Acts 7:30-53

30“After fortyG5065 yearsG2094 had passedG4137, 1an angelG32 appearedG3708 to him in the wildernessG2048 of MountG3735 SinaiG4614, in the flameG5395 of a burningG4442 thornG942 bushG942. 31When MosesG3475 sawG3708 it, he marveledG2296 at the sightG3705; and as he approachedG4334 to lookG2657 more closelyG2657, there cameG1096 the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962: 32‘2I am the GodG2316 of your fathersG3962, the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11 and IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384.’ MosesG3475 shookG1790 with fearG1790 and would not ventureG5111 to lookG2657. 333But the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, ‘4TakeG3089 offG3089 the sandalsG5266 from your feetG4228, for the placeG5117 on whichG3739 you are standingG2476 is holyG40 groundG1093. 345I have certainlyG3708 seenG3708 the oppressionG2561 of My peopleG2992 in EgyptG125 and have heardG191 their groansG4726, and I have comeG2597 downG2597 to rescueG1807 them; 67comeG1204 nowG3568, and I will sendG649 you to EgyptG125.’

35“ThisG3778 MosesG3475 whomG3739 they 8disownedG720, sayingG3004, ‘WhoG5101 madeG2525 you a rulerG758 and a judgeG1348?’ is the oneG3778 whomG3778 GodG2316 9sentG649 to be bothG2532 a rulerG758 and a delivererG3086 with the 10helpG5495 of the angelG32 who appearedG3708 to him in the thornG942 bushG942. 3611ThisG3778 manG3778 ledG1806 them out, performingG4160 12wondersG5059 and 13signsG4592 in the landG1093 of EgyptG125 and in the RedG2063 SeaG2281 and in the 14wildernessG2048 for fortyG5065 yearsG2094. 37ThisG3778 is the MosesG3475 who saidG3004 to the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2274, ‘15GodG2316 will raiseG450 up for you a prophetG4396 16likeG5613 me from your brethrenG80.’ 38ThisG3778 is the one who was in 17the 18congregationG1577 in the wildernessG2048 togetherG3326 with 19the angelG32 who was speakingG2980 to him on MountG3735 SinaiG4614, and who was with our fathersG3962; and he receivedG1209 20livingG2198 21oraclesG3051 to passG1325 on to you. 39Our fathersG3962 were unwillingG3756G2309 to be obedientG5255 to him, but 22repudiatedG683 him and in their heartsG2588 turnedG4762 backG4762 to EgyptG125, 4023sayingG3004 to AaronG2, ‘MakeG4160 for us godsG2316 whoG3739 will goG4313 beforeG4313 us; for thisG3778 MosesG3475 whoG3739 ledG1806 us out of the landG1093 of EgyptG125--we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 happenedG1096 to him.’ 4124At that timeG2250 25they madeG3447 a 26calfG3447 and broughtG321 a sacrificeG2378 to the idolG1497, and were rejoicingG2165 in 27the worksG2041 of their handsG5495. 42But GodG2316 28turnedG4762 awayG4762 and deliveredG3860 them up to 29serveG3000 the 30hostG4756 of heavenG3772; as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396, ‘31It was not to Me that you offeredG4374 victimsG4968 and sacrificesG2378 32fortyG5065 yearsG2094 in the wildernessG2048, was it, O houseG3624 of IsraelG2274? 4333You alsoG2532 tookG353 along the tabernacleG4633 of MolochG3434 and the starG798 of the godG2316 34RomphaG4501, the imagesG5179 whichG3739 you madeG4160 to worshipG4352. I alsoG2532 will removeG3351 you beyondG1900 BabylonG897.’

44“Our fathersG3962 hadG1510 35the tabernacleG4633 of testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, justG2531 as He who spokeG2980 to MosesG3475 directedG1299 him to makeG4160 it 36accordingG2596 to the patternG5179 whichG3739 he had seenG3708. 45And having receivedG1237 it in their turnG1237, our fathersG3962 37broughtG1521 it in with 38JoshuaG2424 upon dispossessingG2697 the 39nationsG1484 whomG3739 GodG2316 droveG1856 out beforeG575G4383 our fathersG3962, untilG2193 the timeG2250 of DavidG1160. 4640David foundG2147 favorG5485 in God’sG2316 sightG1799, and 41askedG154 that he might findG2147 a dwellingG4638 placeG4638 for the 42GodG2316 of JacobG2384. 47But it was 43SolomonG4672 who builtG3618 a houseG3624 for Him. 48HoweverG235, 44the MostG5310 HighG5310 does not dwellG2730 in houses madeG5499 by human handsG5499; as the prophetG4396 saysG3004:49‘45HeavenG3772 is My throneG2362, And earthG1093 is the footstoolG5286 of My feetG4228; WhatG4169 kindG4169 of houseG3624 will you buildG3618 for Me?’ saysG3004 the LordG2962, ‘OrG2228 whatG5101 placeG5117 is there for My reposeG2663?5046Was it not My handG5495 which madeG4160 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778?’

51“You men who are 47stiff-neckedG4644 and uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 and earsG3775 are alwaysG104 resistingG496 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; you are doing justG5613 as your fathersG3962 did. 5248WhichG5101 oneG5101 of the prophetsG4396 did your fathersG3962 not persecuteG1377? They killedG615 thoseG3588 who had previouslyG4293 announcedG4293 the comingG1660 of 49the RighteousG1342 OneG1342, whoseG3739 betrayersG4273 and murderersG5406 50you have nowG3568 becomeG1096; 53you whoG3748 receivedG2983 the lawG3551 as 51ordainedG1296 by angelsG32, and yet did not keepG5442 it.”
