Stephen’s Defense
1 Now G1161 the high G749 priest G749 said G3004, “Are these G3778 things G3778 so G3779?”
2 And [fn]Stephen said G5346, “Listen G191 to me, [fn]brothers G435 G80 and fathers G3962! The God G2316 of glory G1391 appeared G3708 to our father G3962 Abraham G11 when he was in Mesopotamia G3318, before G4250 he lived G2730 in [fn]Haran G5488,
3 and He said G3004 to him, ‘GO G1831 FROM G1831 YOUR COUNTRY G1093 AND YOUR RELATIVES G4772, AND COME G1204 TO THE LAND G1093 WHICH G3739 I WILL SHOW G1166 YOU.’ 4 Then G5119 he left G1831 the land G1093 of the Chaldeans G5466 and settled G2730 in [fn]Haran G5488. And from G2547 there G2547, after G3326 his father G3962 died G599, God had him move G3351 to this G3778 country G1093 in which G3739 you are now G3568 living G2730. 5 But He gave G1325 him no G3756 inheritance G2817 in it, not even G3761 a foot G4228 of ground G968, and yet, He promised G1861 that He would give G1325 it to him as a possession G2697, and to his descendants G4690 after G3326 him, even though he had no child G5043. 6 But God G2316 spoke G2980 to G3779 this G3779 effect G3779, that his DESCENDANTS G4690 WOULD BE STRANGERS G3941 IN A LAND G1093 THAT WAS NOT G245 THEIRS G245, AND [fn]THEY WOULD ENSLAVE G1402 AND MISTREAT G2559 THEM FOR FOUR G5071 HUNDRED G5071 YEARS G2094. 7 ‘AND WHATEVER G3739 G1437 NATION G1484 TO WHICH G3739 THEY ARE ENSLAVED G1398 I MYSELF G1473 WILL JUDGE G2919,’ said G3004 God G2316, ‘AND AFTER G3326 THAT THEY WILL COME G1831 OUT AND [fn]SERVE G3000 ME IN THIS G3778 PLACE G5117.’ 8 And He gave G1325 him [fn]the covenant G1242 of circumcision G4061; and so G3779 Abraham fathered G1080 Isaac G2464, and circumcised G4059 him on the eighth G3590 day G2250; and Isaac G2464 fathered Jacob G2384, and Jacob G2384, the twelve G1427 patriarchs G3966.
9 “The patriarchs G3966 became G2206 jealous G2206 of Joseph G2501 and sold G591 him into Egypt G125. Yet God G2316 was with him, 10 and rescued G1807 him from all G3956 his afflictions G2347, and granted G1325 him favor G5485 and wisdom G4678 in G1726 the G1726 sight G1726 of Pharaoh G5328, king G935 of Egypt G125, and he made G2525 him governor G2233 over G1909 Egypt G125 and his entire G3650 household G3624.
11 “Now G1161 a famine G3042 came G2064 over G1909 all G3650 Egypt G125 and Canaan G5477, and great G3173 affliction G2347 with it, and our fathers G3962 [fn]could find G2147 no G3756 food G5527. 12 But when Jacob G2384 heard G191 that there was grain G6079 in Egypt G125, he sent G1821 our fathers G3962 there the first G4413 time G4413. 13 And on the second G1208 visit, Joseph G2501 [fn]made G1107 himself known G1107 to his brothers G80, and Joseph’s G2501 family G1085 was revealed G5318 to Pharaoh G5328. 14 Then G2532 Joseph G2501 sent G649 word and invited G3333 his father G3962 Jacob G2384 and all G3956 his relatives G4772 to come to him, seventy-five G1440 G4002 [fn]people G5590 in all. 15 And Jacob G2384 went G2597 down G2597 to Egypt G125, and he and our fathers G3962 died G5053 there. 16 And they were brought G3346 back G3346 from there to [fn]Shechem G4966 and laid G5087 in the tomb G3418 which G3739 Abraham G11 had purchased G5608 for a sum G5092 of money G694 from the sons G5207 of [fn]Hamor G1697 in [fn]Shechem G4966.
