Gwo diskou Etyèn nan
7 Pi gran sakrifikatè a di Etyèn konsa: “Èske sa yo di yo se vre?” 2 Etyèn reponn, li di: “Frè m ak papa m yo, koute: Bondye ki gran epi ki genyen tout glwa a te parèt devan Abraram, zansèt nou an. Lè sa a, Abraram te rete nan Mezopotami toujou. Li pa t ko al rete Karan. 3 Bondye di li: Kite peyi w ak tout fanmi w, pati ale nan peyi mwen va montre w la.(A)
4 Konsa, Abraram pati kite peyi Kalde,[a] l al viv nan Karan. Apre papa Abraram te mouri, Bondye fè l kite Karan pou l vin viv nan peyi sa a, kote n ap viv la. 5 Men Bondye pa t bay Abraram yon pati pou limenm. Li pa t bay Abraram menm yon pous nan peyi a. Okontrè, Bondye te pwomèt li l ap ba l tout peyi a nèt pou l rete ansanm ak pitit pitit li yo. Men Abraram pa t ko gen pitit lè sa a.
6 Men sa Bondye te di Abraram: Pitit pitit ou yo gen pou y al viv kòm etranje nan yon lòt peyi. Y ap fè yo tounen esklav nan peyi sa a epi y ap maltrete yo anpil pandan kat san (400) zan. 7 Men m ap gen pou m pini nasyon ki va fè yo tounen esklav yo a.(B) Apre sa, Bondye di l ankò: Apre bagay sa yo fin rive, y a soti kite peyi kote yo te esklav la epi y a vin sèvi m isit la.(C)
8 Apre sa, Bondye fè yon kontra ak Abraram epi Bondye deside se sikonsizyon k ap senbòl kontra sa a. Konsa, lè Abraram vin gen pitit gason li Isaak, li sikonsi Izarak sou uit (8) jou apre l te fin fèt. Menm jan an tou, lè Izaak fè Jakòb, li te sikonsi li tou, epi Jakòb te sikonsi douz pitit gason li yo ki se papa douz branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la.
9 Yon gwo jalouzi te vin pete pami douz zansèt nou yo kont Jozèf, pwòp frè yo. Konsa, yo vann li pou l al esklav nan peyi Lejip. Men Bondye pa t lage Jozèf. Li te toujou ansanm avè l. 10 Bondye te delivre Jozèf anba tout tribilasyon li epi li te ranpli l ak sajès. Bondye te fè Jozèf jwenn favè devan Farawon ki te wa peyi L epi p la. Konsa, Farawon te mete Jozèf chèf sou tout peyi Lejip ak sou tout kay Farawon an menm. 11 Vwala te gen yon gwo grangou ki te vin tonbe sou tout peyi Lejip ak sou Kanaran tou. Bagay la te rèd anpil pou moun yo, sa te fè yo soufri. Zansèt nou yo nan Kanaran pa t jwenn anyen pou yo manje.
12 Lè Jakòb aprann te gen manje pou vann nan peyi Lejip, li voye pitit gason l yo al achte. Se premye fwa yo te ale la. 13 Sou dezyèm vwayaj frè Jozèf yo te fè pou al achte manje, Jozèf te fè yo rekonèt li. Konsa Farawon Lejip la te fè konesans ak fanmi Jozèf yo tou. 14 Apre sa, Jozèf voye chache Jakòb, papa li, ansanm ak tout rès fanmi an. Yo tout ansanm te fè swasannkenz moun an total. 15 Konsa, Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip. Se nan peyi sa a li mouri tou, ansanm ak tout zansèt nou yo. 16 Yo monte ak kadav yo ale Sichèm. Yo antere yo tout nan tonbo Abraram te peye lajan kontan lè l te achte l nan men pitit Emò yo nan lavil Sichèm nan.
17 Firamezi lè pou Bondye te kenbe pwomès li te fè Abraram nan t ap pwoche, pèp la pa t sispann miltipliye nan peyi Lejip, li te vin pi plis. 18 Se kon sa sa te ye jouktan te vin gen yon wa nan tèt peyi Lejip ki pa t konnen anyen menm sou Jozèf. 19 Wa sa a te tonbe nan twonpe pèp nou an. Li maltrete zansèt nou yo byen maltrete. Li fòse yo abandone ti bebe yo deyò pou yo mouri.
