Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In parallel withActs 17:25
Paul preaches the same truth in Athens: God is not served by men's hands as though he needed anything.
“neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.”
The Scripture echoesIsaiah 66:1-2
Heaven is my throne: the question 'what kind of house will you build to me' was already rhetorical in Isaiah.
“Thus says Yahweh, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest? For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.”
That reaches back to this verse

The psalm behind the sermon: if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine.
“The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.”
