Acts 7:54-60

54Now when they heard this, they were 1infuriated, and they began gnashing their teeth at him.

55But he, being 2full of the Holy Spirit, 3looked 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 and 6the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

57But they shouted with loud voices, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one 7mind.

58When they had 8driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and 9the witnesses 10laid aside their cloaks at the feet of 11a young man named Saul.

59They went on stoning Stephen as he 12called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

60Then he 13fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, 14do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he 1516fell asleep.
