ASV_Strong : Acts 7
1. And[G1161] the high priest[G749] said[G2036], Are[G1487, 687] these things[G5023] so[G2192]?
2. And[G1161] he said[G5346], [G435] Brethren[G80] and[G2532] fathers[G3962], hearken[G191]: The God[G2316] of glory[G1391] appeared[G3700] unto[G3962] our[G2257] father[G3962] Abraham[G11], when he was[G5607] in[G1722] Mesopotamia[G3318], before[G4250] he[G846] dwelt[G2730] in[G1722] Haran[G5488],
3. and[G2532] said[G2036] unto[G4314] him[G846], Get thee out[G1831] of[G1537] thy[G4675] land[G1093], and[G2532] from[G1537] thy[G4675] kindred[G4772], and[G2532] come[G1204] into[G1519] the land[G1093] which[G3739, Leviticus2] I shall show[G1166] thee[G4671].
4. Then[G5119] came he out[G1831] of[G1537] the land[G1093] of[G1537] the Chaldaeans[G5466], and dwelt[G2730] in[G1722] Haran[G5488]: and from thence[G2547], when[G3326] his[G846] father[G3962] was dead[G599], God removed[G3351] him[G846] into[G1519] this[G3778] land[G1093], wherein[G1519] ye[G5210] now[G3568] dwell[G2730]:
5. and[G2532] he gave[G1325] him[G846] none[G3756] inheritance[G2817] in[G1722] it[G846], no[G3761], not so much as to set[G968] his foot[G4228] on[G4228]: and[G2532] he promised[G1861] that he would give[G1325] it[G1325] to him[G846] in[G1519] possession[G2697], and[G2532] to his[G846] seed[G4690] after[G3326] him[G846], when as yet he[G846] had[G5607] no[G3756] child[G5043].
6. And[G1161] God[G2316] spake[G2980] on this wise[G3779], that[G3754] his[G846] seed[G4690] should[G2071] sojourn[G3941] in[G1722] a strange[G245] land[G1093], and[G2532] that they should bring[G1402] them[G846] into bondage[G1402], and[G2532] treat them ill[G2559], four hundred[G5071] years[G2094].
7. And[G2532] the nation[G1484] to which[G3739] they shall be in bondage[G1398] will[G2919] I[G1473] judge[G2919], said[G2036] God[G2316]: and[G2532] after[G3326] that[G5023] shall they come forth[G1831], and[G2532] serve[G3000] me[G3427] in[G1722] this[G5129] place[G5117].
8. And[G2532] he gave[G1325] him[G846] the covenant[G1242] of circumcision[G4061]: and[G2532] so[G3779] Abraham begat[G1080] Isaac[G2464], and[G2532] circumcised[G4059] him[G846] the eighth[G3590] day[G2250]; and[G2532] Isaac[G2464] begat Jacob[G2384], and[G2532] Jacob[G2384] the twelve[G1427] patriarchs[G3966].
9. And[G2532] the patriarchs[G3966], moved with jealousy[G2206] against Joseph[G2501], sold[G591] him into[G1519] Egypt[G125]: and[G2532] God[G2316] was[G2258] with[G3326] him[G846],
10. and[G2532] delivered[G1807] him[G846] out of[G1537] all[G3956] his[G846] afflictions[G2347], and[G2532] gave[G1325] him[G846] favor[G5485] and[G2532] wisdom[G4678] before Pharaoh[G5328] king[G935] of[G1726] Egypt[G125]; and[G2532] he made[G2525] him[G846] governor[G2233] over[G1909] Egypt[G125] and[G2532] all[G3650] his[G846] house[G3624].
11. Now[G1161] there came[G2064] a famine[G3042] over[G1909] all[G3650, Genesis93] Egypt[G125] and[G2532] Canaan[G5477], and[G2532] great[G3173] affliction[G2347]: and[G2532] our[G2257] fathers[G3962] found[G2147] no[G3756] sustenance[G5527].
12. But[G1161] when[G191] Jacob[G2384] heard[G191] that there was[G5607] grain[G4621] in[G1722] Egypt[G125], he sent forth[G1821] our[G2257] fathers[G3962] the first time[G4412].
13. And[G2532] at[G1722] the second[G1208] time Joseph[G2501] was made known[G319] to[G80] his[G846] brethren[G80]; and[G2532] Joseph[G2501]'s race[G1085] became[G1096] manifest[G5318] unto Pharaoh[G5328].
