Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Acts 6
¹² And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.
¹³ They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law;

Acts 7

⁴ Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell.
⁵ And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.

⁷ ’And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge,’
