The First Christian Martyr

54 When they heard these things, they were enraged in their hearts[a] and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God’s glory, with[b] Jesus standing at the right hand of God,(A) and he said, 56 “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”(B)

57 Then they screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him. 58 They threw him out of the city and began to stone(C) him. And the witnesses laid their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.(D) 59 They were stoning Stephen as he called out: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”(E) 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice,(F) “Lord, do not charge them with this sin!” And saying this, he fell asleep.(G)

Stephen’s Martyrdom

54 Now when they[a] heard these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and gnashed their[b] teeth at him. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven and[c] saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” 57 But crying out with a loud voice, they stopped their ears and rushed at him with one purpose. 58 And after they[d] had driven him[e] out of the city, they began to stone[f] him,[g] and the witnesses laid aside their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they kept on stoning Stephen as he[h] was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 And falling to his[i] knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” And after he[j] said this, he fell asleep.[k]
