Acts 7:51-60

51“You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit. As your ancestors did, you do also.

52Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They even killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become.

53You received the law under the direction of angels and yet have not kept it.”

54When they heard these things, they were enraged and gnashed their teeth at him.

55Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

56He said, “Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57They yelled at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him.

58They dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59While they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

60He knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after saying this, he fell asleep.