20 Se nan epòk sa a menm Moyiz te fèt. Se te yon bèl ti pitit devan Bondye. Yo te kache Moyiz pandan twa (3) mwa lakay papa l pou pran swen li. 21 Finalman, lè yo oblije abandone l deyò, pitit fi Farawon an pran li. Prensès la elve Moyiz tankou pwòp pitit gason pa li. 22 Konsa, Ejipsyen yo te anseye Moyiz tout sa yo te genyen kòm konesans nan sistèm edikasyon yo a. Moyiz te vin yon gwo save epi sa te parèt aklè nan tout sa l di ak tout sa l fè.
23 Lè Moyiz te gen karant (40) an, li deside rann pèp li a yon vizit, m vle pale de pèp Izrayèl la. 24 Je Moyiz al tonbe sou yon Ejipsyen ki t ap maltrete yon moun pèp Izrayèl la. Moyiz deside antre nan koze a pou rann izrayelit ki t ap sibi move trètman an jistis. Konsa, Moyiz touye Ejipsyen an. 25 Moyiz te panse sa k pase a t ap ede pèp Izrayèl la konprann Bondye t ap sèvi ak li kòm enstriman pou delivre yo, men yo pa t konprann sa.
26 Nan denmen, Moyiz retounen vin vizite pèp li a ankò. Fwa sa a, li wè de moun pèp Izrayèl la k ap goumen antre yo. Li t ap eseye fè yo rekonsilye. Li di yo: Mesye m yo, èske se pa frè nou ye? Pouki sa nou youn ap maltrete lòt konsa? 27 Men, sa k t ap maltrete izrayelit parèy li a te pouse Moyiz sou kote. Epi li di Moyiz konsa: Ki lès ki mete w chèf sou nou pou pase nou lòd epi pou jije nou? 28 Ou gen lè vle touye m menm jan ou te touye Ejipsyen an yè a?(D) 29 Lè Moyiz tande moun pèp Izrayèl la di pawòl sa a, li chape poul li. Li kouri kite peyi Lejip pou l al viv nan peyi Madyan kòm etranje. Pandan l nan peyi Madyan, Moyiz vin gen madanm epi se la li fè de pitit gason.
30 Karant (40) an apre sa, pandan Moyiz te nan dezè ki bò mòn Sinayi a, yon anj parèt devan li nan mitan yon flanm dife ki t ap boule nan yon touf bwa. 31 Lè Moyiz wè flanm dife a nan touf bwa a, sa te fè l sezi. Li pwoche pi pre pou wè sa k genyen. Lè sa a, li tande yon vwa ki pale. Se te vwa Senyè a. 32 Senyè a di: Se mwen menm Bondye zansèt ou yo; Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Jakòb la.(E) Moyiz te pran tranble, tèlman li te pè. Li pa t menm oze gade touf bwa a ankò.
33 Senyè a di Moyiz ankò: Retire sapat ou nan pye w, paske kote ou kanpe a se yon tè ki apa pou mwen. 34 Mwen wè tray pèp mwen an ap pase nan peyi Lejip. Mwen tande jan y ap plenn anba soufrans yo. Mwen desann pou m vin delivre yo. Kounye a, vini m voye w retounen nan peyi Lejip.(F)
35 Se menm Moyiz sa a pèp la te rejte lè yo te di: Ki lès ki mete w chèf pou gouvène nou epi pou jije nou?(G) Se menm li menm nan Bondye voye pou l yon chèf sou yo ak yon sovè pou yo tou, avèk konkou anj ki te parèt devan li nan touf bwa a. 36 Se Moyiz ki te mennen pèp la soti kite peyi Lejip. Li te fè anpil mirak ak anpil bèl bagay nan peyi Lejip la menm, devan lanmè wouj la, nan dezè a, pandan karant (40) ane.
37 Se menm Moyiz sa a tou ki te di pèp Izrayèl la pawòl sa yo: Bondye gen pou l fè yon pwofèt parèt nan mitan nou. Se youn pami nou l ap ye tou, menm jan ak mwen.(H) 38 Se li menm ki te ansanm ak pèp Bondye a lè yo te nan dezè a. Li te nan dezè a ansanm ak zansèt nou yo ak anj Bondye a ki t ap pale ak li sou gwo mòn Sinayi a. Li te resevwa pawòl vivan an nan men anj lan pou l transmèt li ban nou.
