Acts 7:1-5 ▼

1 Then the high priest said, |Are these things true?|

2 So he replied, |Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,

3 and said to him, 'Go out from your country and from your relatives, and come to the land I will show you.'

4 Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God made him move to this country where you now live.

5 He did not give any of it to him for an inheritance, not even a foot of ground, yet God promised to give it to him as his possession, and to his descendants after him, even though Abraham as yet had no child.
