48 But the Highest dwells not in temples made by hands; as says the prophet,

49 Heaven a throne to me, and earth the footstool of my feet: what house will ye build to me? says the Lord: or what the place of my rest?

50 Did not my hand make all these things?

51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, also you.

52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers drive out and they slew them announcing beforehand of the coming of the Just; of whom ye have now been traitors and murderers:

53 Who have received the law by the regulations of messengers, and ye watched not.

54 And having heard those, they were sawn through their hearts, and they gnashed the teeth upon him.

55 And being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently to heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,

56 And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

57 And having cried with a great voice, they held fast their ears, and rushed unanimously upon him,

58 And having cast out of the city, they stoned: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul.

59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60 And having set the knees, he cried with a great voice, Lord, wouldest thou not set this sin to them. And having said this he was set to sleep.