39 Men zansèt nou yo te refize obeyi Moyiz. Okontrè, yo te rejte otorite l. Sèl sa k te nan tèt yo, se pou yo ta tounen tounen yo nan peyi Lejip. 40 Yo di Aawon konsa: Fè kèk lòt bondye pou nou ki pou mache devan nou pou dirije nou, paske Moyiz ki te mennen nou soti nan peyi Lejip la, nou pa konn sa k pase avè l.(I) 41 Konsa, yo fè yon zidòl ki gen fòm yon towo bèf. Apre sa, yo ofri sakrifis bay zidòl la. Se pa ti kontan yo te kontan pou zidòl yo te fè ak pwòp men pa yo a. 42 Men Bondye vire do ba yo. Li lage yo pou yo kontinye sèvi latriye move lespri yo ki nan lè a. Men sa Bondye te di nan liv pwofèt yo:
Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, èske se pou mwen nou te fè ofrann bèt ak lòt sakrifis,
pandan karantan nou te pase nan dezè a?
43 Se tant pou nou adore Molòk nou pote pito,
epi pòtre zetwal ki reprezante Refan
ansanm ak bann lòt imaj nou te fè pou n adore yo.
Poutèt sa, m ap voye nou al chwe jouk lòtbò Babilòn.(J)
44 Tabènak la,[b] ki se tant SENYÈ a la, li te ansanm ak zansèt nou yo nan dezè a. Yo te fè l egzakteman jan Bondye te mande Moyiz fè l la, selon modèl Moyiz te wè a. 45 Jenerasyon ki te fè tant lan te vin pase l bay jenerasyon ki te vin apre yo a, pami zansèt nou yo. Yo te gen tant lan ansanm ak yo lè Jozye t ap mennen yo antre nan peyi Bondye te pwomèt yo a, lè Bondye t ap chase pèp Kanaran yo devan yo a. Yo te kenbe tant sa a soti nan yon jenerasyon pou ale nan yon lòt jenerasyon jouk rive nan tan wa David la. 46 David te jwenn favè devan Bondye. Li te menm mande Bondye pèmisyon pou l bati yon Tanp pou pèp Izrayèl la.[c] 47 Men se Salomon ki te bati Tanp lan pou SENYÈ a.
48 Men, Bondye ki pi wo nan syèl la pa rete nan kay moun bati ak men yo. Men sa pwofèt la te di sou koze sa a:
49 Senyè a di: Syèl la se twòn kote m chita,
epi tè a menm se ti ban pou m lonje pye m.
Ki kalite kay nou ta ka bati pou mwen?
Èske m bezwen yon kote pou m repoze pou nou ta ka ofri m?
50 Èske se pa mwen menm ki fè tout bagay sa yo ak men m?”(K)
51 Apre sa, Etyèn di lidè yo konsa: “Nou pa manke gen tèt di. Nou fèmen kè nou. Nou bouche zòrèy nou lè Bondye ap pale ak nou. Nou pa janm sispann kenbe tèt ak Sentespri Bondye a. Menm jan zansèt nou yo te ye a, se kon sa nou ye tou. 52 Ki lès nan pwofèt yo zansèt nou yo pa t pèsekite? Yo touye tout pwofèt ki te anonse davans kijan Moun ki Jis la[d] t ap vini. Kounye a, nou menm nou leve talon kont pitit Bondye a menm epi nou touye l. 53 Se nou menm ki te resevwa lalwa Moyiz la Bondye te ban nou pa mwayen anj li yo, men nou pa obeyi lalwa sa a.”
Yo touye Etyèn
54 Lè lidè Jwif yo nan Gran Konsèy la tande pawòl sa yo nan bouch Etyèn, yo pa t manke fache kont li. Yo te tèlman ankòlè, yo manje dan sou Etyèn. 55 Men Etyèn menm te anba pouvwa Sentespri a. Li leve je l anlè, li gade syèl la. Li wè Bondye Papa a nan tout glwa li, epi li wè Jezi, pitit la ki kanpe adwat papa a. 56 Lè sa a, Etyèn di: Gade, mwen wè syèl la louvri, epi mwen wè Jezi, pitit lòm nan kanpe sou bò dwat Bondye.
57 Konsa, tout moun ki te la yo tonbe fè yon pakèt gwo bri. Yo bouche zòrèy yo pou yo pa tande sa Etyèn t ap di a, epi yo tout ansanm kouri sou li. 58 Yo trennen Etyèn mete deyò lavil la, epi yo tonbe kalonnen l ak kout wòch. Moun ki t ap akize Etyèn yo te retire rad yo bay yon jenn gason yo te rele Sòl pou siveye yo. 59 Pandan yo t ap kalonnen Etyèn anba kout wòch la, li menm li t ap lapriyè. Li t ap di: “Senyè Jezi, resevwa lespri mwen.” 60 Apre sa, Etyèn tonbe ajenou, li rele byen fò, li di: “Senyè, tanpri pa mete peche sa a sou kont yo.” Fini l fin di sa a, Etyèn mouri.

