Acts 7:48

7:48 Yet the Most High ¹  does not live in houses made by human hands, ²  as the prophet says,

Acts 21:10

21:10 While we remained there for a number of days, ³  a prophet named Agabus ⁴  came down from Judea.

[7:48]  ¹ sn The title the Most High points to God’s majesty (Heb 7:1; Luke 1:32, 35; Acts 16:7).

[7:48]  ² 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).

[21:10]  ³ tn BDAG 848 s.v. πολύς 1.b.α has “ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους for a (large) number of days, for many days…Ac 13:31. – 21:10…24:17; 25:14; 27:20.”

[21:10]  ⁴ sn Agabus also appeared in Acts 11:28. He was from Jerusalem, so the two churches were still in contact with one another.
