10 but they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke.

11 Then they prompted some men to say, “We heard Stephen speak words of blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

12 So they stirred up the people, elders, and scribes and confronted Stephen. They seized him and brought him before the Sanhedrin,

13 where they presented false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law.

14 For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us.”