14. And[G1161] Joseph[G2501] sent[G649], and[G1161] called[G3333] to[G1722] him Jacob[G2384] his[G846] father[G3962], and[G2532] all[G3956] his[G846] kindred[G4772], threescore[G1440] and fifteen[G4002] souls[G5590].
15. And[G1161] Jacob[G2384] went down[G2597] into[G1519] Egypt[G125]; and[G2532] he[G846] died[G5053], himself and[G2532] our[G2257] fathers[G3962];
16. and[G2532] they were carried over[G3346] unto[G1519] Shechem[G4966], and[G2532] laid[G5087] in[G1722] the tomb[G3418] that[G3739] Abraham[G11] bought[G5608] for a price[G5092] in silver[G694] of[G3844] the sons[G5207] of Hamor[G1697] in[G3588] Shechem[G4966].
17. But[G1161] as[G2531] the time[G5550] of the promise[G1860] drew nigh[G1448] which[G3739] God[G2316] vouchsafed[G3660] unto Abraham[G11], the people[G2992] grew[G837] and[G2532] multiplied[G4129] in[G1722] Egypt[G125],
18. till[G891, 3757] there arose[G450] another[G2087] king[G935] over Egypt[G3739], who knew[G1492] not[G3756] Joseph[G2501].
19. The same[G3778] dealt craftily[G2686] with[G1085] our[G2257] race[G1085], and ill-treated[G2559] our[G2257] fathers[G3962], that they[G4160] should cast out[G1570] their[G846] babes[G1025] to the end[G1519] they might[G2225] not[G3361] live[G2225].
20. At[G1722] which[G3739] season[G2540] Moses[G3475] was born[G1080], and[G2532] was[G2258] exceeding[G2316] fair[G791]; and[G2532] he was nourished[G397] three[G5140] months[G3376] in[G1722] his[G846] father[G3962]'s house[G3624].
21. and[G1161] when he[G846] was cast out[G1620], Pharaoh[G5328]'s daughter[G2364] took[G337] him[G846] up[G337], and[G2532] nourished[G397] him[G846] for[G1519] her own[G1438] son[G5207].
22. And[G2532] Moses[G3475] was instructed[G3811] in all[G3956] the wisdom[G4678] of the Egyptians[G124]; and[G1161] he was[G2258] mighty[G1415] in[G1722] his words[G3056] and[G2532, 1722] works[G2041].
23. But[G1161] when[G5613] he[G846] was well-nigh[G4137] forty years[G5063] old[G5550], it came[G305] into[G1909] his[G846] heart[G2588] to visit[G1980] his[G846] brethren[G80] the children[G5207] of Israel[G2474].
24. And[G2532] seeing[G1492] one[G5100] of them suffer wrong[G91], he defended[G292] him[G2532], and avenged[G1557, 4160] him that was oppressed[G2669], smiting[G3960] the Egyptian[G124]:
25. and[G1161] he supposed[G3543] that his[G846] brethren[G80] understood[G4920] that[G3754] God[G2316] by[G1223] his[G846] hand[G5495] was giving them[G846, 4991] deliverance[G1325]; but[G1161] they understood[G4920] not[G3756].
26. And[G5037] the day[G2250] following[G1966] he appeared[G3700] unto them[G846] as they strove[G3164], and[G2532] would have set[G4900] them[G846] at[G1519] one[G1515] again[G4900], saying[G2036], Sirs[G435], ye[G5210] are[G2075] brethren[G80]; why[G2444] do ye wrong[G91] one to another[G240]?
27. But[G1161] he that did[G91] his neighbor[G4139] wrong[G91] thrust[G683] him[G846] away[G683], saying[G2036], Who[G5101] made[G2525] thee[G4571] a ruler[G758] and[G2532] a judge[G1348] over[G1909] us[G2248]?
28. Wouldest[G3361, Psalms9] thou[G4771] kill[G337] me[G3165], as[G3739] thou[G4771] killedst[G337] the Egyptian[G124] yesterday[G5504]?
29. And[G1161] Moses[G3475] fled[G5343] at[G1722] this[G5129] saying[G3056], and[G2532] became[G1096] a sojourner[G3941] in[G1722] the land[G1093] of Midian[G3099], where[G3757] he begat[G1080] two[G1417] sons[G5207].
30. And[G2532] when[G4137] forty[G5062] years[G2094] were fulfilled[G4137], an angel[G32, 2962] appeared[G3700] to him[G846] in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048] of Mount[G3735] Sinai[G4614], in[G1722] a flame[G5395] of fire[G4442] in a bush[G942].
