Acts 7:53-60

53 you who received the law as ¹ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it."

Stephen Put to Death

54 Now when they heard this, they were ²cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.

55 But being ³full of the Holy Spirit, he ⁴gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing ⁵at the right hand of God;

56 and he said, "Behold, I see the ⁶heavens opened up and ⁷the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse.

58 When they had ⁸driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and ⁹the witnesses ¹⁰laid aside their robes at the feet of ¹¹a young man named Saul.

59 They went on stoning Stephen as he ¹²called on the Lord and said, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"

60 Then ¹³falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, ¹⁴do not hold this sin against them!" Having said this, he ¹⁵fell asleep.
