Acts 7:2

Then Stephen answered, "Brothers [audience in the hall] and fathers [a respectful title for the elders of the Sanhedrin], listen to me.
[At first, Stephen's rather long speech may seem like an irrelevant review of Old Testament history from Abraham to David, but two main themes emerge. The first is that God is not bound to a particular country. The religious leadership was so focused on the temple, but Stephen shows how God has worked throughout history even outside of Israel. The second is that the Israelites have previously opposed the leaders God gave them. Joseph and Moses are two examples who are also models for Jesus. The headings follow the five sections into which the defense speech can be divided.]
The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham in Mesopotamia [far from the promised land of Israel, the city of Jerusalem and the holy temple], before he settled in Haran [which is also far from Israel].