17 “But as the time G5550 of the promise G1860 which G3739 God G2316 had assured G3670 to Abraham G11 was approaching G1448, the people G2992 increased G837 and multiplied G4129 in Egypt G125, 18 until G891 ANOTHER G2087 KING G935 AROSE G450 OVER G1909 EGYPT G125 WHO G3739 DID NOT KNOW G6063 JOSEPH G2501. 19 It was he who shrewdly G2686 took G2686 advantage G2686 of G2686 our nation G1085 and mistreated G2559 our fathers G3962 in order that they would abandon G4160 G1570 their infants G1025 in the Nile, so G1519 that G1519 they would not survive G2225. 20 At this G3739 time G2540 Moses G3475 was born G1080; and he was beautiful G791 to God G2316. He was nurtured G397 for three G5140 months G3376 in his father’s G3962 home G3624. 21 And after he had been put G1620 outside G1620, Pharaoh’s G5328 daughter G2364 [fn]took G337 him away G337 and nurtured G397 him as her own G1438 son G5207. 22 Moses G3475 was educated G3811 in all G3956 the wisdom G4678 of the Egyptians G124, and he was proficient G1415 in [fn]speaking G3056 and action G2041. 23 But when G5613 he was approaching G4137 the age G5550 of forty G5063, it entered G305 his [fn]mind G2588 to visit G1980 his countrymen G80, the sons G5207 of Israel G2474. 24 And when he saw G3708 one G5100 of them being treated G91 unjustly G91, he defended G292 and took G4160 vengeance G1557 for the oppressed G2669 man G2669 by fatally striking G3960 the Egyptian G124. 25 And he thought G3543 that his brothers G80 understood G4920 that God G2316 was granting G1325 them [fn]deliverance G4991 [fn]through G1223 him; but they did not understand G4920. 26 And on the following G1897 day G2250 he appeared G3708 to them as they were fighting G3164 each G3164 other G3164, and he tried to reconcile G4900 them to peace G1515, by saying G3004, ‘Men G435, you are brothers G80, why G2443 G5101 are you injuring G91 each G240 other G240?’ 27 But the one who was injuring G91 his neighbor G4139 pushed G683 him away G683, saying G3004, ‘WHO G5101 MADE G2525 YOU A RULER G758 AND JUDGE G1348 OVER G1909 US? 28 YOU DO NOT INTEND G2309 TO KILL G337 ME AS YOU KILLED G337 THE EGYPTIAN G124 YESTERDAY G5504, DO YOU?’ 29 At this G3778 remark G3056, MOSES G3475 FLED G5343 AND BECAME G1096 A STRANGER G3941 IN THE LAND G1093 OF [fn]MIDIAN G3099, where G3757 he fathered G1080 two G1417 sons G5207.
30 “After forty G5062 years G2094 had passed G4137, an angel G32 appeared G3708 to him in the wilderness G2048 of Mount G3735 Sinai G4614, in the flame G5395 of a burning G4442 thorn G942 bush G942. 31 When Moses G3475 saw G3708 it, he was G2296 astonished G2296 at the sight G3705; and as he approached G4334 to look G2657 more closely G2657, the voice G5456 of the Lord G2962 came G1096: 32 ‘I AM THE GOD G2316 OF YOUR FATHERS G3962, THE GOD G2316 OF ABRAHAM G11, AND ISAAC G2464, AND JACOB G2384.’ Moses G3475 shook G1790 with G1790 fear G1790 and did not dare G5111 to look G2657 closely G2657. 33 But the LORD G2962 said G3004 to him, ‘[fn]REMOVE G3089 YOUR SANDALS G5266 FROM YOUR FEET G4228, FOR THE PLACE G5117 ON WHICH G3739 YOU ARE STANDING G2476 IS HOLY G40 GROUND G1093. 34 I HAVE CERTAINLY G3708 SEEN G3708 THE OPPRESSION G2561 OF MY PEOPLE G2992 WHO ARE IN EGYPT G125, AND HAVE HEARD G191 THEIR GROANING G4726, AND I HAVE COME G2597 DOWN G2597 TO RESCUE G1807 THEM; AND NOW G3568 COME G1204, I WILL SEND G649 YOU TO EGYPT G125.’
35 “This G3778 Moses G3475 whom G3739 they disowned G720, saying G3004, ‘WHO G5101 MADE G2525 YOU A RULER G758 AND A JUDGE G1348?’ is the one G3778 whom G3778 God G2316 [fn]sent G649 to be both G2532 a ruler G758 and a deliverer G3086 with the [fn]help G5495 of the angel G32 who appeared G3708 to him in the thorn G942 bush G942. 36 This G3778 man G3778 led G1806 them out G1806, performing G4160 wonders G5059 and [fn]signs G4592 in the land G1093 of Egypt G125 and in the Red G2063 Sea G2281, and in the wilderness G2048 for forty G5062 years G2094. 37 This G3778 is the Moses G3475 who said G3004 to the sons G5207 of Israel G2474, ‘GOD G2316 WILL RAISE G450 UP FOR YOU A PROPHET G4396 [fn]LIKE G5613 ME FROM YOUR COUNTRYMEN G80.’ 38 This G3778 is the one who was in the [fn]assembly G1577 in the wilderness G2048 together G3326 with the angel G32 who spoke G2980 to him at length on Mount G3735 Sinai G4614, and who was with our fathers G3962; and he received G1209 living G2198 words G3051 to pass G1325 on to you. 39 Our fathers G3962 were unwilling G3756 G2309 to be obedient G5255 to him; on G235 the G235 contrary G235 they rejected G683 him and turned G4762 back G4762 to Egypt G125 in their hearts G2588, 40 saying G3004 to Aaron G2, ‘MAKE G4160 US [fn]A GOD G2316 WHO G3739 WILL GO G4313 BEFORE G4313 US; FOR THIS G3778 MOSES G3475 WHO G3739 LED G1806 US OUT G1806 OF THE LAND G1093 OF EGYPT G125—WE DO NOT KNOW G6063 WHAT G5101 HAPPENED G1096 TO HIM.’ 41 [fn]At that time G2250 they made G3447 a G3447 [fn]calf G3447 and brought G321 a sacrifice G2378 to the idol G1497, and were rejoicing G2165 in the works G2041 of their hands G5495. 42 But God G2316 turned G4762 away G4762 and gave G3860 them over G3860 to [fn]serve G3000 the heavenly G3772 [fn]lights G4756; as it is written G1125 in the book G976 of the prophets G4396: ‘YOU DID NOT OFFER G4374 ME VICTIMS G4968 AND SACRIFICES G2378 FOR FORTY G5062 YEARS G2094 IN THE WILDERNESS G2048, DID YOU, HOUSE G3624 OF ISRAEL G2474? 43 YOU ALSO G2532 TOOK G353 ALONG G353 THE TABERNACLE G4633 OF MOLOCH G3434 AND THE STAR G798 OF YOUR GOD G2316 [fn]ROMPHA G4481, THE IMAGES G5179 WHICH G3739 YOU MADE G4160 TO WORSHIP G4352. I ALSO G2532 WILL DEPORT G3351 YOU BEYOND G1900 BABYLON G897.’
