Stephen Accused of Blasphemy

⁸ And Stephen, full of ^[a]faith and power, did great ^(A)wonders and signs among the people.

¹³ For those who have served well as deacons ^(A)obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

⁶ And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

⁵⁵ But he, ^(A)being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the ^(B)glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,

⁵ And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, ^(A)a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and ^(B)Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and ^(C)Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

³ Therefore, brethren, ^(A)seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this ^(B)business;

²⁹ Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants ^(A)that with all boldness they may speak Your word, ³⁰ by stretching out Your hand to heal, ^(B)and that signs and wonders may be done ^(C)through the name of ^(D)Your holy Servant Jesus.”

¹⁵ And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

¹⁰ And ^(A)they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
