¶ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

  2. Acts 7:2–53Rank 2 from verse 17
    Open

    2And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

    3And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

    4Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

    5And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

    6And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

    7And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

    8And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

    9And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,

    10And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

    11Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

    12But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.

    13And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

    14Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

    15So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

    16And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

    17But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

    18Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

    19The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.

    20In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:

    21And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

    22And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

    23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

    24And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

    25For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

    26And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

    27But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

    28Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

    29Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

    30And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.

    31When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,

    32Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

    33Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

    34I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

    35This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

    36He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

    37¶ This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

    38This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

    39To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

    40Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

    41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

    42Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

    43Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

    44Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

    45Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

    46Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

    47But Solomon built him an house.

    48Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

    49Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

    50Hath not my hand made all these things?

    51¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

    52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

    53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

    10¶ But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

    11Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

    12That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

    13That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

    14As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

    23And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