44 “Our fathers G3962 had G1510 the tabernacle G4633 of testimony G3142 in the wilderness G2048, just G2531 as G2531 He who spoke G2980 to Moses G3475 directed G1299 him to make G4160 it according G2596 to the pattern G5179 which G3739 he had seen G3708. 45 Our fathers G3962 in turn G1237 received G1237 it, and they also G2532 brought G1521 it in G1521 with Joshua G2424 upon dispossessing G2697 the [fn]nations G1484 that God G2316 drove G1856 out G1856 from G575 G4383 our fathers G3962, until G2193 the time G2250 of David G1138. 46 [fn]David found G2147 favor G5485 in G1799 God’s G2316 sight G1799, and asked G154 that he might [fn]find G2147 a dwelling G4638 place G4638 for the [fn]house G3624 of Jacob G2384. 47 But it was Solomon G4672 who built G3618 a house G3624 for Him. 48 However G235, the Most G5310 High G5310 does not dwell G2730 in houses made G5499 by G5499 human hands G5499; as the prophet G4396 says G3004:
49 ‘HEAVEN G3772 IS MY THRONE G2362,
AND THE EARTH G1093 IS THE FOOTSTOOL G5286 OF MY FEET G4228;
WHAT G4169 KIND G4169 OF HOUSE G3624 WILL YOU BUILD G3618 FOR ME?’ says G3004 the Lord G2962,
‘OR G2228 WHAT G5101 PLACE G5117 IS THERE FOR MY REST G2663?
50 ‘WAS IT NOT MY HAND G5495 THAT MADE G4160 ALL G3956 THESE G3778 THINGS G3778?’
51 “You men who are stiff-necked G4644 and uncircumcised G564 in heart G2588 and ears G3775 are always G104 resisting G496 the Holy G40 Spirit G4151; you are doing just G5613 as G5613 your fathers G3962 did. 52 Which G5101 one G5101 of the prophets G4396 did your fathers G3962 not persecute G1377? They killed G615 those G3588 who had previously G4293 announced G4293 the coming G1660 of the Righteous G1342 One G1342, and you have now G3568 become G1096 betrayers G4273 and murderers G5406 of Him; 53 you who G3748 received G2983 the Law G3551 as ordained G1296 by angels G32, and yet did not keep G5442 it.”
Stephen Put to Death
54 Now G1161 when they heard G191 this G3778, they were infuriated G1282 G2588, and they began gnashing G1031 their teeth G3599 at him.
55 But he, being G5225 full G4134 of the Holy G40 Spirit G4151, looked G816 intently G816 into heaven G3772 and saw G3708 the glory G1391 of God G2316, and Jesus G2424 standing G2476 at the right G1188 hand G1188 of God G2316; 56 and he said G3004, “Behold G2400, I see G2334 the heavens G3772 opened G1272 and the Son G5207 of Man G444 standing G2476 at the right G1188 hand G1188 of God G2316.” 57 But they shouted G2896 with loud G3173 voices G5456, and covered G4912 their ears G3775 and rushed G3729 at him with one G3661 [fn]mind G3661. 58 When they had driven G1544 him out G1544 of the city G4172, they began stoning G3036 him; and the witnesses G3144 laid G659 aside G659 their cloaks G2440 at the feet G4228 of a young G3494 man G3494 named G2564 Saul G4569. 59 They went on stoning G3036 Stephen G4736 as he called G1941 on G1941 the Lord and said G3004, “Lord G2962 Jesus G2424, receive G1209 my spirit G4151!” 60 Then G2532 he fell G5087 on his knees G1119 and cried G2896 out G2896 with a loud G3173 voice G5456, “Lord G2962, do not hold G2476 this G3778 sin G266 against them!” Having said G3004 this G3778, he [fn]fell G2837 asleep G2837.
