7:54 When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.
7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
7:56 "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
7:57 At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him,
7:58 dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.
7:59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
7:60 Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
