46Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
— Acts 7:47 —
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?
