Acts 7:46–54
46who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.↗
47But Solomon built him a house.↗
48However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,↗
49‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?↗
50Didn’t my hand make all these things?’↗
51“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.↗
52Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.↗
53You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”↗
54Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.↗
