GodG2316 thrust out before the faceG4383 of our fathersG3962, unto the daysG2250 of DavidG1138; 46who foundG2147 favorG5485 in the sight of GodG2316, and askedG154 to findG2147 a habitation for the GodG2316 of JacobG2384. 47But SolomonG4672 builtG3618 him a houseG3624. 48Howbeit the MostG5310 HighG5310 dwelleth not in houses made with handsG5499; as saith the prophetG4396,

49The heavenG3772 is my throneG2362,And the earthG1093 the footstoolG5286 of my feetG4228:What manner of houseG3624 will ye buildG3618 me? saith the LordG2962:Or what is the placeG5117 of my restG2663?50Did not my handG5495 makeG4160 all these thingsG3778?

51Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heartG2588 and earsG3775, ye do alwaysG104 resist the HolyG40 SpiritG4151: as your fathersG3962 did, so do ye. 52Which of the prophetsG4396 did not your fathersG3962 persecuteG1377? and they killedG615 them that showed before of the coming of the RighteousG1342 OneG3739; of whom ye have nowG3568 becomeG1096 betrayers and murderersG5406; 53ye who receivedG2983 the lawG3551 as it was ordained by angelsG32, and keptG5442 it not.

54NowG1161 when they heardG191 these thingsG3778, they were cutG1282 to the heartG2588, and they gnashed on him with their teethG3599.
