Acts 6:8-15 - Stephen Arrested

⁸ And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and miracles among the people. ⁹ And certain ones of the synagogues, called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up disputing with Stephen, ¹⁰ and they were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit with which he was speaking.

¹¹ Then they bribed men, saying, that we have heard him speaking words blasphemous against Moses and God. ¹² And they excited the people and the elders and scribes, and coming upon him, seized him, and led him into the council, ¹³ and they raised up false witnesses, saying, This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place and the law; ¹⁴ for we have heard him saying, that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered unto us. ¹⁵ And all sitting in the council, having fixed their eyes on him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
