Acts 7:54
Compare all
52 aWhich of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of bthe Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,  
53 awho have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”  

Stephen the Martyr

54 aWhen they heard these things they were1 cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.  
55 But he, abeing full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the bglory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,  
56 and said, “Look! aI see the heavens opened and the bSon of Man standing at the right hand of God!”  
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord;
58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And athe witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.  
59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, areceive my spirit.”  
60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, a“Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Acts 7:54

They were cut to the heart - They were exceedingly enraged and indignant. The whole course of the speech had been such as to excite their anger, and now they could restrain themselves no longer.

They gnashed on him ... - Expressive of the bitterness and malignity of their feeling.
