Stephen in Acts 11
STEE-ven
This person shows up in Acts 11:19: “They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 11:19
“They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.”
