Acts 7:56 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 7:56

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.”
