Acts 6:8-15 - Stephen Arrested

8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9 And certain of them arose from the synagogue, called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrian, and of them from Cilicia and Asia, seeking out with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

11 Then they put under men, saying, That we have heard him speaking defaming words against Moses, and God. 12 And they roused together the people, and elders, and scribes, and having stood against, they seized him, and brought to the council, 13 And set false witnesses, saying, This man ceases not speaking defaming words against this holy place, and the law: 14 For we have heard him saying; That Jesus the Nazarite shall abolish this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us. 15 And all they sitting in the council, having looked intently upon him, saw his face as the face of a messenger.
