Acts 7:57
Compare all
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 7:57

They - stopped their ears - As a proof that he had uttered blasphemy, because he said, He saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. This was a fearful proof against them; for if Jesus was at the right hand of God, then they had murdered an innocent person; and they must infer that God' s justice must speedily avenge his death. They were determined not to suffer a man to live any longer who could say he saw the heavens opened and Jesus Christ standing at the right hand of God.
