1. And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?`
|
1. Then G1161 said G2036 the G3588 high priest G749 G1487 G686 , Are G2192 these G5023 things so G3779 ?
|
|
2. and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,
|
2. And G1161 he G3588 said G5346 , Men G435 , brethren G80 , and G2532 fathers G3962 , hearken G191 ; The G3588 God G2316 of glory G1391 appeared G3700 unto our G2257 father G3962 Abraham G11 , when he was G5607 in G1722 Mesopotamia G3318 , before G4250 G2228 he G846 dwelt G2730 in G1722 Haran G5488 ,
|
|
3. and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee.
|
3. And G2532 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Get G1831 thee out of G1537 thy G4675 country G1093 , and G2532 from G1537 thy G4675 kindred G4772 , and G2532 come G1204 into G1519 the land G1093 which G3739 G302 I shall show G1166 thee G4671 .
|
|
4. `Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell,
|
4. Then G5119 came G1831 he out of G1537 the land G1093 of the Chaldeans G5466 , and dwelt G2730 in G1722 Haran G5488 : and from thence G2547 , when his G846 father G3962 was dead G599 , he removed G3351 him G846 into G1519 this G5026 land G1093 , wherein G1519 G3739 ye G5210 now G3568 dwell G2730 .
|
|
5. 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.
|
5. And G2532 he gave G1325 him G846 none G3756 inheritance G2817 in G1722 it, no G846 , not G3761 so much as to set his foot on G968 G4228 : yet G2532 he promised G1861 that he would give G1325 it G846 to him G846 for G1519 a possession G2697 , and G2532 to his G846 seed G4690 after G3326 him G846 , when as yet he G846 had G5607 no G3756 child G5043 .
|
|
6. `And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,
|
6. And G1161 God G2316 spake G2980 on this wise G3779 , That G3754 his G846 seed G4690 should G2071 sojourn G3941 in G1722 a strange G245 land G1093 ; and G2532 that they should bring them into bondage G1402 G846 , and G2532 entreat them evil G2559 four hundred G5071 years G2094 .
|
|
7. 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.
|
7. And G2532 the G3588 nation G1484 to whom G3739 they shall G1437 be in bondage G1398 will I G1473 judge G2919 , said G2036 God G2316 : and G2532 after G3326 that G5023 shall they come forth G1831 , and G2532 serve G3000 me G3427 in G1722 this G5129 place G5117 .
|
|
8. `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;
|
8. And G2532 he gave G1325 him G846 the covenant G1242 of circumcision G4061 : and G2532 so G3779 Abraham begat G1080 Isaac G2464 , and G2532 circumcised G4059 him G846 the G3588 eighth G3590 day G2250 ; and G2532 Isaac G2464 begat Jacob G2384 ; and G2532 Jacob G2384 begat the G3588 twelve G1427 patriarchs G3966 .
|
|
9. and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him,
|
9. And G2532 the G3588 patriarchs G3966 , moved with envy G2206 , sold G591 Joseph G2501 into G1519 Egypt G125 : but G2532 God G2316 was G2258 with G3326 him G846 ,
|
|
10. and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did set him -- governor over Egypt and all his house.
|
10. And G2532 delivered G1807 him G846 out of G1537 all G3956 his G846 afflictions G2347 , and G2532 gave G1325 him G846 favor G5485 and G2532 wisdom G4678 in the sight G1726 of Pharaoh G5328 king G935 of Egypt G125 ; and G2532 he made G2525 him G846 governor G2233 over G1909 Egypt G125 and G2532 all G3650 his G848 house G3624 .
|
|
11. `And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance,
|
11. Now G1161 there came G2064 a dearth G3042 over G1909 all G3650 the G3588 land G1093 of Egypt G125 and G2532 Canaan G5477 , and G2532 great G3173 affliction G2347 : and G2532 our G2257 fathers G3962 found G2147 no G3756 sustenance G5527 .
|
|
12. and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent forth our fathers a first time;
|
12. But G1161 when Jacob G2384 heard G191 that there was G5607 corn G4621 in G1722 Egypt G125 , he sent out G1821 our G2257 fathers G3962 first G4412 .
