Acts 7:56-58

Expanded Bible

⁵⁶ He said, “Look! I see heaven open and the Son of Man [^Ca title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14] standing at God’s right ·side [or hand].” [^CNormally portrayed as “sitting” at God’s right side (Ps. 110:1), Jesus is standing either to give testimony to Stephen’s faithfulness, or to welcome him into God’s presence.]

⁵⁷ Then they shouted loudly and covered their ears and all ·ran [rushed together; or rushed with one intent] at Stephen. ⁵⁸ They ·took [dragged] him out of the city and began to ·throw stones at him to kill [stone] him [^Cthe customary way to execute a criminal]. And ·those who told lies against Stephen [or his accusers; those who provided testimony; ^Lthe witnesses] left their coats ·with [^Lat the feet of] a young man named Saul [^Clater known as Paul].
