Acts 7:51-60
51“You men who are 1stiff-neckedG4644 and uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 and earsG3775 are alwaysG104 resistingG496 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; you are doing justG5613 asG5613 your fathersG3962 did. 522WhichG5101 oneG5101 of the prophetsG4396 did your fathersG3962 not persecuteG1377? They killedG615 thoseG3588 who had previouslyG4293 announcedG4293 the comingG1660 of 3the RighteousG1342 OneG1342, and 4you have nowG3568 becomeG1096 betrayersG4273 and murderersG5406 of Him; 53you whoG3748 receivedG2983 the LawG3551 as 5ordainedG1296 by angelsG32, and yet did not keepG5442 it.”
54NowG1161 when they heardG191 thisG3778, they were 6infuriatedG1282G2588, and they began gnashingG1031 their teethG3599 at him. 55But he, beingG5225 7fullG4134 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 8lookedG816 intentlyG816 into heavenG3772 and sawG3708 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, and JesusG2424 standingG2476 9at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316; 56and he saidG3004, “BeholdG2400, I seeG2334 the 10heavensG3772 openedG1272 and 11the SonG5207 of ManG444 standingG2476 at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316.” 57But they shoutedG2896 with loudG3173 voicesG5456, and coveredG4912 their earsG3775 and rushedG3729 at him with oneG3661 12mindG3661. 58When they had 13drivenG1544 him outG1544 of the cityG4172, they began stoningG3036 him; and 14the witnessesG3144 15laidG659 asideG659 their cloaksG2440 at the feetG4228 of 16a youngG3494 manG3494 namedG2564 SaulG4569. 59They went on stoningG3036 StephenG4736 as he 17calledG1941 onG1941 the Lord and saidG3004, “LordG2962 JesusG2424, receiveG1209 my spiritG4151!” 60ThenG2532 he 18fellG5087 on his kneesG1119 and criedG2896 outG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “LordG2962, 19do not holdG2476 thisG3778 sinG266 against them!” Having saidG3004 thisG3778, he 2021fellG2837 asleepG2837.
