The Stoning of Stephen
54 When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen.[a] 55 But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.(A) 56 “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”(B) 57 But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. 58 Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him, and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.(C) 59 While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”(D) 60 Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he died.[b](E)

Stephen Put to Death
54 Now when they heard this, they were (A)infuriated, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. 55 But he, being (B)full of the Holy Spirit, (C)looked intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing (D)at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, “Behold, I see the (E)heavens opened and (F)the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But they shouted with loud voices, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one [a]mind. 58 When they had (G)driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and (H)the witnesses (I)laid aside their cloaks at the feet of (J)a young man named Saul. 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he (K)called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then he (L)fell on his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, (M)do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he [b](N)fell asleep.
