Acts 7:44-54

44“Our fathers had 1the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it 2according to the pattern which he had seen. 45And having received it in their turn, our fathers 3brought it in with 4Joshua upon dispossessing the 5nations whom God drove out before our fathers, until the time of David. 466David found favor in God’s sight, and 7asked that he might find a dwelling place for the 8God of Jacob. 47But it was 9Solomon who built a house for Him. 48However, 10the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:49‘11Heaven is My throne, And earth is the footstool of My feet; What kind of house will you build for Me?’ says the Lord, ‘Or what place is there for My repose?5012Was it not My hand which made all these things?’

51“You men who are 13stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did. 5214Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of 15the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers 16you have now become; 53you who received the law as 17ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it.”

54Now when they heard this, they were 18cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.
