Acts 7:32-60

³²I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.

³³Then sayde the Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.

³⁴I 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.

³⁵This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by the hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.

³⁶And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares.

³⁷This 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.

³⁸This is he that was in the congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in the moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs

³⁹to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte

⁴⁰sayinge 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.

⁴¹And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes.

⁴²Then 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 the housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes?

⁴³And 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.

⁴⁴Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in the wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene.

⁴⁵Which 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

⁴⁶which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob.

⁴⁷But Salomon bylt him an housse.

⁴⁸How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in temple made with hondes as saith the Prophete:

⁴⁹Heven 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?

⁵⁰hath not my honde made all these thinges?

⁵¹Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.

⁵²Which 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.

⁵³And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have not kept it.

⁵⁴When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.

⁵⁵But 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

⁵⁶and sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god.

⁵⁷Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him all at once

⁵⁸and caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete named Saul.

⁵⁹And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete.

⁶⁰And 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.
