Stephen Begins His Defense

Acts 7:1

Showing verse 1 with surrounding context.

The cohen hagadol asked, “Are these accusations true?”

and Stephen said: “Brothers and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to Avraham avinu in Mesopotamia before he lived in Haran

and said to him, ‘Leave your land and your family, and go into the land that I will show you.’

So he left the land of the Kasdim and lived in Haran. After his father died, God made him move to this land where you are living now.
