Acts 7:53 in Context — Acts 7

51 Hommes au cou raide, incirconcis de cœur et d’oreilles! Vous vous opposez toujours au Saint-Esprit. Ce que vos pères ont été, vous l’êtes aussi.

52 Lequel des prophètes vos pères n’ont-ils pas persécuté? Ils ont tué ceux qui annonçaient d’avance la venue du Juste, que vous avez livré maintenant, et dont vous avez été les meurtriers,

53 vous qui avez reçu la loi d’après des commandements d’anges, et qui ne l’avez point gardée!…

54 En entendant ces paroles, ils étaient furieux dans leur cœur, et ils grinçaient des dents contre lui.

55 Mais Étienne, rempli du Saint-Esprit, et fixant les regards vers le ciel, vit la gloire de Dieu et Jésus debout à la droite de Dieu.
