Stephen is seized
Acts 6:8-15
6:8Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.
6:9But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.
6:10They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
6:11Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
6:12They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,
6:13and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.
6:14For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”
6:15All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.
