Acts 7:54-60 - Stephen's Martyrdom

54 Now when they heard these things, they were split with a saw in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth against him. 55 But being full of Holy Spirit, having gazed into heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 And he said, Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.

57 But they, having cried out in a great voice, held their ears shut, and rushed upon him with one accord. 58 And having expelled him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments beside the feet of a young man called Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And having knelt down, he cried out in a great voice, Lord, place not this sin to them. And after saying this, he slept.
