AC-7:1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

AC-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,

AC-7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from

thy kindred,

and come into the land which I shall show thee.

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-7:9 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into

Egypt: but God

was with him,

AC-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.

AC-7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and

Chanaan, and

great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

AC-7:12 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he

sent out our

fathers first.

AC-7:13 And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his

brethren; and

Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

AC-7:14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to [him],

and all his

kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

AC-7:15 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our

fathers,

AC-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.

AC-7:17 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God

had sworn to

Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

AC-7:18 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

AC-7:19 The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil

entreated our

fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end

they might not

live.

AC-7:20 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair,

and nourished up

in his father's house three months:

AC-7:21 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him

up, and

nourished him for her own son.

AC-7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the

Egyptians, and was

mighty in words and in deeds.

AC-7:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his

heart to visit

his brethren the children of Israel.

AC-7:24 And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended

[him], and avenged

him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

AC-7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how

that God by his

hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

AC-7:26 And the next day he showed 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?

AC-7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away,

saying, Who made

thee a ruler and a judge over us?

AC-7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian

yesterday?

AC-7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in

the land of

Madian, where he begat two sons.

AC-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.

AC-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,

AC-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.

AC-7:33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy

feet: for the

place where thou standest is holy ground.

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-7:36 He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders

and signs in the

land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty

years.

AC-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.

AC-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:

AC-7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust [him]

from them, and in

their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-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?

AC-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.

AC-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.

AC-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;

AC-7:46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a

tabernacle for the

God of Jacob.

AC-7:47 But Solomon built him an house.

AC-7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with

hands; as

saith the prophet,

AC-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?

AC-7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

AC-7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye

do always

resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye.

AC-7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?

and they have

slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of

whom ye have

been now the betrayers and murderers:

AC-7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels,

and have not

kept [it].

AC-7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the

heart, and they

gnashed on him with [their] teeth.

AC-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,

AC-7:56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son

of man

standing on the right hand of God.

AC-7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped

their ears, and ran

upon him with one accord,

AC-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.

AC-7:59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God], and saying,

Lord Jesus,

receive my spirit.

AC-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.
