Commentary on Acts 7:33

Theological / Devotional

Put off thy shoes. In Ex. 3 this command quite logically comes before God identifies Himself to Moses, who would hardly have needed instruction when once he recognized God’s presence. Stephen’s use of this experience would emphasize his true respect for holy places, and show that God’s presence was not limited to the precincts of the Jerusalem Temple (see on Ex. 3:5).
