Daniel 2:34

2:34 You were watching as ¹  a stone was cut out, ²  but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces.

Daniel 2:45

2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. ³  The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”

Acts 7:48

7:48 Yet the Most High ⁴  does not live in houses made by human hands, ⁵  as the prophet says,

Acts 7:2

7:2 So he replied, ⁶  “Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our forefather ⁷  Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,

Colossians 1:1

Salutation

1:1 From Paul, ⁸  an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Hebrews 9:11

Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary

9:11 But now Christ has come ⁹  as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

Hebrews 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ¹⁰  of the true sanctuary ¹¹  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

¹ tn Aram “until.”

² tc The LXX, Theodotion, and the Vulgate have “from a mountain,” though this is probably a harmonization with v. 45.

³ tn Aram “after this.”

⁴ sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).

⁵ sn The phrase made by human hands is negative in the NT: Mark 14:58; Acts 17:24; Eph 2:11; Heb 9:11, 24. It suggests “man-made” or “impermanent.” The rebuke is like parts of the Hebrew scripture where the rebuke is not of the temple, but for making too much of it (1 Kgs 8:27; Isa 57:15; 1 Chr 6:8; Jer 7:1-34).

⁶ tn Grk “said.”

⁷ tn Or “ancestor”; Grk “father.”

⁸ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

⁹ tn Grk “But Christ, when he came,” introducing a sentence that includes all of Heb 9:11-12. The main construction is “Christ, having come…, entered…, having secured…,” and everything else describes his entrance.

¹⁰ tn Or “prefiguration.”

¹¹ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.
