Jesus

this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;

and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'

And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them , they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;

they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,

every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news--Jesus the Christ.

for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;'

and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep, and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him--he having no child.

and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place.

`And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob--the twelve patriarchs;

and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush,

and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,

and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;

`This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush;

this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

`This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

`The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen;

and Solomon built Him an house.

`But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:

The heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what is the place of My rest?

hath not My hand made all these things?

and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.'

and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;'

and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.
