Note 6 topic: translate-textvariants
τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰακώβ
˱for˲_the house ˱of˲_Jacob
Some ancient manuscripts read “the house of Jacob.” ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the God of Jacob.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it has. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of ULT.
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰακώβ
˱for˲_the house ˱of˲_Jacob
Here, house means all the people descended from a particular person. It envisions them as if they were one household living together. So the house of Jacob means all the people descended from the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”
7:1-53 Stephen responded to the accusations by testifying about his Lord (cp. Luke 21:12-17). Instead of defending himself against their prosecution, he became a witness in God’s prosecution of them, exposing their stubbornness and unfaithfulness to God. Stephen’s recital of Israel’s past reminded them of their repeated rejections of those whom God had sent.
• Stephen’s review of Israel’s history has three principal parts, dealing with the work of the patriarchs (Acts 7:2-16), the ministry of Moses (7:17-43), and the role of the Tabernacle and the Temple (7:44-50). Stephen followed up his historical survey with a clear attack on the hard-heartedness of his own people. With a prophetic challenge, he urged them to stop rebelling against the Holy Spirit and turn to God with repentance and faith.
