Acts 6:8-15 - Stephen Arrested
8 Stephen, greatly strengthened by God's favor, did remarkable signs and wonders among the people. 9 But members of the synagogue known as that of the Libyans, Cyreneans, and Alexandrians, and men from Cilicia and Asia undertook to debate with Stephen, 10 but they could not meet his wisdom and the inspiration with which he spoke.
11 So they instigated people to say, "We have heard him use abusive language about Moses and about God." 12 They aroused the people, the elders, and the scribes, and they set upon him and seized him, and brought him before the council. 13 Then they brought forward false witnesses, who said, "This man is constantly saying things against this holy place and against the Law, 14 for we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will tear this place down and change the customs that have been handed down to us by Moses." 15 Everyone who sat in the council fixed his eyes on him, and they saw that his face was like that of an angel.
