Acts 7:54-60

Stephen Is Stoned to Death

54 Now when they heard this, they became ^afurious in their hearts, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. 55 But being ^afull of the Holy Spirit, he ^bgazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing ^cat the right hand of God; 56 and he said, “Behold, I see the ^aheavens opened up and ^bthe Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But crying out with a loud voice, they covered their ears and rushed at him with one accord. 58 And when they had ^adriven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and ^bthe witnesses ^claid aside their garments at the feet of ^da young man named Saul. 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he ^awas calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then ^afalling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, ^bdo not hold this sin against them!” And having said this, he ¹^cfell asleep.
