48 However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: 49 ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you⁺ build for Me, says the Lord {Kyrios}, or where will My place of repose be? 50 Has not My hand made all these things 51 You⁺ stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You⁺ always resist the Holy Spirit {Hagiō Pneumati}, just as your⁺ fathers did. 52 Which of the prophets did your⁺ fathers {pateres} fail to persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One. And now you⁺ are His betrayers and murderers— 53 you who received the law ordained by angels (messengers), yet have not kept it. 54 On hearing this, the members of the Sanhedrin were enraged \On hearing these things, they were cut in their hearts/, and they gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit {Hagiou Pneumatos}, looked intently into heaven and saw the glory {doxan} of God {Theou} and Jesus (YHWH saves) standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look (Behold), he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God {Theou}. 57 At this they covered their ears, cried out in a loud voice, and rushed together at him. 58 They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul (asked for). 59 While they were stoning him, Stephen (that which surrounds) appealed, “Lord {Kyrie} Jesus (YHWH saves), receive my spirit {pneuma}. 60 Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord {Kyrie}, do not hold this sin against them. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7:48-60, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
