Acts 7:59-8:3

21st Century King James Version

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen as he called upon God and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, charge not this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

8 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

² And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

³ As for Saul, he made havoc of the church. Entering into every house and haling men and women, he committed them to prison.
