11 So they bribed some men to say, “We heard him speaking against Moses and against God!”
12 In this way they stirred up the people, the elders, and the teachers of the Law. They seized Stephen and took him before the Council.
13 Then they brought in some men to tell lies about him. “This man,” they said, “is always talking against our sacred Temple and the Law of Moses.
14 We heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will tear down the Temple and change all the customs which have come down to us from Moses!”
15 All those sitting in the Council fixed their eyes on Stephen and saw that his face looked like the face of an angel.
