Acts 7

Stephen is tried and accused that he said, "Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs of Moses handed down to us." We Stephen answer the accusation by showing his understanding of the Old Testament history in great detail!! Then in verse 51ff Stephen goes off on them. He is saying that they are just like their fathers who persecuted the prophets and now they are doing the same to him and other followers of Jesus. Stephen even in his death forgives asks forgiveness. Stephen's words at his death were identical to how Jesus died.
