Machitidwe 6: 8-10, 7: 54-59
6:8 Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
6:9 But certain ones, from the synagogue of the so-called Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those who were from Cilicia and Asia rose up and were disputing with Stephen.
6:10 But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking.
7:54 | Ndiye, pakumva izi, they were deeply wounded in their hearts, and they gnashed their teeth at him. |
7:55 | But he, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and gazing intently toward heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Ndipo adati, “Taonani!, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.” |
7:56 | Then they, kulira ndi mawu akulu, blocked their ears and, ndi mtima umodzi, rushed violently toward him. |
7:57 | And driving him out, beyond the city, they stoned him. And witnesses placed their garments beside the feet of a youth, who was called Saul. |
7:58 | And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” |
7:59 | Ndiye, having been brought to his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, kunena, “Ambuye, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his murder. |