31. And when[G1161] Moses[G3475] saw[G1492] it[G2296], he wondered at the sight[G3705]: and[G1161] as he drew near[G4334] to behold[G2657], there came[G1096, 4314, 846] a voice[G5456] of the Lord[G2962],
32. I[G1473] am the God[G2316] of[G3962] thy[G4675] fathers[G3962], the God[G2316] of Abraham[G11], and[G2532, 2316] of Isaac[G2464], and[G2532, 2316] of Jacob[G2384]. And[G1161] Moses[G3475] trembled[G1096], and durst[G5111] not[G3756] behold[G2657].
33. And[G1161] the Lord[G2962] said[G2036] unto him[G846], Loose[G3089] the[G4675] shoes[G5266] from[G4228] thy[G4675] feet[G4228]: for[G1063] the place[G5117] whereon[G1722, 3739] thou standest[G2476] is[G2076] holy[G40] ground[G1093].
34. I have surely[G1492] seen[G1492] the affliction[G2561] of[G2992] my[G3450] people[G2992] that[G3588] is in[G1722] Egypt[G125], and[G2532] have heard[G191] their[G846] groaning[G4726], and[G2532] I am come down[G2597] to deliver[G1807] them[G846]: and[G2532] now[G3568] come[G1204], I will send[G649] thee[G4571] into[G1519] Egypt[G125].
35. This[G5126] Moses[G3475] whom[G3739] they refused[G720], saying[G2036], Who[G5101] made[G2525] thee[G4571] a ruler[G758] and[G2532] a judge[G1348]? him[G5126] hath[G649] God[G2316] sent[G649] to be both a ruler[G758] and[G2532] a deliverer[G3086] with[G1722] the hand[G5495] of the angel[G32] that[G3588] appeared[G3700] to him[G846] in[G1722] the bush[G942].
36. This man[G3778] led[G1806] them[G846] forth[G1806], having wrought[G4160] wonders[G5059] and[G2532] signs[G4592] in[G1722, Genesis93] Egypt[G125], and[G2532] in[G1722] the[G2281] Red[G2063] Sea[G2281], and[G2532] in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048] forty[G5062] years[G2094].
37. This[G3778] is[G2076] that[G3778] Moses[G3475], who said[G2036] unto the children[G5207] of Israel[G2474], A prophet[G4396] shall[G450] God[G2316, 5216, 2316] raise up[G450] unto you[G5213] from[G1537] among your[G5216] brethren[G80], like[G5613] unto me[G1691].
38. This[G3778] is[G2076] he that was[G1096] in[G1722] the church[G1577] in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048] with[G3326] the angel[G32] that[G3588] spake[G2980] to him[G846] in[G1722] the Mount[G3735] Sinai[G4614], and[G2532] with our[G2257] fathers[G3962]: who[G3739] received[G1209] living[G2198] oracles[G3051] to give[G1325] unto us[G2254]:
39. to whom[G3739] our[G2257] fathers[G3962] would[G2309] not[G3756] be[G1096] obedient[G5255], but[G235] thrust[G683] him from them[G683], and[G2532] turned back[G4762] in[G2588] their[G846] hearts[G2588] unto[G1519] Egypt[G125],
40. saying[G2036] unto Aaron[G2], Make[G4160] us[G2254] gods[G2316] that[G3739] shall go before[G4313] us[G2257]: for[G1063] as for this[G3778] Moses[G3475], who[G3739] led[G1806] us[G2248] forth out[G1806] of[G1537] the land[G1093] of Egypt[G125], we know[G1492] not[G3756] what[G5101] is become[G1096] of him[G846].
41. And[G2532] they made a calf[G3447] in[G1722] those[G1565] days[G2250], and[G2532] brought[G321] a sacrifice[G2378] unto the idol[G1497], and[G2532] rejoiced[G2165] in[G1722] the works[G2041] of their[G846] hands[G5495].
42. But[G1161] God[G2316] turned[G4762], and[G2532] gave[G3860] them[G846] up[G3860] to serve[G3000] the host[G4756] of heaven[G3772]; as[G2531] it is written[G1125] in[G1722] the book[G976] of the prophets[G4396], Did ye offer[G4374] unto me[G3427] slain beasts[G4968] and[G2532] sacrifices[G2378] Forty[G5062] years[G2094] in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048], O house[G3624] of Israel[G3361]?
43. And[G2532] ye took up[G353] the tabernacle[G4633] of[G2316] Moloch[G3434], And[G2532] the star[G798] of[G2316] the god[G2316] Rephan[G4481], The figures[G5179] which[G3739] ye made[G4160] to worship[G4352] them[G846]: And[G2532] I will carry[G3351] you[G5209] away[G3351] beyond[G1900] Babylon[G897].
