13 Some men agreed to tell lies about Stephen, and they said, “This man keeps on saying terrible things about this holy temple and the Law of Moses.
14 We have heard him claim that Jesus from Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses gave us.”
15 Then all the council members stared at Stephen. They saw that his face looked like the face of an angel.
