Stephen, the first martyr

Stephen is stoned in Jerusalem for his witness and dies praying for those who kill him. A young man named Saul keeps their coats.

KJV (Acts 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.”
