Acts 6:8-15 - Stephen Arrested

8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then there arose some who be longed to the synagogue called the synagogue of the Freedmen, and some of the Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia, and they disputed with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

11 Then they instigated men to say: We have heard him speak impious words against Moses, and against God. 12 And they excited the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and took him by violence, and brought him into the Sanhedrin. 13 And they brought forward false witnesses, who said: This man ceases not to speak words against this holy place, and the law. 14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us. 15 And all that sat in the Sanhedrin, looking earnestly upon him, saw his face that it was like the face of an angel.
