Deeds (Act) of Apostles 7:43-59

⁴³And ye have taken the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures that ye have made to worship them; and I shall translate you into Babylon (or and so I shall lead you to Babylon).

⁴⁴The tabernacle of witnessing was with our fathers in desert, (or The Tabernacle, or the Tent, of the Testimony was with our fathers in the desert), as God assigned to them, and spake to Moses, that he should make it after the form that he saw.

⁴⁵Which also our fathers took with Jesus, (or he) that was (called) Joshua, and brought into the possession of (the) heathen men, which God putted away from the face of our fathers, till into the days of David,

⁴⁶that found grace with God, and asked that he should find a tabernacle to (the) God of Jacob. (who found grace with God, and asked if he could make a Tabernacle for the God of Jacob.)

⁴⁷But Solomon builded the house to him. Solomon forsooth built an house to him. (But it was Solomon who built a House, or the Temple, for him.)

⁴⁸But the high God dwelleth not in things made by hand, as he saith by the prophet,

⁴⁹Heaven is a seat to me (or Heaven is my throne), and the earth is the stool of my feet; what house shall ye build to me, saith the Lord, either what place is of my resting? or which is the place of my resting?

⁵⁰Whether mine hand made not all these things?

⁵¹With hard noll, and uncircumcised hearts and ears, ye withstand (for)evermore the Holy Ghost; and as your fathers, so ye. (With a stiff neck, and uncircumcised hearts and ears, ye always stand against the Holy Spirit; and so ye be just like your fathers.)

⁵²Whom of the prophets have not your fathers pursued (or Whom of the prophets have your fathers not persecuted), and have slain them that before-told of the coming of the rightful man or of the just man, whose traitors and manslayers ye were now?

⁵³Which took the law in ordinance of angels, and have not kept it. (Who received the Law through the facility of angels, but have not obeyed it.)

⁵⁴And they heard these things, and were diversely tormented in their hearts, and they grinded, or gnashed, with (their) teeth on (or at) him.

⁵⁵But when Stephen was full of the Holy Ghost, he beheld into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right half of the virtue of God. (But when Stephen was full of the Holy Spirit, he beheld into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right side, or at the right hand, of the power of God.)

⁵⁶And he said, Lo! I see heavens opened, and man’s Son or the Son of man standing on the right half of the virtue of God. (And he said, Behold! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right side, or at the right hand, of the power of God.)

⁵⁷And they cried with a great voice, and stopped their ears, and made with one will an assault into him.

⁵⁸And they brought him out of the city, and stoned him. And the witnesses did off their clothes, beside the feet of a young man, that was called Saul.

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, that called God to help (or who called to God for help), saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
