This plan pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen. He was full of faith and of the Holy Spirit. Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon and Parmenas were chosen too. The group also chose Nicolas from Antioch. He had accepted the Jewish faith.

The Son is the shining brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact likeness of God’s being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.

Here is the main point of what we are saying. We have a high priest like that. He sat down at the right hand of the throne of the King, the Majesty in heaven.

All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this.

Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him.

God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.

Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim. It moved to the doorway of the temple. The cloud filled the temple. And the courtyard was full of the brightness of the glory of the Lord.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was seated on his throne. His long robe filled the temple. He was highly honored.Above him were seraphs. Each of them had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces. With two wings they covered their feet. And with two wings they were flying.They were calling out to one another. They were saying,“ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord who rules over all. The whole earth is full of his glory.”

Brothers and sisters, choose seven of your men. They must be known as men who are wise and full of the Holy Spirit. We will turn this important work over to them.

Saul was also known as Paul. He was filled with the Holy Spirit. He looked straight at Elymas. He said to him,“ You are a child of the devil! You are an enemy of everything that is right! You cheat people. You use all kinds of tricks. Won’t you ever stop twisting the right ways of the Lord?

After this I looked, and there in front of me was a door standing open in heaven. I heard the voice I had heard before. It sounded like a trumpet. The voice said,“ Come up here. I will show you what must happen after this.”At once the Holy Spirit gave me a vision. There in front of me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.The one who sat there shone like jasper and ruby. Around the throne was a rainbow shining like an emerald.

He stands ready to help those who need it. He saves them from those who are ready to sentence them to death.The Lord says to my lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.”

Only God knows. But I do know thathe was taken up to paradise. He heard things there that couldn’t be put into words. They were things that no one is allowed to talk about.

It shone with the glory of God. It gleamed like a very valuable jewel. It was like a jasper, as clear as crystal.

Above the space over their heads was something that looked like a throne made out of lapis lazuli. On the throne high above was a figure that appeared to be a man.From his waist up he looked like glowing metal that was full of fire. From his waist down he looked like fire.
