1Then the high priest was like, "Are these things true, fam?"

2He said, "Yo, fam, listen up; the God of glory showed up to our dude Abraham when he was chillin' in Mesopotamia, way before he hit up Charran."

3And God was like, "Dip outta your country and your fam, and I’ll show you a land that’s lit."

4So he bounced from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Charran; then after his pops passed, he moved to this land where you guys are vibin' now.

5God didn’t give him any land to call his own, not even a spot to put his foot, but he promised it to him and his future fam, even though he had no kids yet.

6God said that his fam would be in a sus land for a minute, and they'd be treated poorly for four hundred years.

7And God was like, "I’ll judge the nation that puts them in bondage, and after that, they’ll bounce out and serve me here."

8He gave him the covenant of circumcision, so Abraham had Isaac, and on the eighth day he got him circumcised; then Isaac had Jacob, and Jacob had the twelve patriarchs.

9The patriarchs were mad jealous and sold Joseph into Egypt, but God was totally with him.

10He got him out of all his struggles and showed him mad favor and wisdom in Pharaoh's eyes; Pharaoh made him the governor over Egypt and his whole crew.

11So there was a major food shortage in Egypt and Chanaan, and our fam was struggling, no cap.

12But when Jacob heard there was corn in Egypt, he was like, "Bet, let’s send our fam first."

13Then the second time, Joseph popped off and revealed himself to his bros; Pharaoh got to know Joseph's crew.

14Joseph hit up his dad Jacob and all his fam, bringing 75 souls to chill with him.

15So Jacob dipped to Egypt and passed away, along with our ancestors, fr.

16They were taken to Sychem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for some cash from Emmor’s fam.

17When the promise time was close, the people grew and vibed hard in Egypt, no cap.

18Then a new king came in who didn’t know Joseph, and that was sus.

19This king was savage to our fam, treating them bad and even making them throw out their kids so they wouldn’t survive.

20During this time, Moses was born, and he was super cute, raised in his dad's house for three months.

21So, when he got kicked out, Pharaoh's daughter scooped him up and raised him like her own kid. Total vibe.

22Moses was straight-up educated in all the Egyptian wisdom and had mad skills in speech and action. Goated.

23Fast forward, at 40, he felt it in his heart to check on his peeps, the Israelites.

24He saw one of them getting messed up, so he stepped in, defended him, and took out the Egyptian. Savage!

25He thought his crew would get that God was using him to save them, but they were totally clueless. No cap.

26The next day, he tried to break up a fight, saying, "Yo, you’re brothers! Why you beefing?"

27But the dude who was causing drama pushed him away, saying, "Who made you the boss over us?"

28"You gonna off me like you did the Egyptian yesterday?"

29So, Moses dipped after that and ended up in Midian, where he had two sons.

30After 40 years, he saw an angel of the Lord in the wilderness on Mount Sinai, all fiery in a bush. Lit!

31When Moses peeped it, he was shook by the sight: and as he got closer, the voice of the Lord hit him,

32Saying, I’m the God of your fam, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses was trembling, no cap, couldn’t even look.

33Then the Lord was like, Take off your kicks, fam: this spot is straight-up holy ground.

34I’ve seen, I’ve seen the struggle of my peeps in Egypt, and I heard their cries, so I’m here to save them. Now come, I’m sending you to Egypt.

35This Moses they were dissing, saying, Who made you boss? God sent him to be a leader and a savior through the angel that showed up in the bush.

36He brought them out after flexing wonders and signs in Egypt, the Red Sea, and in the desert for forty years.

37This is that Moses, who told the Israelites, A prophet will pop up that the Lord your God raises from your fam, you gotta listen to him.

38This is he, chilling in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our ancestors: who got the fresh word to pass down to us:

39Our ancestors weren’t vibing with him, but pushed him away, and in their hearts, they were like, let’s go back to Egypt.

40Saying to Aaron, Make us some gods to lead us: because this Moses who got us outta Egypt? We don’t even know what happened to him.

41They straight up made a calf back then, sacrificed to the idol, and were vibing off their own creations.

42Then God was like, "Bet," and let them worship the heavenly squad; as the prophets said, "Yo, Israel, did you really offer me sacrifices for forty years in the desert?"

43For real, y’all picked up Moloch’s tent and the star of your god Remphan, stuff you made to worship: and I'm taking you beyond Babylon, no cap.

44Our ancestors had the witness tent in the wilderness, just like God told Moses to make it, keeping it 100 with the design he showed him.

45The fam that came after brought it in with Jesus to the Gentiles’ land, the same place God kicked out before our ancestors, all the way to David’s time.

46Who found favor with God and wanted to build a spot for the God of Jacob, fr.

47But Solomon was the one who built Him a house, no cap.

48But the most High doesn’t chill in temples made by human hands; as the prophet said, periodt.

49Heaven’s my throne, and Earth’s my footstool; what house you gonna build for me? said the Lord: or where’s my chill spot?

50Didn’t my hand make all this stuff?

51Y'all are so stubborn and uncircumcised in heart and ears, always resisting the Holy Ghost like your fam did, no cap.

52Which prophets didn’t your peeps vibe check? They took out the ones who spoke about the Just One, and now you’re the betrayers and murderers, fr.

53You got the law from angels, but you ain’t even kept it, that’s sus.

54When they heard this, it hit different, and they were grinding their teeth at him.

55But he, filled with the Holy Ghost, looked up to heaven and peeped the glory of God, with Jesus chilling on the right side, goated.

56He said, "Yo, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man just vibing on the right hand of God."

57Then they shouted loud, plugged their ears, and rushed at him like a squad, savage.

58They dragged him outta the city and threw stones at him, and the witnesses dropped their fits at a young dude named Saul.

59They stoned Stephen, calling out to God, saying, "Lord Jesus, take my spirit."

60He knelt down and shouted loud, "Lord, don’t hold this sin against them." Then he fell asleep, periodt.

1Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

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 Chaldeans, 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.

37This 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?

51Ye 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.

54When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

58And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.

59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
