Acts 7

Stephen Is Killed

55But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and saw God’s glory and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. 56He said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at God’s right hand.” 57But they cried out with a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed at him together. 58They drove him out of the city and began to stone him. The witnesses laid their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” After saying this, he fell asleep.
