The verses around it, from Acts 7.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
49 ‘Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me, says the Lord, or where will My place of repose be?
50 Has not My hand made all these things?’

53 you who received the law ordained by angels, yet have not kept it.”

56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
