*
And Stephen ,
full of grace and power ,
did great wonders and signs among the people .
*
Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (
as it was called ),
and of the Cyrenians ,
and of the Alexandrians ,
and of those from Cilicia and Asia ,
arose and disputed with Stephen .
*
But they could not stand against the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke .
*
Then they secretly induced men to say , »
We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God .«
*
They stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes ,
and they came on him and seized him ,
and brought him before the council .
*
They put forward false witnesses who said , »
This man never stops speaking against this holy place ,
and the law ;
*
for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place ,
and will change the customs which Moses handed down to us .«
*
And fixing their gaze on him ,
all who were sitting in the Council saw that his face was like the face of an angel .
