PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:
(Handelinge 7:51-60)
HULLE HET HOM UIT DIE STAD GESLEEP EN MET KLIPPE DOODGEGOOI:
51. “Julle hardkoppiges! In julle harte is julle nie-Jode. Julle is doof vir die Woord van God! Moet julle alewig die Heilige Gees weerstaan? Maar julle voorouers het dit gedoen, en julle doen dit nou ook!
52. “Noem een Profeet vir wie julle ouers nie vervolg het nie! Hulle het selfs dié doodgemaak wat die koms van die Regverdige voorspel het! – die Messias wat julle uitgelewer en vermoor het.
53. “Júlle het die Wet van God nie uitgeleef nie, alhoewel julle dit deur bemiddeling van engele ontvang het!”
54. Die Joodse leiers was woedend oor Stefanus se aanklag, en hulle het hulle woede gewys.
55. Maar Stefanus, vol van die Heilige Gees, het aanhou opkyk na die hemel, en die heerlikheid van God gesien. Hy het Jesus in die regeer-posisie reg langs God sien staan.
56. “Kyk,” het hy gesê: ek sien die hemel geopend en die Seun van die mens in die regeer-posisie reg langs God staan!”
57. Toe het hulle, hulle ore toegedruk en hom dood-geskreeu. Soos een man het hulle op hom afgestorm.
58. Hulle het hom uit die stad gesleep en hom met klippe doodgegooi. Die amptelike getuies het hulle klere uitgetrek, en by die voete van ‘n jong man, met die naam Saul neergesit.
59. Terwyl hulle besig was on Stefanus te stenig, het hy gebid: “Here Jesus, ontvang my gees!”
60. Hy het op sy knieë neergesak en hardop uitgeroep: “Here, moenie hierdie sonde teen hulle hou nie!” Met hierdie woorde, het hy gesterf.

THEY CAST HIM OUT OF THE CITY AND STONED HIM:
51. “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you!
52. “Which of the Prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, Whom you have betrayed and murdered!
53. “You who received the Law, as delivered by angels, and did not keep it.”
54. When they heard these things, they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.
55. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
56. And he said: “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God!”
57. But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed together at him.
58. Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59. And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
60. And falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, do not hold this against them!” And when he had said this, he fell asleep in death.

39. “Ons voorouers het hom egter geĩgnoreer, en hulle wou teruggegaan Egipte toe.
40. “Toe het hulle vir Aäron gesê: ‘Maak vir ons gode wat ons kan lei, want hierdie Moses wat ons uit Egipte uitgelei het – ons weet nie wat met hom gebeur het nie.’
41. “Hulle het toe ‘n kalf-afgodsbeeld gemaak, en aan hierdie afgod offers gebring. Hulle was baie ingenome met wat hulle gedoen het.
42. “Maar toe het God Sy rug op hulle gedraai en hulle laat begaan. Hulle het ook die son, die maan en die sterre as hulle gode gedien! So staan dit in die boek van die Profete geskryf: ‘+Was dit vir MY dat julle die offers gebring het, gedurende die 40 jaar in die woestyn, o Israel?
43. ‘+Nee! Julle het net oë en ore gehad vir julle afgode: Die heiligdom van Molek, en die stergod Refan, die beelde wat julle gemaak het om te aanbid. Daarom sal Ek julle as gevangenis ver weg stuur, tot anderkant Babilon.’+
44. “Ons voorgeslag het die tabernakel by hulle in die woestyn gehad. Die tabernakel is gemaak volgens die plan wat God aan Moses gewys het.
45. “Jare later toe Josua die gevegte aangevoer het, teen die volke wat God uit die land verdryf het, het hulle die tabernakel saamgeneem na hulle nuwe land toe. Daar is dit gebruik tot in die tyd van koning Dawid.
46. “Dawid het God se genade ervaar, en gevra vir die voorreg om ‘n tempel vir die huis van Jakob te bou.
47. “Dit was egter Salomo wat die tempel vir God gebou het.”
48. “Die Allerhoogste bly egter nie in mensgemaakte plekke nie. Soos die Profeet dit stel:
49. “‘+Die hemel is My troon, en die aarde is My voetbank. Enige tempel wat julle vir My bou, skiet ver tekort,’+ sê die Here. ‘+Kan julle ‘n blyplek vir My bou?
50. ‘+Het Ek nie Self al hierdie dinge gemaak nie?’+”

“I HAVE SEEN THE AFFLICTION OF MY PEOPLE IN EGYPT:”
Dinsdag 30 April 2024.
PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:
(Handelinge 7:31-38)
“EK HET DIE MISHANDELING VAN MY VOLK IN EGIPTE GESIEN:”
31. “Moses het dit gesien en gewonder wat aangaan. Toe hy nader gaan om dit te bekyk, kom die stem van die Here tot hom:
32. “‘+Ek is die God van jou voorvaders – die God van Abraham, Isak en Jakob.’+ Moses was so bang, dat hy gebewe het; en hy het dit nie gewaag om te kyk nie.
33. “En die Here het vir hom gesê: ‘+Trek jou sandale uit, want jy staan op gewyde grond.
34. “‘+Die mishandeling van my volk in Egipte het Ek inderdaad gesien. Ek het hulle hulpgeroep gehoor. Hier is Ek nou om hulle te red. Kom Ek stuur jou nou Egipte toe.’+
35. So, deur die engel wat in die brandende doringbos aan hom verskyn het, het God juis hóm as leier en redder na die Israeliete toe gestuur, dieselfde Moses vir wie die Israeliete verwerp het, en toegesnou het: ‘Wie het jou ons leier en regter gemaak?’
36. “So het dit gekom dat Moses hulle uitgelei het. Dit het gepaard gegaan met baie wonders en tekens wat hy oor die verloop van 40 jaar in Egipte, die Rooi See, en in die woestyn gedoen het.
37. “Hierdie selfde Moses het vir die volk Israel gesê: ‘God sal uit julle eie geledere vir julle ‘n Profeet soos ek laat voortkom.’
38. “Dis dieselfde Moses wat, toe die volk as gemeente daar in die woestyn was, as tussenganger opgetree het tussen ons voorouers en die engel wat op Sinai-berg met hom gepraat het. Hy het lewende woorde ontvang, om aan ons oor te dra.”

32. “‘+I Am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.’+ And Moses trembled and did not dare to look.
33. “Then the Lord said to him: ‘+Take off the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing, is holy ground.
34. “‘+I Have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and Have heard their groaning, and I Have come down to deliver them. And now come, I Will send you to Egypt.’+
35. “This Moses, whom they rejected, saying: ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’ – this man God sent as both ruler and redeemer, by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the burning bush.
36. “This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
37. “This is the Moses who said to the Israelites: ‘God Will raise up for you a Prophet like me, from your brothers.’
38. “This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us.”
