The Stoning of Stephen- Acts 7:54-60
When they heard this, they were furious
and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen,
full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and
saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at
the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see
heaven open and the Son of Man standing at
the right hand of God."
At this they covered their ears and, yelling
at the top of their voices, they all rushed at
him, dragged him out of the city and began
to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid
their clothes at the feet of a young man
named Saul.
While they were stoning him, Stephen
prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then
he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do
not hold this sin against them." When he
had said this, he fell asleep.
