Acts 6:8-15

8NowG1161 StephenG4736, who was fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 powerG1411, was performingG4160 greatG3173 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 amongG1722 theG3588 peopleG2992. 9ButG1161 resistance aroseG450 fromG1537 whatG3588 was calledG3004 the SynagogueG4864 of theG3588 FreedmenG3032, includingG2532 CyreniansG2956, AlexandriansG221, andG2532 menG3588 fromG575 the provinces of CiliciaG2791 andG2532 AsiaG773.1 They disputedG4802 withG3588 StephenG4736, 10but they could notG3756G2480 stand up toG436 his wisdomG4678 or theG3588 SpiritG4151 by whomG3739 he spokeG2980.

11ThenG5119 they promptedG5260 some menG435 to sayG3004, “We heardG191 Stephen speakG2980 wordsG4487 of blasphemyG989 againstG1519 MosesG3475 andG2532 against GodG2316.”

12So they stirred upG4787 theG3588 peopleG2992, eldersG4245, andG2532 scribesG1122 andG2532 confrontedG2186 Stephen. They seizedG4884 himG846 andG2532 broughtG71 him beforeG1519 theG3588 SanhedrinG4892,2 13where they presentedG2476 falseG5571 witnessesG3144 who saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG444 never stopsG3756G3973 speakingG2980G4487 againstG2596 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117 andG2532 against theG3588 lawG3551. 14ForG1063 we have heardG191 himG846 sayG3004 thatG3754 JesusG2424 ofG3588 NazarethG3480 will destroyG2647 thisG3778 placeG5117 andG2532 changeG236 theG3588 customsG1485 thatG3739 MosesG3475 handed downG3860 to usG1473.”

15AllG3956 whoG3588 were sittingG2516 inG1722 theG3588 SanhedrinG4892 looked intentlyG816 atG1519 Stephen, and they saw thatG3708 hisG846 faceG4383 was likeG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