Stephen’s Speech to the Sanhedrin
7 Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”
2 To this he replied: “Brothers and fathers,(A) listen to me! The God of glory(B) appeared to our father Abraham while he was still in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Harran.(C) 3 ‘Leave your country and your people,’ God said, ‘and go to the land I will show you.’[a](D)
4 “So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living.(E) 5 He gave him no inheritance here,(F) not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land,(G) even though at that time Abraham had no child. 6 God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated.(H) 7 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’[b](I) 8 Then he gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision.(J) And Abraham became the father of Isaac and circumcised him eight days after his birth.(K) Later Isaac became the father of Jacob,(L) and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.(M)
9 “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph,(N) they sold him as a slave into Egypt.(O) But God was with him(P) 10 and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him to gain the goodwill of Pharaoh king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt and all his palace.(Q)
11 “Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.(R) 12 When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our forefathers on their first visit.(S) 13 On their second visit, Joseph told his brothers who he was,(T) and Pharaoh learned about Joseph’s family.(U) 14 After this, Joseph sent for his father Jacob and his whole family,(V) seventy-five in all.(W) 15 Then Jacob went down to Egypt, where he and our ancestors died.(X) 16 Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.(Y)
17 “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.(Z) 18 Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’[c](AA) 19 He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.(AB)
20 “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child.[d] For three months he was cared for by his family.(AC) 21 When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.(AD) 22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians(AE) and was powerful in speech and action.
23 “When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites. 24 He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian. 25 Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not. 26 The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’
27 “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?(AF) 28 Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’[e] 29 When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.(AG)
30 “After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. 31 When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say:(AH) 32 ‘I am the God of your fathers,(AI) the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’[f] Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.(AJ)
33 “Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.(AK) 34 I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’[g](AL)
35 “This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’(AM) He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He led them out of Egypt(AN) and performed wonders and signs(AO) in Egypt, at the Red Sea(AP) and for forty years in the wilderness.(AQ)
37 “This is the Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your own people.’[h](AR) 38 He was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel(AS) who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors;(AT) and he received living words(AU) to pass on to us.(AV)
39 “But our ancestors refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.(AW) 40 They told Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who led us out of Egypt—we don’t know what has happened to him!’[i](AX) 41 That was the time they made an idol in the form of a calf. They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made.(AY) 42 But God turned away from them(AZ) and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.(BA) This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets:
“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
43 You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek
and the star of your god Rephan,
the idols you made to worship.
Therefore I will send you into exile’[j](BB) beyond Babylon.
44 “Our ancestors had the tabernacle of the covenant law(BC) with them in the wilderness. It had been made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen.(BD) 45 After receiving the tabernacle, our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them.(BE) It remained in the land until the time of David,(BF) 46 who enjoyed God’s favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.[k](BG) 47 But it was Solomon who built a house for him.(BH)
48 “However, the Most High(BI) does not live in houses made by human hands.(BJ) As the prophet says:
49 “‘Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.(BK)
What kind of house will you build for me?
says the Lord.
Or where will my resting place be?
50 Has not my hand made all these things?’[l](BL)
51 “You stiff-necked people!(BM) Your hearts(BN) and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! 52 Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?(BO) They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him(BP)— 53 you who have received the law that was given through angels(BQ) but have not obeyed it.”
The Stoning of Stephen
54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious(BR) and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit,(BS) looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.(BT) 56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open(BU) and the Son of Man(BV) standing at the right hand of God.”
57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city(BW) and began to stone him.(BX) Meanwhile, the witnesses(BY) laid their coats(BZ) at the feet of a young man named Saul.(CA)
59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”(CB) 60 Then he fell on his knees(CC) and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.”(CD) When he had said this, he fell asleep.(CE)

Stephen's Speech
7 And the high priest said, “Are these things so?” 2 And Stephen said:
(A)“Brothers and fathers, hear me. (B)The God (C)of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, (D)before he lived in Haran, 3 and said to him, (E)‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.’ 4 (F)Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. And (G)after his father died, (H)God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living. 5 Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot's length, but promised (I)to give it to him as a possession and to his offspring after him, (J)though he had no child. 6 And God spoke to this effect—that (K)his offspring would (L)be sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them (M)four hundred years. 7 ‘But (N)I will judge the nation that they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out (O)and worship me in this place.’ 8 And (P)he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And (Q)so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and (R)circumcised him on the eighth day, and (S)Isaac became the father of Jacob, and (T)Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.
