Acts 7:48-53 English Standard Version (ESV)

48. Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says,

49. “‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,or what is the place of my rest?

50. Did not my hand make all these things?’

51. “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

52. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

53. you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”
