Stephen’s Martyrdom
54Now when they* heard these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and gnashed their* teeth at him. 55But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and* saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” 57But crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears and rushed at him with one purpose. 58And after they* had driven him* out of the city, they began to stone* him,* and the witnesses laid aside their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59And they kept on stoning Stephen as he* was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60And falling to his* knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after he* said this, he fell asleep.c
