Before the same council. 2. The like false accusations. 3. A similar thrusting out of the city. 4. The like unrighteous doom. II. THE GLORY OF THE CROSS, displayed — 1. In courageous defence. 2. In patient meekness. 3. In love, blessing its enemies — Jesus' first and Stephen's last dying words. 4. In a blessed hope of heaven. (K. Gerok.)