9 “And the patriarchs, (U)jealous of Joseph, (V)sold him into Egypt; but (W)God was with him 10 and rescued him out of all his afflictions and (X)gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, (Y)who made him ruler over Egypt and over all his household. 11 Now (Z)there came a famine throughout all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers could find no food. 12 (AA)But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers on their first visit. 13 And (AB)on the second visit (AC)Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and (AD)Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh. 14 And (AE)Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his kindred, (AF)seventy-five persons in all. 15 And (AG)Jacob went down into Egypt, and (AH)he died, he (AI)and our fathers, 16 and (AJ)they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that (AK)Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
17 “But (AL)as the time of the promise drew near, which God had granted to Abraham, (AM)the people increased and multiplied in Egypt 18 until there arose over Egypt another king (AN)who did not know Joseph. 19 (AO)He dealt shrewdly with our race and forced our fathers to expose their infants, (AP)so that they would not be kept alive. 20 (AQ)At this time Moses was born; and he was beautiful in God's sight. And he was brought up for three months in his father's house, 21 and (AR)when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and brought him up as her own son. 22 And Moses (AS)was instructed in (AT)all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was (AU)mighty in his words and deeds.
23 “When he was forty years old, it came into his heart (AV)to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of them being wronged, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian. 25 He supposed that his brothers would understand that God was giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not understand. 26 (AW)And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?’ 27 But the man who was wronging his neighbor thrust him aside, saying, (AX)‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’ 29 At this retort (AY)Moses fled and became an exile in the land of Midian, (AZ)where he became the father of two sons.
30 “Now when forty years had passed, (BA)an angel appeared to him (BB)in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. 31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and as he drew near to look, there came the voice of the Lord: 32 (BC)‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.’ And Moses trembled and did not dare to look. 33 Then the Lord said to him, (BD)‘Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. 34 (BE)I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and (BF)have heard their groaning, and (BG)I have come down to deliver them. (BH)And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
35 “This Moses, whom they rejected, (BI)saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer (BJ)by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 (BK)This man led them out, performing (BL)wonders and signs (BM)in Egypt and (BN)at the Red Sea and (BO)in the wilderness for (BP)forty years. 37 This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you (BQ)a prophet like me from your brothers.’ 38 This is the one (BR)who was in the congregation in the wilderness with (BS)the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. (BT)He received (BU)living (BV)oracles to give to us. 39 Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and (BW)in their hearts they turned to Egypt, 40 saying to Aaron, (BX)‘Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 And (BY)they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and (BZ)were rejoicing in (CA)the works of their hands. 42 But (CB)God turned away and (CC)gave them over to worship (CD)the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:
(CE)“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,
(CF)during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 You took up the tent of (CG)Moloch
and the star of your god Rephan,
the images that you made to worship;
and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’
44 “Our fathers had (CH)the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses (CI)directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen. 45 Our fathers in turn (CJ)brought it in with Joshua when they (CK)dispossessed the nations (CL)that God drove out before our fathers. So it was (CM)until the days of David, 46 (CN)who found favor in the sight of God and (CO)asked to find a dwelling place for (CP)the God of Jacob.[a] 47 But it was (CQ)Solomon who built a house for him. 48 (CR)Yet the Most High does not dwell (CS)in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,
49 (CT)“‘Heaven is my throne,
(CU)and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,
or what is the place of my rest?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?’
51 (CV)“You stiff-necked people, (CW)uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. (CX)As your fathers did, so do you. 52 (CY)Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of (CZ)the Righteous One, (DA)whom you have now betrayed and murdered, 53 you who received the law (DB)as delivered by angels and (DC)did not keep it.”
The Stoning of Stephen
54 Now when they heard these things (DD)they were enraged, and they (DE)ground their teeth at him. 55 But he, (DF)full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw (DG)the glory of God, and Jesus standing (DH)at the right hand of God. 56 And he said, “Behold, I see (DI)the heavens opened, and (DJ)the Son of Man standing (DK)at the right hand of God.” 57 But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together[b] at him. 58 Then (DL)they cast him out of the city and (DM)stoned him. And (DN)the witnesses laid down their garments (DO)at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And as they were stoning Stephen, (DP)he called out, “Lord Jesus, (DQ)receive my spirit.” 60 And (DR)falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, (DS)“Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, (DT)he fell asleep.
