9 Then there arose certain men of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Lib'er-tines, and Cy-re’ni-ans and Al-exan’dri- ans and Ci-li’ci-ans and persons from Asia Minor, and they debated with Stephen. 10 But they were unable to stand up against the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they sent men and instructed them to say, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God. 12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes, and they rose up against him and seized him and brought him into the midst of the council. 13 And they appointed false witnesses who said, This man does not cease to speak against the law and against this holy land: 14 For we have heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this country and shall change the customs which Moses entrusted to you. 15 Then all who were seated at the council looked at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
