I am afraid I don’t have a whole lot to comment on today, these words speak for themselves. The “Freedmen” bribed people to say that they had heard Stephen committing blaspheme. They had further convinced people to lie saying that Jesus’ followers were undermining the Law and desired to destroy Judaism. Not a glimmer of truth to what they said.
How did Stephen respond? One can almost imagine one of those cartoons where the character’s face is all red, steam is pouring out his ears, and a train whistle is going off. Surely these blatant lies could not be taken quietly!
But no, Stephen sat there with the face of an angel.
Maybe we should keep this in mind the next time we are mistreated and lies are being told about us.