|
|
13. and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph`s kindred became manifest to Pharaoh,
|
13. And G2532 at G1722 the G3588 second G1208 time Joseph G2501 was made known G319 to his G848 brethren G80 ; and G2532 Joseph G2501 's kindred G1085 was made G1096 known G5318 unto Pharaoh G5328 .
|
|
14. and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and all his kindred -- with seventy and five souls --
|
14. Then G1161 sent G649 Joseph G2501 , and called G3333 his G848 father G3962 Jacob G2384 to him, and G2532 all G3956 his G848 kindred G4772 , threescore and fifteen G1440 G4002 souls G5590 .
|
|
15. and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our fathers,
|
15. So G1161 Jacob G2384 went down G2597 into G1519 Egypt G125 , and G2532 died G5053 , he G846 , and G2532 our G2257 fathers G3962 ,
|
|
16. and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem.
|
16. And G2532 were carried over G3346 into G1519 Shechem G4966 , and G2532 laid G5087 in G1722 the G3588 sepulcher G3418 that G3739 Abraham G11 bought G5608 for a sum G5092 of money G694 of G3844 the G3588 sons G5207 of Hamor G1697 the father of Shechem G4966 .
|
|
17. `And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
|
17. But G1161 when G2531 the G3588 time G5550 of the G3588 promise G1860 drew nigh G1448 , which G3739 God G2316 had sworn G3660 to Abraham G11 , the G3588 people G2992 grew G837 and G2532 multiplied G4129 in G1722 Egypt G125 ,
|
|
18. till another king rose, who had not known Joseph;
|
18. Till G891 G3757 another G2087 king G935 arose G450 , which G3739 knew G1492 not G3756 Joseph G2501 .
|
|
19. this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;
|
19. The same G3778 dealt subtlely with G2686 our G2257 kindred G1085 , and evil entreated G2559 our G2257 fathers G3962 , so that they cast out G4160 G1570 their G846 young children G1025 , to the end they might not G3361 live G2225 .
|
|
20. in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father;
|
20. In G1722 which G3739 time G2540 Moses G3475 was born G1080 , and G2532 was G2258 exceeding fair G791 , and G2532 nourished up G397 in G1722 his G848 father G3962 's house G3624 three G5140 months G3376 :
|
|
21. and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son;
|
21. And G1161 when he G846 was cast out G1620 , Pharaoh G5328 's daughter G2364 took him up G337 G846 , and G2532 nourished G397 him G846 for G1519 her own G1438 son G5207 .
|
|
22. and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works.
|
22. And G2532 Moses G3475 was learned G3811 in all G3956 the wisdom G4678 of the Egyptians G124 , and G1161 was G2258 mighty G1415 in G1722 words G3056 and G2532 in G1722 deeds G2041 .
|
|
23. `And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel;
|
23. And G1161 when G5613 he G846 was full G4137 forty G5063 years old G5550 , it came G305 into G1909 his G846 heart G2588 to visit G1980 his G848 brethren G80 the G3588 children G5207 of Israel G2474 .
|
|
24. and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian;
|
24. And G2532 seeing G1492 one G5100 of them suffer wrong G91 , he defended G292 him, and G2532 avenged G4160 G1557 him that was oppressed G2669 , and smote G3960 the G3588 Egyptian G124 :
|
|
25. and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not understand.
|
25. For G1161 he supposed G3543 his G848 brethren G80 would have understood G4920 how that G3754 God G2316 by G1223 his G846 hand G5495 would deliver G1325 G4991 them G846 : but G1161 they G3588 understood G4920 not G3756 .
|
|
26. `On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another?
|
26. And G5037 the G3588 next G1966 day G2250 he showed himself G3700 unto them G846 as they strove G3164 , and G2532 would have set them at one again G4900 G846 G1519 G1515 , saying G2036 , Sirs G435 , ye G5210 are G2075 brethren G80 ; why G2444 do ye wrong G91 one to another G240 ?
|
|
27. and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us?
