Acts 6:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ The Holy Spirit gave Stephen such wisdom in responding to their arguments that they were humiliated; ¹¹ in retaliation, they spread a vicious rumor: “We heard Stephen speak blasphemies against Moses and God.”

¹² Their rumor prompted an uprising that included common people, religious officials, and scholars. They surprised Stephen, grabbed him, and hauled him before the council.
