Acts 7:56 (NIV)
"Look," [Stephen] said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." 57 At this they covered their ears and,
yelling at the top of their voices, they
all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out of the city
and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses
laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." 60
Then he fell on his knees and cried out,
"Lord, do not hold this sin against them."
When he had said this, he fell asleep.
