Acts 6 | The Martyrdom of Stephen | The Bible

The Apostles choose seven to assist them. Stephen is tried before the council.

Acts 6

1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

[bisolaayetigbo]

Stephen was so rooted in his belief!! He was convinced he was doing the RIGHT thing!! Even at the point of death! He was still communing with Christ!! He is DEFINITELY in greater Glory! One day, we will all be together in heaven 🙏🏽❤️

[XxOox]

Stephen's words to me is one of the greatest expression of Lord's theology, philosophy and logic

[elijahwilliams]

I pray I will have the same faith Jesus Christ and praise his name throughout my life as Stephen in the Bible did. To the point I will be willing to die by my belief in Jesus Christ who is the son of God

It is a joy to observe the earnest endeavors of the mormons as they strive to weave their timeless convictions into the ever-shifting tapestry of modern relevance.

[Mbarela]

Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints.

[hollyodii]

The truth if ever there was. The Messiah will return.

[praveenUFO]

Stephen face looked like an Angel...and he was young...and when he was been stoned he looked into the heavens and saw the GLORY of GOD and spoke through the SPIRIT of GOD saying I see the SON OF MAN STANDING ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD...and after that Stephen gave his spirit saying LORD RECIEVE MY SPIRIT...

[ashokkurapati]

Such a courageous person thank you Lord for sending us your apostles.

[stephaniemollova]

Behold I see the Heavens open and the son of man on the right hand of God ! Hallelujah!Glory to God

[ResidentKlinton]

How often I've been among the wicked and uncircumcised in heart. And how little I am like Stephen, standing up to those who do not stand for truth and goodness. In this, I am glad for the Atonement, for I can turn from my wickedness and become good again, even steadfast and unflinching like Stephen.

[jesusswag]

You stiff necked and uncircumcised people, who always resist the Holy Ghost!... that statement is so bold, Stephen really was a man of God. You won the good race of the faith brother, see you soon.

[dontai]

this is so heart warming my heart I feel my heart so empty and free for Christ Jesus only to be in it..Stephen has really changed my life so much.I LOVE YOU CHRIST JESUS

[achukagirma]

The End of This world is here oh Lord Have Mercy after all You are Mercy full! But I can't wait to see you Lord destroy EVIL!!!

[Storozhbrah]

Stephen exposed the murderers of the prophets and sealed with his blood a testimony against them. The Holy Spirit spoke through him to accuse and condemn the adversaries of Christ.

[philosophyofmany]

May he Rest In Peace and May God bless you all. I thank you Lord for all you’ve given me amen 🙏🏽.
