Acts 7:54-59

54Now when they heard this, they were 1cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.

55But being 2full of the Holy Spirit, he 3gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing 4at the right hand of God;

56and he said, “Behold, I see the 5heavens opened up and 6the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

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

58When they had 7driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and 8the witnesses 9laid aside their robes at the feet of 10a young man named Saul.

59They went on stoning Stephen as he 11called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
