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 wasG2296 astonishedG2296 at the sightG3705; and as he approachedG4334 to lookG2657 more closelyG2657, the voiceG5456 of the LordG2962 cameG1096: 32‘2I am the GodG2316 of your fathersG3962, the GodG2316 of AbrahamG11, and IsaacG2464, and JacobG2384.’ MosesG3475 shookG1790 withG1790 fearG1790 and did not dareG5111 to lookG2657 closelyG2657. 333But the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, ‘45RemoveG3089 your sandalsG5266 from your feetG4228, for the placeG5117 on whichG3739 you are standingG2476 is holyG40 groundG1093. 346I have certainlyG3708 seenG3708 the oppressionG2561 of My peopleG2992 who are in EgyptG125, and have heardG191 their groaningG4726, and I have comeG2597 downG2597 to rescueG1807 them; and 7nowG3568 comeG1204, 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 outG1806, 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 IsraelG2474, ‘15GodG2316 will raiseG450 up for you a prophetG4396 16likeG5613 me from your countrymenG80.’ 38ThisG3778 is the one who was in 17the 18assemblyG1577 in the wildernessG2048 togetherG3326 with 19the angelG32 who spokeG2980 to him at length on MountG3735 SinaiG4614, and who was with our fathersG3962; and he receivedG1209 20livingG2198 21wordsG3051 to passG1325 on to you. 39Our fathersG3962 were unwillingG3756G2309 to be obedientG5255 to him; onG235 theG235 contraryG235 they 22rejectedG683 him and turnedG4762 backG4762 to EgyptG125 in their heartsG2588, 4023sayingG3004 to AaronG2, ‘MakeG4160 us 24a godG2316 whoG3739 will goG4313 beforeG4313 us; for thisG3778 MosesG3475 whoG3739 ledG1806 us outG1806 of the landG1093 of EgyptG125--we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 happenedG1096 to him.’ 4125At that timeG2250 26they madeG3447 aG3447 27calfG3447 and broughtG321 a sacrificeG2378 to the idolG1497, and were rejoicingG2165 in 28the worksG2041 of their handsG5495. 42But GodG2316 29turnedG4762 awayG4762 and gaveG3860 them overG3860 to 30serveG3000 the heavenlyG3772 31lightsG4756; as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the prophetsG4396: ‘32You did not offerG4374 Me victimsG4968 and sacrificesG2378 33for fortyG5065 yearsG2094 in the wildernessG2048, did you, houseG3624 of IsraelG2474? 4334You alsoG2532 tookG353 alongG353 the tabernacleG4633 of MolochG3434 and the starG798 of your godG2316 35RomphaG4501, the imagesG5179 whichG3739 you madeG4160 to worshipG4352. I alsoG2532 will deportG3351 you beyondG1900 BabylonG897.’

44“Our fathersG3962 hadG1510 36the tabernacleG4633 of testimonyG3142 in the wildernessG2048, justG2531 asG2531 He who spokeG2980 to MosesG3475 directedG1299 him to makeG4160 it 37accordingG2596 to the patternG5179 whichG3739 he had seenG3708. 45Our fathersG3962 in turnG1237 receivedG1237 it, and they alsoG2532 38broughtG1521 it inG1521 with JoshuaG2424 upon dispossessingG2697 the 39nationsG1484 that GodG2316 droveG1856 outG1856 fromG575G4383 our fathersG3962, untilG2193 the timeG2250 of DavidG1160. 464041David foundG2147 favorG5485 inG1799 God’sG2316 sightG1799, and 42askedG154 that he might 43findG2147 a dwellingG4638 placeG4638 for the 44houseG3624 of JacobG2384. 47But it was 45SolomonG4672 who builtG3618 a houseG3624 for Him. 48HoweverG235, 46the MostG5310 HighG5310 does not dwellG2730 in houses madeG5499 byG5499 human handsG5499; as the prophetG4396 saysG3004:49‘47HeavenG3772 is My throneG2362, And the 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 restG2663?5048Was it not My handG5495 that madeG4160 allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778?’

51“You men who are 49stiff-neckedG4644 and uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 and earsG3775 are alwaysG104 resistingG496 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; you are doing justG5613 asG5613 your fathersG3962 did. 5250WhichG5101 oneG5101 of the prophetsG4396 did your fathersG3962 not persecuteG1377? They killedG615 thoseG3588 who had previouslyG4293 announcedG4293 the comingG1660 of 51the RighteousG1342 OneG1342, and 52you have nowG3568 becomeG1096 betrayersG4273 and murderersG5406 of Him; 53you whoG3748 receivedG2983 the LawG3551 as 53ordainedG1296 by angelsG32, and yet did not keepG5442 it.”
