{What manner of house} (Poion oikon). What sort of a
house? This interrogative is sometimes scornful as in  4:7  Lu
6:32ff.  (Page). So Stephen shows by Isaiah that Solomon was
right that the temple was not meant to "confine" God's presence
and that Jesus had rightly shown that God is a spirit and can be
worshipped anywhere by any individual of any race or land. It is
a tremendous argument for the universality and spirituality of
Christianity free from the shackles of Jewish racial and national
limitations, but its very strength only angered the Sanhedrin to
desperation.
