Acts 7:55-58

Living Bible

⁵⁵ But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily upward into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ⁵⁶ And he told them, “Look, I see the heavens opened and Jesus the Messiah^[a] standing beside God, at his right hand!”

⁵⁷ Then they mobbed him, putting their hands over their ears, and drowning out his voice with their shouts, ⁵⁸ and dragged him out of the city to stone him. The official witnesses—the executioners—took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Paul.^[b]
