Acts 6:8-10

8God helped Stephen in many special ways. God's power was with him. He did many miracles among the people which showed that God was with him.

9But some men spoke against Stephen. They did not agree with what he taught people. These men were from one of the Jewish meeting places in Jerusalem. People called them, ‘The Group of Free Men’. These men were Jews from the cities called Cyrene and Alexandria. Some of them were from towns in Cilicia and Asia. They began to argue with Stephen.

10But the Holy Spirit helped Stephen to be very wise when he spoke. So these men could not say that he was wrong.