44. Our[G2257] fathers[G3962] had[G2258] the tabernacle[G4633] of the testimony[G3142] in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048], even as[G2531] he appointed[G1299] who spake[G2980] unto Moses[G3475], that he should make[G4160] it[G846] according to[G2596] the figure[G5179] that[G3739] he had seen[G3708].
45. Which[G3739] also[G2532] our[G2257] fathers[G3962], in their turn[G1237], brought in[G1521] with[G3326] Joshua[G2424] when they entered on[G1722] the possession[G2697] of the nations[G1484], that[G3739] God[G2316] thrust out[G1856] before[G575] the face[G4383] of[G3962] our[G2257] fathers[G3962], unto[G2193] the days[G2250] of David[G1138];
46. who[G3739] found[G2147] favor[G5485] in the sight[G1799] of God[G2316], and[G2532] asked[G154] to find[G2147] a habitation[G4638] for the God[G2316] of Jacob[G2384].
47. But[G1161] Solomon[G4672] built[G3618] him[G846] a house[G3624].
48. Howbeit[G235] the Most High[G5310] dwelleth[G2730] not[G3756] in[G1722] houses[G3485] made with hands[G5499]; as[G2531] saith[G3004] the prophet[G4396],
49. The heaven[G3772] is my[G3427] throne[G2362], And[G1161] the earth[G1093] the[G3450, 4228] footstool[G5286] of my feet[G4169]: What manner of house[G3624] will ye build[G3618] Me[G3427]? saith[G3004] the Lord[G2962]: Or[G2228] what[G5101] is the place[G5117] of[G2663] my[G3450] rest[G2663]?
50. Did[G4160] not[G3780] my[G3450] hand[G5495] make[G4160] all[G3956] these things[G5023]?
51. Ye[G5210] stiffnecked[G4644] and[G2532] uncircumcised[G564] in heart[G2588] and[G2532] ears[G3775], ye do[G496] always[G104] resist[G496] the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151]: as[G5613] your[G5216] fathers[G3962] did[G2532], so do ye[G5210].
52. Which[G5101] of the prophets[G4396] did[G1377] not[G3756] your[G5216] fathers[G3962] persecute[G1377]? and[G2532] they killed[G615] them that[G3588] showed before[G4293] of[G4012] the coming[G1660] of the Righteous One[G1342]; of whom[G3739] ye[G5210] have now[G3568] become[G1096] betrayers[G4273] and[G2532] murderers[G5406];
53. ye who[G3748] received[G2983] the law[G3551] as it was ordained[G1296] by[G1519] angels[G32], and[G2532, 5442] kept[G5442] it not[G3756].
54. Now when[G1161] they heard[G191] these things[G5023], they were cut[G1282] to the heart[G846], and[G2532] they gnashed[G1031] on[G1909] him[G846] with[G3599] their teeth[G3599].
55. But[G1161] he[G5225], being full[G4134] of the[G4151] Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151], looked[G816] up[G1519] stedfastly[G816] into[G1519] heaven[G3772], and[G2532] saw[G1492] the glory[G1391] of God[G2316], and[G2532] Jesus[G2424] standing[G2476] on[G1537] the right hand[G1188] of God[G2316],
56. and[G2532] said[G2036], Behold[G2400], I see[G2334] the heavens[G3772] opened[G455], and[G2532] the Son[G5207] of Man[G444] standing[G2476] on[G1537] the right hand[G1188] of God[G2316].
57. But[G1161] they cried out[G2896] with a[G5456] loud[G3173] voice[G5456], and stopped[G4912] their[G846] ears[G3775], and[G2532] rushed[G3729] upon[G1909] him[G846] with one accord[G3661];
58. and[G2532] they cast[G1544] him out[G1854] of the city[G4172], and[G2532] stoned[G3036] him[G2532]: and the witnesses[G3144] laid down[G659] their[G846] garments[G2440] at[G3844] the feet[G4228] of a young man[G3494] named[G2564] Saul[G4569].
59. And[G2532] they stoned[G3036] Stephen[G4736], calling upon[G1941] the Lord[G2532], and saying[G3004], Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424], receive[G1209] my[G3450] spirit[G4151].
60. And[G1161] he kneeled[G5087] down[G1119], and[G1161] cried[G2896] with a[G5456] loud[G3173] voice[G5456], Lord[G2962], lay[G2476] not[G3361] this[G3778] sin[G266] to their[G846] charge[G2476]. And[G2532] when he had said[G2036] this[G5124], he fell asleep[G2837].
