56 Stephen said, “Look! I see heaven open. And I see the Son of Man standing at God’s right side.”
57 Everyone there started shouting loudly, covering their ears with their hands. Together they all ran at Stephen.
58 They took him out of the city and began throwing stones at him. The men who told lies against Stephen gave their coats to a young man named Saul.
59 As they were throwing the stones at him, Stephen was praying. He said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
60 He fell on his knees and shouted, “Lord, don’t blame them for this sin!” These were his last words before he died.
