56. He said, “Look! I see heaven open. And I see the Son of Man standing at God’s right side!”
57. Then they all shouted loudly. They covered their ears with their hands and all ran at Stephen.
58. They took him out of the city and threw stones at him until he was dead. The men who told lies against Stephen left their coats with a young man named Saul.
