Stephen takes over the Book of Acts and gives a noteworthy reprise of the history of the Jews. Then he tells an unpleasant truth. Apparently it was a stoning offense.


St. Stephen, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC

  “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”

Acts7:51-53 ESV Bible Gateway Link


Historical Reprise: Acts 7:2-50
