71The wordG3056 of GodG2316 kept spreadingG837; and 2the numberG706 of the disciplesG3101 continued to increaseG4129 greatlyG4970 in JerusalemG2419, and a greatG4183 manyG3793 of the priestsG2409 were becomingG5219 obedientG5219 to 3the faithG4102.

8And StephenG4736, fullG4134 of graceG5485 and powerG1411, was performingG4160 greatG3173 4wondersG5059 and 5signsG4592 amongG1722 the peopleG2992. 9But someG5100 menG5100 from what was calledG3004 the SynagogueG4864 of the FreedmenG3032, including bothG2532 6CyreniansG2956 and 7AlexandriansG221, and someG3588 from 8CiliciaG2791 and 910AsiaG773, roseG450 upG450 and arguedG4802 with StephenG4736. 10But they were unableG3756G2480 to 11copeG436 with his wisdomG4678 and the SpiritG4151 by whomG3739 he was speakingG2980. 11ThenG5119 they secretlyG5260 inducedG5260 menG435 to sayG3004, “We have heardG191 him speakG2980 blasphemousG989 wordsG4487 againstG1519 MosesG3475 and GodG2316.” 12And they stirredG4787 upG4787 the peopleG2992, the eldersG4245, and the scribesG1122, and they 12cameG2186 upG2186 to him and draggedG4884 him awayG4884, and broughtG71 him 13beforeG1519 14the 15CouncilG4892. 13They putG2476 forwardG2476 16falseG5571 witnessesG3144 who saidG3004, “ThisG3778 manG444 does notG3756 stopG3973 17speakingG2980 againstG2596 thisG3778 18holyG40 placeG5117 and the LawG3551; 14for we have heardG191 him sayG3004 that 19thisG3778 NazareneG3480, JesusG2424, will destroyG2647 thisG3778 placeG5117 and changeG236 20the customsG1485 whichG3739 MosesG3475 handedG3860 downG3860 to us.” 15And allG3956 who were sittingG2516 in the 2122CouncilG4892 staredG816 at him, and they sawG3708 his faceG4383, which was likeG5616 the faceG4383 of an angelG32.
