00:01.720 --> 00:05.120
Then said the high priest, Are these
things so?

00:05.360 --> 00:08.440
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers,
hearken!

00:09.000 --> 00:13.240
The God of glory appeared unto our father
Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia,

00:13.580 --> 00:17.800
before he dwelt in Charon, and said unto
him, Get thee out of thy country,

00:18.120 --> 00:21.120
and from thy kindred, and come into the
land which I shall show thee.

00:21.900 --> 00:25.080
Then came he out of the land of the
Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charon.

00:25.080 --> 00:30.260
And from thence, when his father was dead,
he removed him into this land wherein ye

00:30.260 --> 00:30.840
now dwell.

00:31.800 --> 00:35.900
And he gave him none inheritance in it,
no, not so much as to set his foot on.

00:36.400 --> 00:41.420
Yet he promised that he would give it to
him for a possession, and to his seed

00:41.420 --> 00:44.500
after him, when as yet he had no child.

00:46.060 --> 00:50.880
And God spake on this wise, That his seed
should sojourn in a strange land,

00:51.260 --> 00:55.360
and that they should bring them into
bondage, and entreat them evil four

00:55.360 --> 00:56.180
hundred years.

00:57.080 --> 01:00.180
And the nation to whom they shall be in
bondage will I judge, said God.

01:00.920 --> 01:04.440
And after that shall they come forth,
and serve me in this place.

01:05.160 --> 01:07.240
And he gave him the covenant of
circumcision.

01:07.960 --> 01:11.640
And so Abraham begat Isaac, and
circumcised him the eighth day.

01:12.280 --> 01:15.480
And Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat the
twelve patriarchs.

01:15.960 --> 01:20.080
And the patriarchs, moved with envy,
sold Joseph into Egypt.

01:20.080 --> 01:25.280
But God was with him, and delivered him
out of all his afflictions, and gave him

01:25.280 --> 01:28.040
favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh
king of Egypt.

01:28.600 --> 01:31.540
And he made him governor over Egypt,
and all his house.

01:32.620 --> 01:37.220
Now there came a dearth over all the land
of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction,

01:37.800 --> 01:39.720
and our fathers found no sustenance.

01:40.520 --> 01:44.600
But when Jacob heard that there was corn
in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

01:45.360 --> 01:49.500
And at the second time, Joseph was made
known to his brethren, and Joseph's

01:49.500 --> 01:51.260
kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

01:52.180 --> 01:56.280
Then sent Joseph, and called his father
Jacob to him, and all his kindred,

01:56.600 --> 01:58.380
threescore and fifteen souls.

01:59.240 --> 02:04.100
So Jacob went down into Egypt,
and died, he and our fathers, and were

02:04.100 --> 02:08.000
carried over into Sycam, and laid in the
sepulcher that Abraham bought for a sum of

02:08.000 --> 02:10.440
money, of the sons of Emor the father of
Sycam.

02:11.280 --> 02:15.280
But when the time of the promise drew
nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham,

02:15.860 --> 02:20.800
the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
till another king arose, which knew not

02:20.800 --> 02:21.120
Joseph.

02:21.880 --> 02:26.420
The same dealt subtly with our kindred,
and evil entreated our fathers,

02:26.840 --> 02:30.180
so that they cast out their young children
to the end they might not live.

02:31.080 --> 02:36.660
In which time Moses was born, and was
exceeding fair, and nourished up in his

02:36.660 --> 02:37.920
father's house three months.

02:38.520 --> 02:43.180
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's
daughter took him up, and nourished him

02:43.180 --> 02:44.160
for her own son.

02:45.200 --> 02:49.780
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of
the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and

02:49.780 --> 02:50.260
in deeds.

02:51.000 --> 02:55.160
And when he was full forty years old,
it came into his heart to visit his

02:55.160 --> 02:56.420
brethren, the children of Israel.

02:57.240 --> 03:01.580
And seeing one of them suffer wrong,
he defended him, and avenged him that was

03:01.580 --> 03:02.980
oppressed, and smote the Egyptian.

03:03.860 --> 03:08.780
For he supposed his brethren would have
understood how that God by his hand would

03:08.780 --> 03:09.300
deliver them.

03:09.900 --> 03:11.480
But they understood not.

03:12.500 --> 03:16.640
And the next day he showed himself unto
them as they strove, and would have set

03:16.640 --> 03:21.940
them at one again, saying, Sirs,
ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one to

03:21.940 --> 03:22.200
another?

03:23.140 --> 03:28.080
But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust
him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler

03:28.080 --> 03:29.120
and a judge over us?

03:30.000 --> 03:33.240
Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the
Egyptian yesterday?

03:35.200 --> 03:39.440
Then fled Moses at this saying,
and was a stranger in the land of Midian,

03:39.520 --> 03:40.800
where he beget two sons.

03:41.640 --> 03:44.780
And when forty years were expired,
there appeared to him in the wilderness of

03:44.780 --> 03:49.120
Mount Sinai an angel of the Lord,
in a flame of fire in a bush.

