Stephen in Acts 22
STEE-ven
This person shows up in Acts 22:20: “When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 22:20
“When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’”
