Acts 7:54-60 - Stephen's Martyrdom

54 As they continued to listen to this address, they were becoming infuriated and began to grind their teeth at him. 55 But since he was full of the Holy Spirit, he looked right into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at God's right hand. 56 So he said, "Look! I see heaven open, and the Son of Man standing at God's right hand."

57 But they raised a great shout and held their ears, and all together rushed upon him, 58 and dragged him out of the city and continued stoning him. The witnesses, in the meantime, laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 They continued stoning Stephen as he continued praying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!" 60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not charge this sin on the book against them!" On saying this he fell asleep in death.