03:50.460 --> 03:54.980
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the
sight, and as he drew near to behold it,

03:55.040 --> 03:59.420
the voice of the Lord came unto him,
saying, I am the God of thy fathers,

04:00.080 --> 04:03.540
the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.

04:04.560 --> 04:07.440
Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

04:08.520 --> 04:13.820
Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy
shoes from thy feet, for the place where

04:13.820 --> 04:15.460
thou standest is holy ground.

04:16.580 --> 04:22.340
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of
my people which is in Egypt, and I have

04:22.340 --> 04:25.020
heard their groaning, and am come down to
deliver them.

04:25.640 --> 04:29.380
And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

04:30.180 --> 04:35.060
This Moses, whom they refused,
saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge?

04:35.680 --> 04:41.200
The same did God send to be a ruler and a
deliverer by the hand of the angel which

04:41.200 --> 04:42.280
appeared to him in the bush.

04:43.160 --> 04:44.220
He brought them out.

04:44.940 --> 04:49.260
After that he had showed wonders and signs
in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea,

04:49.660 --> 04:51.400
and in the wilderness forty years.

04:53.100 --> 04:57.760
This is that Moses which said unto the
children of Israel, A prophet shall the

04:57.760 --> 05:01.560
Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me.

05:02.420 --> 05:03.880
Him shall ye hear.

05:05.160 --> 05:10.000
This is he that was in the church in the
wilderness, with the angel which spake to

05:10.000 --> 05:15.160
him at the Mount Sinai, and with our
fathers, who received the lively oracles

05:15.160 --> 05:21.700
to give unto us, to whom our fathers would
not obey, but thrust him from them,

05:22.180 --> 05:27.880
and in their hearts turned back again into
Egypt, saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to

05:27.880 --> 05:32.020
go before us, for as for this Moses,
which brought us out of the land of Egypt,

05:32.180 --> 05:33.840
we want not what is become of him.

05:35.140 --> 05:39.200
And they made a calf in those days,
and offered sacrifice unto the idol,

05:39.740 --> 05:42.340
and rejoiced in the works of their own
hands.

05:44.000 --> 05:49.880
Then God turned and gave them up to
worship the host of heaven, as it is

05:49.880 --> 05:54.760
written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to

05:54.760 --> 05:59.020
me slain beasts and sacrifices by the
space of forty years in the wilderness?

06:00.260 --> 06:04.860
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
and the star of your god Ramphan,

06:05.740 --> 06:12.440
figures which ye made to worship them,
and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

06:13.620 --> 06:17.760
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness
in the wilderness, as he had appointed,

06:18.040 --> 06:21.380
speaking unto Moses, that he should make
it according to the fashion that he had

06:21.380 --> 06:21.680
seen.

06:22.720 --> 06:27.320
Which also our fathers that came after
brought in with Jesus into the possession

06:27.320 --> 06:31.800
of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before
the face of our fathers unto the days of

06:31.800 --> 06:36.560
David, who found favor before God,
and desired to find a tabernacle for the

06:36.560 --> 06:37.180
God of Jacob.

06:37.880 --> 06:39.400
But Solomon built him an house.

06:40.760 --> 06:45.500
Howbeit, the Most High dwelleth not in
temples made with hands, as saith the

06:45.500 --> 06:48.940
prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is
my footstool.

06:48.940 --> 06:51.300
What house will ye build me, saith the
Lord?

06:51.940 --> 06:53.360
Or what is the place of my rest?

06:54.040 --> 06:55.600
Hath not my hand made all these things?

06:56.400 --> 07:02.860
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart
and ears, ye do always resist the Holy

07:02.860 --> 07:03.220
Ghost.

07:03.640 --> 07:05.880
As your fathers did, so do ye.

07:06.720 --> 07:09.300
Which of the prophets have not your
fathers persecuted?

07:09.960 --> 07:13.700
And they have slain them which showed
before of the coming of the just one,

07:14.060 --> 07:17.680
of whom ye have been now the betrayers and
murderers.

07:18.300 --> 07:23.460
Who have received the law by the
disposition of angels, and have not kept

07:23.460 --> 07:23.700
it?

07:24.560 --> 07:28.780
When they heard these things, they were
cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him

07:28.780 --> 07:29.420
with their teeth.

07:30.060 --> 07:34.820
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost,
looked up steadfastly into heaven,

07:35.340 --> 07:40.000
and saw the glory of God, and Jesus
standing on the right hand of God,

07:40.080 --> 07:46.000
and said, Behold, I see the heavens
opened, and the Son of Man standing on the

07:46.000 --> 07:46.880
right hand of God.

07:46.880 --> 07:51.540
Then they cried out with a loud voice,
and stopped their ears, and ran upon him

07:51.540 --> 07:55.860
with one accord, and cast him out of the
city, and stoned him.

07:56.600 --> 08:01.620
And the witnesses laid down their clothes
at a young man's feet, whose name was

08:01.620 --> 08:01.940
Saul.

08:02.780 --> 08:08.880
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God,
and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

08:09.060 --> 08:16.540
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud
voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their

08:16.540 --> 08:17.040
charge.

08:17.680 --> 08:20.180
And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
