Act 7:55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

Act 7:56  And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

Act 7:57  Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

Act 7:58  And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

Act 7:59  And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

Act 7:60  And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.  Stephen was one of the seven deacons, he was full of faith, & the Holy Ghost. Thats exactly what we need to be, He stood against those that accused keeping his eye on Jesus and his reward. He lived for Jesus till the very end, Jesus from the cross said " Father forgive them for they know not what they do", Stephen from his knees said " Lay not this sin to their charge" God bless praying for you today
