Acts 7:51-60

He went among the people  Acts 6:8  “Go preach…” - Mark 16:15; Acts 8:4  Barnabas & Paul - Acts 11, 13-15

They could not withstand him - Acts 6:10  “Disputing with Stephen” ( suzeeteoo ) a. To seek or examine together b. In the NT to discuss, dispute (question)  Thayer  It is likely that the discussion began in this way, and when they were overcome by “argument,” they resorted to angry accusations and violence

They could not withstand - Acts 6:10  “The wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake”  He spoke the truth - Acts 2; 3; 4; 5  Truth cannot be hidden  He spoke boldly - cf. Acts 4:13

They suborned false witnesses & false accusations - Acts 6:11-14 “Suborned ” hupobaloe 1.“To hire a person to act in a particular way, often involving dishonest activities - 'to hire, to bribe, to induce.'” (Greek-English Lexicon Based on Semantic Domain) 2.“To introduce underhandedly, to make a secret agreement, to suborn, put forward by collusion, trans. (Acts 6:11). To suborn in the legal sense is to induce a person to make a false oath, i.e., to commit perjury.” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary)

They suborned false witnesses and false accusations - Acts 6:11-14  Accusations:  Blasphemy against Moses, against God, against the temple and against the Law.  Don’t misrepresent your opponent  1 Peter 3:9, 16  Weapons  Ephesians 6:17-18; 2 Corinthians 10:5

They were cut to the heart - Acts 7:54  “Are these things so …” Acts 7  Stephen’s defense  Conclusion - Acts 7:51-53 Are we reaching the audience?  cf. Acts 20:27  God’s word cuts!  Hebrews 4:12; Acts 7:54; 2:37

They stopped their ears - Acts 7:57  Already heard! - Vs. 54  Determined to stop Stephen’s mouth - Vs. 58 These were Stephen’s own Jewish brethren  Jews slew the prophets  Jews slew the Righteous One - Acts 7:52  Often trouble arises from within  Acts 20:28ff; cf. Galatians 5:15; James 1:19

Some stood and watched - Acts 7:58  cf. Acts 22:20  Some watched Jesus be crucified  Matthew 27:36  Edomites condemned for being spectators  “ In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them” - Obadiah 11
