* Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness , as he had appointed , speaking unto Moses , that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen . * Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles , whom God drave out before the face of our fathers , unto the days of David ; * Who found favour before God , and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob . * But Solomon built him an house . * Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; as saith the prophet , * Heaven is my throne , and earth is my footstool : what house will ye build me ? saith the Lord : or what is the place of my rest ? * Hath not my hand made all these things ? * Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears , ye do always resist the Holy Ghost : as your fathers did , so do ye . * Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One ; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers : * Who have received the law by the disposition of angels , and have not kept it . * When they heard these things , they were cut to the heart , and they gnashed on him with their teeth . * But he , being full of the Holy Ghost , looked up stedfastly into heaven , and saw the glory of God , and Jesus standing on the right hand of God , * And said , Behold , I see the heavens opened , and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God . * Then they cried out with a loud voice , and stopped their ears , and ran upon him with one accord , * And cast him out of the city , and stoned him : and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man 's feet , whose name was Saul . * And they stoned Stephen , calling upon God , and saying , Lord Jesus , receive my spirit . * And he kneeled down , and cried with a loud voice , Lord , lay not this sin to their charge . And when he had said this , he fell asleep .
