53 you who have received the law that was given through angels¹ but have not obeyed it."

The Stoning of Stephen

54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious² and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit,³ looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.⁴ 56 "Look," he said, "I see heaven open⁵ and the Son of Man⁶ standing at the right hand of God." 57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city⁷ and began to stone him.⁸ Meanwhile, the witnesses⁹ laid their coats¹⁰ at the feet of a young man named Saul.¹¹ 59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."¹² 60 Then he fell on his knees¹³ and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them."¹⁴ When he had said this, he fell asleep.¹⁵
