12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council, 13 and they ^cset up false ^dwitnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against ^ethis holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth ^fwill destroy this place and will ^gchange ^hthe customs that Moses delivered to us.”

58 Then ^sthey cast him out of the city and ^tstoned him. And ^uthe witnesses laid down their garments ^vat the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And as they were stoning Stephen, ^whe called out, “Lord Jesus, ^xreceive my spirit.” 60 And ^yfalling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, ^z“Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, ^ahe fell asleep.
