57 [a]Then they gave a shout with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and [b]ran upon him violently all at once,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the [c]witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, named Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, who called on God, and said, Lord Jesus receive my spirit.

- Acts 7:57 The zeal of hypocrites and superstitious people, breaketh out at length into most open madness.
- Acts 7:57 This was done in a rage and fury: for at that time the Jews could put no man to death by law, as they confess before Pilate, saying that it was not lawful for them to put any man to death, and therefore it is reported by Josephus, lib. 20, that Ananus a Sadducee slew James the brother of the Lord, and for so doing, was accused before Albinus the President of the country.
- Acts 7:58 It was appointed by the Law, that the witnesses should cast the first stones, Deut. 17:7.
