Acts - Chapter: 7


7:1	Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
7:2	And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
7:3	And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
7:4	Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
7:5	And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
7:6	And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
7:7	And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
7:8	And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
7:9	And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
7:10	And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
7:11	Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
7:12	But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
7:13	And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
7:14	Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
7:15	So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
7:16	And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
7:17	But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
7:18	Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
7:19	The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
7:20	In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
7:21	And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
7:22	And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
7:23	And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
7:24	And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
7:25	For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
7:26	And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
7:27	But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
7:28	Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
7:29	Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
7:30	And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
7:31	When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
7:32	Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
7:33	Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
7:34	I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
7:35	This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
7:36	He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
7:37	This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
7:38	This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
7:39	To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
7:40	Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
7:41	And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
7:42	Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
7:43	Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
7:44	Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
7:45	Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
7:46	Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
7:47	But Solomon built him an house.
7:48	Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
7:49	Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
7:50	Hath not my hand made all these things?
7:51	Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
7:52	Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
7:53	Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
7:54	When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
7:55	But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
7:56	And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
7:57	Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
7:58	And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
7:59	And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
7:60	And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.


7:1	Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so?
7:2	And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
7:3	And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee.
7:4	Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell,
7:5	And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe.
7:6	But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres.
7:7	But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place.
7:8	Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes.
7:9	And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
7:10	And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house.
7:11	Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance.
7:12	But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
7:13	And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao.
7:14	Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules.
7:15	So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers,
7:16	And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem.
7:17	But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt,
7:18	Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph.
7:19	The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue.
7:20	The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths.
7:21	And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne.
7:22	And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes.
7:23	Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel.
7:24	And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian.
7:25	For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not.
7:26	And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another?
7:27	But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs?
7:28	Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
7:29	Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes.
7:30	And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush.
7:31	And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying,
7:32	I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it.
7:33	Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground.
7:34	I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt.
7:35	This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush.
7:36	Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres.
7:37	This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare.
7:38	This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs.
7:39	To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt:
7:40	Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.
7:41	And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes.
7:42	Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes?
7:43	And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon.
7:44	Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene.
7:45	Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid:
7:46	Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
7:47	But Salomon built him an house.
7:48	Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet,
7:49	Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in?
7:50	Hath not mine hand made all these things?
7:51	Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you.
7:52	Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers,
7:53	Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it.
7:54	But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.
7:55	But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,
7:56	And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.
7:57	Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,
7:58	And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.
7:59	And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.
7:60	And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.


7:1	Then sayde ye chefe prest: is it even so?
7:2	And he sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraha whyll he was yet in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran
7:3	and sayd vnto him: come out of thy contre and from thy kynred and come into the londe which I shall shewe the.
7:4	Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell
7:5	and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
7:6	God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll .iiii.C. yeares.
7:7	But the nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place.
7:8	And he gave him the covenaunt of circumcision. And he begat Isaac and circumcised him the viii. daye and Isaac begat Iacob and Iacob the twelve patriarkes
7:9	And the patriarkes havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him
7:10	and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
7:11	Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
7:12	But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
7:13	and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao.
7:14	Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules.
7:15	And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers
7:16	and were translated into Sichem ond were put in ye sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem.
7:17	When ye tyme of ye promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte
7:18	till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.
7:19	The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
7:20	The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
7:21	When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.
7:22	And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
7:23	And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
7:24	And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
7:25	For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.
7:26	And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?
7:27	But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
7:28	What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
7:29	Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.
7:30	And when .xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
7:31	When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
7:32	I am ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
7:33	Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
7:34	I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
7:35	This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
7:36	And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares.
7:37	This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.
7:38	This is he that was in ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
7:39	to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte
7:40	sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
7:41	And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.
7:42	Then God turned him selfe and gave them vp that they shuld worship the starres of the skye as it is written in the boke of the prophetes. O ye of ye housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes?
7:43	And ye toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the starre of youre god Remphan figures which ye made to worshippe them. And I will translate you beyonde Babylon.
7:44	Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in ye wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene.
7:45	Which tabernacle oure fathers receaved and brought it in with Iosue into the possession of the gentyls which God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David
7:46	which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.
7:47	But Salomon bylt him an housse.
7:48	How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in teple made with hondes as saith the Prophete:
7:49	Heven is my seate and erth is my fote stole what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde? or what place is it that I shuld rest in?
7:50	hath not my honde made all these thinges?
7:51	Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.
7:52	Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred.
7:53	And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have not kept it.
7:54	When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.
7:55	But he beynge full of the holy goost loked vp stedfastlye with his eyes into heven and sawe the glorie of God and Iesus stondynge on the ryght honde of God
7:56	and sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god.
7:57	Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him all at once
7:58	and caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete named Saul.
7:59	And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.
7:60	And he kneled doune and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde laye not this synne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken he fell a slepe.
