Acts 7:44-54

44OurG1473 fathersG3962 had theG3588 tabernacleG4633 of theG3588 TestimonyG3142 withG3588 them inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048. It was constructedG4160G846 exactly asG2531 God had directedG1299 MosesG3475, according toG2596 theG3588 patternG5179 he had seenG3708. 45AndG2532 ourG1473 fathersG3962 whoG3739 received itG1237 broughtG1521 it in withG3326 JoshuaG2424 when they dispossessedG2697 theG3588 nationsG1484 GodG2316 drove outG1856 beforeG575G4383G3588 them. It remained untilG2193 theG3588 timeG2250 of DavidG1138, 46whoG3739 foundG2147 favorG5485 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 andG2532 askedG154 to provideG2147 a dwelling placeG4638 for theG3588 GodG2316 of JacobG2384.1 47ButG1161 it was SolomonG4672 who builtG3618 the houseG3624 for HimG846.

48HoweverG235, theG3588 Most HighG5310 does notG3756 dwellG2730 inG1722 houses made by human handsG5499. AsG2531 theG3588 prophetG4396 saysG3004:

51You stiff-neckedG4644 people with uncircumcisedG564 heartsG2588 andG2532 earsG3775! YouG4771 alwaysG104 resistG496 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151, justG2532 asG5613 yourG4771 fathersG3962 did. 52WhichG5101 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 did yourG4771 fathersG3962 failG3756 to persecuteG1377? They even killedG2532G615 those whoG3588 foretoldG4293G4012 theG3588 comingG1660 of theG3588 Righteous OneG1342. And nowG3568 youG4771 areG1096 His betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406— 53you whoG3748 receivedG2983 theG3588 lawG3551 ordainedG1296 byG1519 angelsG32, yetG2532 have not keptG3756G5442 it.”

On hearingG191 thisG3778, the members of the Sanhedrin were enragedG1282G3588G846G2588,3 andG2532 they gnashedG1031 their teethG3599 atG1909 himG846.
