STEPHEN’S
TESTIMONY – PART 9
ACCUSATION
AND ACTION
Acts 7:51-60
King James Version (KJV)
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in
heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do
ye. 52 Which of the prophets have
not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of
the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and
murderers: 53 Who have received the law
by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their
teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy
Ghost, looked up stedfastly into
heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on
the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice,
and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the
city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young
man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and
saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried
with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said
this, he fell asleep.
