Now Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people.  Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen,  but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

Then they instigated some men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, accosted him, seized him, and brought him before the Sanhedrin.  They presented false witnesses who testified, “This man never stops saying things against [this] holy place and the law.  For we have heard him claim that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”

All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

Acts 6:8-15

"Lord, help us to stay in the truth by reading Your Word every day.  Help me to be a true witness of the Good News, too.  Amen."
