The Stoning of Stephen (ACT 7:54-60)

[7:54] Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him.

[7:55] But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

[7:56] And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

[7:57] But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together at him.

[7:58] Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

[7:59] And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

[7:60] And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