|
27. But G1161 he that did his neighbor wrong G91 G4139 thrust him away G683 G846 , saying G2036 , Who G5101 made G2525 thee G4571 a ruler G758 and G2532 a judge G1348 over G1909 us G2248 ?
|
|
28. to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian?
|
28. Wilt G2309 G3361 thou G4771 kill G337 me G3165 , as thou didst G3739 G5158 G337 the G3588 Egyptian G124 yesterday G5504 ?
|
|
29. `And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons,
|
29. Then G1161 fled G5343 Moses G3475 at G1722 this G5129 saying G3056 , and G2532 was G1096 a stranger G3941 in G1722 the land G1093 of Midian G3099 , where G3757 he begat G1080 two G1417 sons G5207 .
|
|
30. 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,
|
30. And G2532 when forty G5062 years G2094 were expired G4137 , there appeared G3700 to him G846 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 of mount G3735 Sinai G4614 an angel G32 of the Lord G2962 in G1722 a flame G5395 of fire G4442 in a bush G942 .
|
|
31. and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him,
|
31. When G1161 Moses G3475 saw G1492 it, he wondered G2296 at the G3588 sight G3705 : and G1161 as he G846 drew near G4334 to behold G2657 it, the voice G5456 of the Lord G2962 came G1096 unto G4314 him G846 ,
|
|
32. I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold,
|
32. Saying, I G1473 am the G3588 God G2316 of thy G4675 fathers G3962 , the G3588 God G2316 of Abraham G11 , and G2532 the G3588 God G2316 of Isaac G2464 , and G2532 the G3588 God G2316 of Jacob G2384 . Then G1161 Moses G3475 trembled G1096 G1790 , and durst G5111 not G3756 behold G2657 .
|
|
33. and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground;
|
33. Then G1161 said G2036 the G3588 Lord G2962 to him G846 , Put off G3089 thy shoes G5266 from thy G4675 feet G4228 : for G1063 the G3588 place G5117 where G1722 G3739 thou standest G2476 is G2076 holy G40 ground G1093 .
|
|
34. seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt.
|
34. I have seen G1492 , I have seen G1492 the G3588 affliction G2561 of my G3450 people G2992 which G3588 is in G1722 Egypt G125 , and G2532 I have heard G191 their G846 groaning G4726 , and G2532 am come down G2597 to deliver G1807 them G846 . And G2532 now G3568 come G1204 , I will send G649 thee G4571 into G1519 Egypt G125 .
|
|
35. `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;
|
35. This G5126 Moses G3475 whom G3739 they refused G720 , saying G2036 , Who G5101 made G2525 thee G4571 a ruler G758 and G2532 a judge G1348 ? the same G5126 did God G2316 send G649 to be a ruler G758 and G2532 a deliverer G3086 by G1722 the hand G5495 of the angel G32 which appeared G3700 to him G846 in G1722 the G3588 bush G942 .
|
|
36. this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years;
|
36. He G3778 brought them out G1806 G846 , after that he had showed G4160 wonders G5059 and G2532 signs G4592 in G1722 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 , and G2532 in G1722 the Red G2063 sea G2281 , and G2532 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 forty G5062 years G2094 .
|
|
37. 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.
|
37. This G3778 is G2076 that Moses G3475 , which said G2036 unto the G3588 children G5207 of Israel G2474 , A prophet G4396 shall the Lord G2962 your G5216 God G2316 raise up G450 unto you G5213 of G1537 your G5216 brethren G80 , like unto G5613 me G1691 ; him G846 shall ye hear G191 .
|
|
38. `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;
|
38. This G3778 is G2076 he , that was G1096 in G1722 the G3588 church G1577 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 with G3326 the G3588 angel G32 which spake G2980 to him G846 in G1722 the G3588 mount G3735 Sinai G4614 , and G2532 with our G2257 fathers G3962 : who G3739 received G1209 the lively G2198 oracles G3051 to give G1325 unto us G2254 :
|
|
39. to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
|
39. To whom G3739 our G2257 fathers G3962 would G2309 not G3756 obey G1096 G5255 , but G235 thrust him from G683 them, and G2532 in their G848 hearts G2588 turned back again G4762 into G1519 Egypt G125 ,
|
|
40. saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him.
