Then they began to attack him with their words.“ You are this fellow’s disciple!” they said.“ We are disciples of Moses!

他们就骂他说：“你是他的门徒；我们是摩西的门徒。

眾詬之曰、爾乃其徒、我儕摩西徒也、

眾詈之曰、爾乃其門徒、我儕則摩西之門徒、

彼等詈曰：『汝乃斯人之徒、而吾輩則摩西之徒也。

Then they hurled insults at him and said,“ You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!

And they reviled him, saying,“ You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Then they cursed him and said,“ You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

They ridiculed him:“ You’re that man’s disciple, but we’re Moses’s disciples.

They spoke abusively to him and said,“ You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

Suppose you call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law. You brag that you know God.

“ You mean he has fooled you also?” the Pharisees asked.“ Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him?No! But this mob knows nothing about the law. There is a curse on them.”Then Nicodemus, a Pharisee, spoke. He was the one who had gone to Jesus earlier. He asked,“ Does our law find a man guilty without hearing him first? Doesn’t it want to find out what he is doing?”They replied,“ Are you from Galilee too? Look into it. You will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

Then in secret they talked some men into lying about Stephen. They said,“ We heard Stephen speak evil things against Moses and against God.”So the people were stirred up. The elders and the teachers of the law were stirred up too. They arrested Stephen and brought him to the Sanhedrin.They found witnesses who were willing to tell lies. These liars said,“ This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place. He also speaks against the law.We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place. He says Jesus will change the practices that Moses handed down to us.”

“ Do not think I will bring charges against you in front of the Father. Moses is the one who does that. And he is the one you build your hopes on.Do you believe Moses? Then you should believe me. He wrote about me.But you do not believe what he wrote. So how are you going to believe what I say?”

We work hard with our own hands. When others curse us, we bless them. When we are attacked, we put up with it.

“ Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.

Those who passed by shouted at Jesus and made fun of him. They shook their heads

“ Listen to me, you who know what is right. Pay attention, you who have taken my instruction to heart. Do not be afraid when mere human beings make fun of you. Do not be terrified when they laugh at you.

Then the Pharisees replied,“ When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.

Didn’t Moses give you the law? But not one of you obeys the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom.
