• Stephen—“Full of Divine Favor and Power”
    “Bearing Thorough Witness” About God’s Kingdom

    • “Lord Jesus, Receive My Spirit” (Acts 7:54–8:3)

      Stephen standing calmly before the Sanhedrin.

      “At hearing these things, they were infuriated in their hearts and began to grind their teeth at him.”​—Acts 7:54

      20, 21. How did the Sanhedrin react to Stephen’s words, and how did Jehovah strengthen him?

      20 The undeniable truth of Stephen’s words filled those judges with rage. Losing any semblance of dignity, they began grinding their teeth at Stephen. That faithful man must have seen that he would receive no mercy, any more than had his Master, Jesus.
