Acts 6:8-15 - Stephen Arrested
8 Now Stephen full of grace and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9 when some out of the several synagogues, belonging to the freed men, to the Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and to those of Cilicia, and of Asia, came to dispute with Stephen. 10 but as they were not able to withstand the force of that sublime knowledge which appeared in his discourse,
11 they suborned men, who said, we have heard him speak irreverently of Moses, and of God. 12 and they stirred up the people, the senators, and the doctors of law, who came and seiz'd him, and brought him to the council, 13 where they produc'd false witnesses, who said, this man is continually inveighing against the holy place, and against the law. 14 for we have heard him say, that Jesus the Nazarene shall destroy this place, and change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15 and all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw an air of majesty in his aspect.
