New Testament

Acts 7:48-56 New English Translation (NET)

48. Yet the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands, as the prophet says,

49. ‘Heaven is my throne,and earth is the footstool for my feet.What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,or what is my resting place?

50. Did my hand not make all these things?’

51. “You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!

52. Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become!

53. You received the law by decrees given by angels, but you did not obey it.”

54. When they heard these things, they became furious and ground their teeth at him.

55. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

56. “Look!” he said. “I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
