Acts:6:8-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Stephen ,
full of grace and power ,
wrought wonders and great signs among the people .
*
And there arose up certain of those of the synagogue called of freedmen ,
and of Cyrenians ,
and of Alexandrians ,
and of those of Cilicia and Asia ,
disputing with Stephen .
*
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke .
*
Then they suborned men ,
saying ,
We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God .
*
And they roused the people ,
and the elders ,
and the scribes .
And coming upon [
him ]
they seized him and brought [
him ]
to the council .
*
And they set false witnesses ,
saying ,
This man does not cease speaking words against the holy place and the law ;
*
for we have heard him saying ,
This Jesus the Nazaraean shall destroy this place ,
and change the customs which Moses taught us .
*
And all who sat in the council ,
looking fixedly on him ,
saw his face as [
the ]
face of an angel .