|
40. Saying G2036 unto Aaron G2 , Make G4160 us G2254 gods G2316 to G3739 go before G4313 us G2257 : for G1063 as for this G3778 Moses G3475 , which G3739 brought G1806 us G2248 out of G1537 the land G1093 of Egypt G125 , we wot G1492 not G3756 what G5101 is become G1096 of him G846 .
|
|
41. `And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands,
|
41. And G2532 they made a calf G3447 in G1722 those G1565 days G2250 , and G2532 offered G321 sacrifice G2378 unto the G3588 idol G1497 , and G2532 rejoiced G2165 in G1722 the G3588 works G2041 of their own G848 hands G5495 .
|
|
42. 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?
|
42. Then G1161 God G2316 turned G4762 , and G2532 gave them up G3860 G846 to worship G3000 the G3588 host G4756 of heaven G3772 ; as G2531 it is written G1125 in G1722 the book G976 of the G3588 prophets G4396 , O ye house G3624 of Israel G2474 , have ye G3361 offered G4374 to me G3427 slain beasts G4968 and G2532 sacrifices G2378 by the space of forty G5062 years G2094 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 ?
|
|
43. and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan -- the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon.
|
43. Yea G2532 , ye took up G353 the G3588 tabernacle G4633 of Moloch G3434 , and G2532 the G3588 star G798 of your G5216 god G2316 Remphan G4481 , figures G5179 which G3739 ye made G4160 to worship G4352 them G846 : and G2532 I will carry you away G3351 G5209 beyond G1900 Babylon G897 .
|
|
44. `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;
|
44. Our G2257 fathers G3962 had G2258 the G3588 tabernacle G4633 of witness G3142 in G1722 the G3588 wilderness G2048 , as he had appointed G1299 , speaking G2980 unto Moses G3475 , that he should make G4160 it G846 according G2596 to the G3588 fashion G5179 that G3739 he had seen G3708 .
|
|
45. which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David,
|
45. Which G3739 also G2532 our G2257 fathers G3962 that came after G1237 brought in G1521 with G3326 Joshua G2424 into G1722 the G3588 possession G2697 of the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , whom G3739 God G2316 drove out G1856 before G575 the face G4383 of our G2257 fathers G3962 , unto G2193 the G3588 days G2250 of David G1138 ;
|
|
46. who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob;
|
46. Who G3739 found G2147 favor G5485 before G1799 God G2316 , and G2532 desired G154 to find G2147 a tabernacle G4638 for the G3588 God G2316 of Jacob G2384 .
|
|
47. and Solomon built Him an house.
|
47. But G1161 Solomon G4672 built G3618 him G846 a house G3624 .
|
|
48. `But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith:
|
48. Howbeit G235 the G3588 most High G5310 dwelleth G2730 not G3756 in G1722 temples G3485 made with hands G5499 ; as G2531 saith G3004 the G3588 prophet G4396 ,
|
|
49. 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?
|
49. Heaven G3772 is my G3427 throne G2362 , and G1161 earth G1093 is my G3450 footstool G5286 G4228 : what G4169 house G3624 will ye build G3618 me G3427 ? saith G3004 the Lord G2962 : or G2228 what G5101 is the place G5117 of my G3450 rest G2663 ?
|
|
50. hath not My hand made all these things?
|
50. Hath not G3780 my G3450 hand G5495 made G4160 all G3956 these things G5023 ?

|
|
56. and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.`
|
56. And G2532 said G2036 , Behold G2400 , I see G2334 the G3588 heavens G3772 opened G455 , and G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 standing G2476 on G1537 the right hand G1188 of God G2316 .

58. and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning him -- and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul --
|
58. And G2532 cast G1544 him out G1854 of the G3588 city G4172 , and stoned G3036 him : and G2532 the G3588 witnesses G3144 laid down G659 their G848 clothes G2440 at G3844 a young man G3494 's feet G4228 , whose name G2564 was Saul G4569 .
|
|
59. and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;`
