The Stoning of Stephen

Acts 7:54-60

But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God,

And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God.

Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once,

And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul.

And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit.

And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.
